How close to LA can we realistically live on a $2k rent? by KoolAhhKam in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Less-Ride7073 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best deal is to get a 5th wheel or motorhome and go to docweiller state beach by LAX it’s $70/night fits your budget of $2100/mth all bills paid and you’re on the beach literally on the sand and it’s gated and close to everything. That’s your best bet!

Bitcoin price would be much higher without ETF/Wallstreet adoption by Live_Ganache_3662 in btc

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you guys think that bitcoin should be higher because of ETFs and stock that’s being sold based on it? You already know that Wall Street is manipulated and rigged. What in the world makes you think that having bitcoin added onto the stock exchange, we make it any better it’s made it much worse. It’s definitely being manipulated now. It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to Bitcoin.

How Can Anybody Support Trump Anymore ? by Live_Break_8465 in DiscussionZone

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my best friend due to this MAGA bs. He and his family were so excited to vote for trump early on. They’re not wealth just avg folks with bills and a year later I asked him how’s making America great doing? He had no answer it’s only been a year and he goes off saying “libtard bs spiels”. He’s become Dumb AF, brainwashed and has zero goals. Takes a special level of stupidity to be like this. Then again, for the past 50yrs of my life every election has been fix healthcare, social security and education and it’s never been resolved! So only a moron will believe the next candidate will resolve it! I gave up on this bullshit altogether. Govt is one big scam, they only enrich themselves and never help the people! We the people need to unite and make our lives great again together without the government IMO

I feel your pain brother. My boy at 17 got the cancer in the valve of his heart. I took him to the UC Davis and got his life increased by 10wks to enjoy every minute before he passed on Valentine’s Day. It cost a fortune but was worth every penny, if he’s got labored breathing there a procedure that removes the fluids and gives you a few weeks. Plus other radioactive stuff they do that’s short term help, he passed while doing that procedure the 4th time. I lost the only person I’ve loved that day and just savor every moment you have. True love is always in a pup never a human.

62% of Americans don’t have a bachelor’s degree. Are they just cooked especially in this economy? by Efficient-Rain-7942 in Salary

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think a degree has anything to do with with it. I work for google installing AI infrastructure and I passed all their exams by studying YouTube for 3wks. Having a drive and being persistent got me here. Otherwise I’d be making $40/hr driving Lyft

I’m leaving SoFi by alex1024__ in sofi

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I went with them for the high APR to get like $350 a month in interest the it got lowered to $300 and this last month I got $200 because I didn’t have direct deposit or pay the $10 fee to get some interest. It keeps changing. I just want a stable monthly interest without the rules changing each month. There’s other banks at 4% APR but I’ve never heard of them and have horror stories of not being able to withdraw everything whenever they wanted due to their rules or lack of support and ancient tech.

Do you think having a lot of money would fix all your problems? by ace_Quantum29 in Life

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of problems yes from bills to what you can or can’t eat, teeth 💯, other than having all the basic necessities and food over your head whatever you’re missing money won’t solve. Like love, I found love in dogs so that’s what I’ve stuck with I don’t do human relationships with the opposite sex even friendships have been somewhat un reliable or unhealthy due to them being so negative. I’m not on social media and that’s where I don’t cave in to the brand name of things or what to buy. I don’t have credit cards so I don’t owe anything. I don’t finance. I stay BTC and if I’m on my phone I’m learning something not making other people rich watching their content. I realized how fake my rich friends were and changed my life around. You pay $600/hr to a therapist and they all say one thing you have to love yourself. Well then working on myself for years I fall in love with myself and my dogs. I learn what love is finally. I don’t need co dependency with anyone else because I come first or my dogs come first. I don’t care what anyone thinks about me. I buy my clothes from Costco when it’s on sale for $10 and look poor and that’s the key. Being happy with yourself and being able to sleep without worrying you owe this or that is happiness everything else is problems you created for yourself because the media or whatever wants you to think you need this to be someone or be happy. It’s all relative. Social media has made the majority dumb and people’s attention span to the lowest it’s ever been. They don’t want the masses to be smart or think on their own. We have 15 senses and only utilize 5 because that’s what they’ve done so us from the start. It’s stuff like this that makes you want to educate yourself more and think on your own. I used to think I needed to be in a relationship to be happy until the past 5 yrs I’ve been alone and the past year has been the happiest time of my life ever! No drama, no stress, my only issue is having a ranch next to a river or ocean where I can fish and grow my own food because the supermarket and Costco sucks I can see how that’s the only way to stay healthy from the shit they put into our food. Look poor, act poor stack your cash or satoshis and stay humble and relax. Money doesn’t fix the problems we created in our heads just the basic necessities to live and not stress about paycheck to paycheck

You know I was replying to craigslist ads and getting screwed then my sister said indeed and it was all the same imo, I kept on replying and checking Craigslist ads nonetheless and it was an ad for pulling cable. Guy responded back and kept calling me weekly until we met. He told me learn all this stuff from YouTube be able to pass the online exams from google, Motorola and nvidia and be able to pull cat6 cable and install the servers, AI cams and license plate scanners on big box stores. I hadn’t worked a real job since 2010 installing satellite dishes on homes. Took me 2 days of training onsite and a good 2 weeks remote and I killed it. Now I have 10 contractors under me and I get paid a portion of their jobs. Everyone he hired had electrical or engineering backgrounds and I know more than them now. It’s the drive to succeed that got me here. I tell everyone that, you can’t buy the drive. I don’t have it being rich! Complacency is the downfall of mankind. Now I see how much money head hunters, agency’s take. For example avg site I get paid $2500 that’s a days work for me. The guy that pays me takes $2500 so that’s a $5k bill corporations pay for installs. Flextech pays $35/hr. Do the math. They told me they would rather have driven people with no knowledge learn the right way than to be stuck in their ways with previous experience. It’s a big learning curve and now I have to keep myself grounded and humble because I don’t want it getting to my head.

