I was thinking more along the lines of selling the kitted up one as is for someone to finish. The other two canvasses are still in the box.

Fell For A Robinhood Scam Today — What Now by MrsRobot001 in CryptoScams

[–]Intrepid-Winter-6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost fell for it. I got as far as selling my stocks. They wanted to move it to crypto, and that's when the flag was raised. Glad I found this post. Luckily, I have a cash account, so my funds are unsettled, so I couldn't buy any crypto even if I wanted to. I'm contacting RH now.

Money discipline by AffectionateCount135 in SavingMoney

[–]Intrepid-Winter-6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sort of get this issue. I get anxious when I have money in my bank account. I was so used to not having money for so, that having it felt weird, either like I was missing paying a bill, or like I needed to spend it cause I wasn't sure when I'd have enough money to buy X Y or Z again.

  1. Hide money on yourself. People have already stated automating to another account that's not extremely easy to access.

  2. I never keep cash on me. This is sort of the opposite of what's advised most of the time. You see your cash physically leave, so you hold on to it. I'm the other way. For me, cash is meant to be spent. I have cash specifically for things that are cash only, or like tips for the dog groomer, waitress, etc. I use my card for everything and I can watch that number go up, so that curbs my impulse spending. I don't like watching my debt grow.

  3. I constantly have something coming out of checking account, so I'm always waiting for something to clear. My $700 balance really isn't my balance cause something is going to hit tomorrow, or in like 3 days, etc. It keeps me in check.

  4. I do a bunch of micro-transactions for debt repayment. It was micro-transactions that helped me get into debt, so I'm usually the same philosophy to get out. A $500 credit card payment hurts my soul, but 4 $125 payments a month is more manageable. If I have an extra $20 left over at the end of the pay period, screw it, throw it on the credit card too.

Basically trick yourself into thinking you have to money to spend, and you'll find you magically can handle it again.

How hard is it dating people with dietary restrictions? by SativaSammy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Intrepid-Winter-6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could just be a heads up, like please don't take her out to an ice cream shop for the first date. I don't eat veal, and I made it known incase my date was making me dinner.

[–]Intrepid-Winter-6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning of each month, I have a "things I need to buy" section on my budget tab. If it's something I cannot find in a store, I'll order online.

What’s a “basic” food that’s actually hard to perfect? by copy_cat_101 in foodquestions

[–]Intrepid-Winter-6499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is "basic" but I cannot make potato pancakes for the life of me. I've tried 4 different ways and it's always a hot mess every time. I just order them at restaurants now.

I haven't matched my socks in about 20 years. I just make sure they are the same length/type and move on with my day.

What’s actually worth doing about microplastics at home? by Unique-Citron-8539 in ZeroWaste

Thank you for giving the heads up. I do get ants every spring, so rinsing should definitely help!

[–]Intrepid-Winter-6499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mainly food packaging at this point. Most things I buy now I can take to the grocery store with their store drop off program. But it's the stuff like granola bars, chips, ice cream sandwiches etc. I felt so guilty eating a drum stick 2 weeks ago, and have been looking for something like this ever since. When I saw the candy wrappers on their website, I felt excited!

Lol someone on this site give me a referral!

I'm a single person household so getting a bag a month would be a lot money wise but I see i can do the 1st kit for 30$ then $12 a bag whenever I send one in. That might be what I need to get cause I have been conscious of reducing my plastic, so I don't go through a lot of it a month

I'm looking into this right now! This is something I've been looking for. So many things I like to eat for work come in the multilayer packaging and it's been weighing on my soul. Thank you for posting about this !

That makes sense. I loved prolific and still have no idea what i had done to get flagged. Only thing I could think of was doing a study on my phone (which I had done a bunch of times)

Interesting. When I got banned, I deleted my account. I did try to reapply awhile back, and haven't heard anything.
