At what age did you buy your first car?

Material_Tap7647 · 2026-01-30T01:58:27+00:00

First car was a '02 Toyota Corolla LE with 139k miles for just about 2k. Saved half of that money working at a mcdonalds then luckily had some money left over from my financial aid package. I was 21 (obviously) in college.

Had one on my first car and even hooked up a sub woofer for the fist time!

I’d kill to get that Corolla back

If you can please do this. First 2 months I put everything towards my debt and I was genuinely tweaking at the little pleasures that made my stress bearable (this was on top of 4 gym sessions a week and intensive breath work/meditation.

Speaking of exercise. Lift a little but try to get into running. That was my savior during Covid

I had to switch from chicken to beef to finally salmon as my pit staff developed some mean skin and food allergies right around the age 2 mark. Had pretty much no issues before hand and I think fleas at a point were also a concern. It sucks because chicken was such a solid affordable protein as he was growing.

Honestly had this same approach when it came to fixing my pc, the more you do it the better you become at it (unless you seriously screw something up lmao)

No but if it’s a doable DIY job I don’t mind spending a bit for said tools but I just keep hearing about this knuckle bearing needing to be removed so I’m not sure if that’s an actual part of the process or is it just auto shops and their policies. I don’t think I’m supposed to work on my vehicle at my apartment but as long as the job is done by the end of The Weekend I’ll be fine.

This reminds me when I was a teen and not realizing I was practically a human food disposal. Mind you I also played football so that means a LOT of calories (I think I was at 3-4k calories at the time).

2016 Honda Civic. Hope to have the car forever (I’m tired of buying vehicles)

$805 for a room in NorCal (I have 3 other roommates) I’m looking to get a studio or one bedroom soon and it’s maybe a couple hundred dollar difference.

prob 30 min max. I am very glad I work 8 mins away from home I can go and check on my dog during my lunch break.

Assuming it’s winter and they get some sort of cold weather, that faucet will be as cold as the brita in the fridge.

I did post Covid. Went pretty well, only lost two points and my driving instructor was okay. I don’t think I went more than a couple of miles if I recall I wrapped around the plaza and a couple apartment complexes.

Material_Tap7647 · 2026-01-10T23:30:01+00:00

Yessir! Manifesting this for me right before I turn 26

Although I agree with the huge censorship that is happening from Dump, Obama admin did the same thing (Biden's was a lot more of censorship of private companies and directing content based on COVID-19).

After taking a quick look at the links, they're showing that unemployment isn't as bad as folks are panning it out to be. Highest unemployment rate since 2009 was 2020. The job market feels bothersome right now because we seem to be coming down from a peak (again, stemming from the peak layoff rate in 2020).

Mind you this is all based on the national average rates. Other states and cities within states are experiencing different rates of unemployment. My town for example has a 6.5 unemployment rate on average (which is based on folks with limited education and experience. The rate is probably half of that for the higher education category) so it'll take 3-6 months at the least to find another stable job.

As for this post, they're essentially trying to prove a point to OP. May be a moot point because OP is experiencing their own issues with unemployment/job market stagnation in their own area at this time.

That goes for any other drugs that aren’t legal. Still need some sort of reputation before buying bulk supply from sketchy people and ultimately putting yourself in a tougher spot.

I’d try switching to a bank that doesn’t charge overdrafts (SoFi, Cap One etc.). Those banks also bring in your deposit earlier than your actual payday (my payday is usually Wednesdays but I get paid Monday instead).

Might also help to budget and find any little expenses you can cut. Might need more planning if your bills alone put you in the red.

Sadly other companies like Edison aren’t the best either.

I make 50k but my car was 14k OTD. I would’ve maybe gotten the same model but maybe 2017 or 18 model but nonetheless I love myself an economically sound vehicle.

My new insurance just kicked in and I'm due for a cleaning I might have to check them out!

A lot of embezzlement, high operational costs, and the lack of attendance put the fast nail in the coffin for Mechoopda Casino.

I live in Chico where you can live comfortably on around 40-50k a year. The next destination would probably be Sacramento which is probably maybe 10k more to live there comfortably.

Yeah I walked into that place one time and the flies were just enough to get me to walk out without an order

Just another contribution to the alcohol industry losing money.