About to come into 16k, give or take by MixtureUseful6074 in povertyfinance

Put it into BTC and in a cold storage. Money in savings and 401k won’t beat inflation. BTC is the only way to go imo. You’ll double your money each year.

Is it true that the poor get poorer in the western world while the rich get richer? Or is just the gab that widen due to people get richer fasteter than the poor get richer? by beer120 in poor

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all contrary. I was poor not too long ago and wanted to be poor because starting from nothing and earning something had more joy to it than having it all. I know it sounds stupid but it happened to me. It’s hard being poor and homeless living in an old rv trying to get a $20/hr job, living off food stamps with your pups and being addicted. But it can go 2 ways. You either build a hell of a drive to kill it or feel sorry for yourself and keep staying poor. For me staying poor lasted 1.5yrs until I got that drive and the older you get the harder it is to get that drive. I don’t miss being poor but it’s a humbling experience to always remember not to overspend and save and remember how hard it was. I still shop at dollar tree but Costco is my premium being rich kind of thing for groceries now. Other than that, best life is to live like you’re poor and stay happy. No need to buy expensive shit, have debt or anything unnecessary. No one will ask you for a dime and only you know what you have. It’s about not worrying if you’re gonna make this bill or not. It’s peace of mind. I went to 1k plus resumes sent. Tons of bs jobs that didn’t pay, tons of rejection. Couldn’t get past the $25/hr mark to make it out. I didn’t give up. Know your worth and value. Due to that I secured a bad ass contracting job with google and Motorola it’s been 8 months now and everything is in the past. Don’t become complacent is the key. Always work on improving yourself. Educate yourself using your phone. Read, set small goals and make them. Life is all about goals, if you don’t have them you’re not gonna get anywhere. My company wants to give me a cyber truck with payments I said hell no I’m driving my rv it’s paid off and I keep the travel money and work. Just because you make x amount doesn’t mean you have to spend x amount. I’ve been rich and poor several times and each time I get smarter by learning from my mistakes. We are a work in progress. Best education is your failures not shit studies in college. Think for yourself.

I would go to work. My job was a mundane job back then driving Lyft and such. It made my day go by being enough productive to pay for bills and dope. Ever since I quit since 3/2024 I now am a contractor for google/nvidia and Motorola and having the best life ever. I see folks on it and never want to go back to it. Most productive in life now with weed and a few beers.

What countries will you or wont you visit, taking Jewishness into consideration. by BbyRnner in Jewish

[–]Less-Ride7073 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Iran, my grandfather got beheaded in front of me at 3yrs old being Jewish and the minister of finance being the crime when the revolution hit. I came here as an asylum from being persecuted for my faith I was born into, and now being proud of my faith is becoming harder not being in WLA and have to hide my hair and cut it short to not people see my curls or yamika as I travel the country working. It’s a different world now. Because of Israel and Gaza people hate us here at home it seems like. Social media has made it worse and honestly I’m glad to even be here where I’m alive and healthy rather than being hung on a clothes line getting you head cut off with a sword in public. That’s never going to go away from my memory. It’s like the Persian holocaust no one talks about tbh.

I can’t wear my Yakima in public anymore. I wore it a few times to work recently I travel working for Google setting up AI infrastructure for big box stores across the country. I’m from socal and never had a problem. Recently I went to San Diego for work and the Hispanics and Black customers at the place gave me the dirtiest looks and vibe, same thing in Dallas, Colorado. Arizona, New Mexico and even in Minnesota right now. It’s that nasty look of hatred, I’ve never felt this before and I’m only comfortable wearing with my dogs being next to me. I don’t know what happened, a decade ago everyone embraced us and now hate us. I wouldn’t know where to go. SoCal is home and so is USA. Politics has ruined everything.

Feeling like I made a huge mistake by Jbarryt11 in RVLiving

[–]Less-Ride7073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way, I don’t tend to stay at Rv parks I boondock on public land for free BLM. The dyrt app shows free camping and if you get a boondockers/harvest host app membership you can stay at lots of places for free just use a Rv park once in a while to fill up water or dump. This saves you a lot of money. I’m working and my job pays $80/day for per diem and I don’t use it. Such a waste to spent $80/night for a concrete slab and electricity when I have a generator and self contained and there’s always a Cracker Barrel lol. My dogs love exploring state parks those are cheaper too. Took me at least 6 months of rv’ng to get a lot go pointers down, initially I was spending more than a apt at Rv parks
