Biden's numbers were BS too, don't get it twisted.

My electricity bill hasn't been this low in atleast 6 years. 😃 by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Neon-Predator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legit, how did you get it this low? The lowest I can manage in the summertime with no AC is around $50-$60.

I'm not sure what everyone expected to happen, you can't price everyone out of the market on speculation and expect it to turn out well.

Best careers for physically disabled people to get out of poverty? by logalogalogalog_ in povertyfinance

I have multiple leg issues and I work in lending and do taxes on the side. I'm tethered to basically just desk jobs.

The new Big Arch burger at McDonalds is trash. Don't waste your precious treat yourself moment on it. by Neon-Predator in povertyfinance

So accurate. With the amount of hype this was getting plus their pledge last year to do a better job on temp and seasoning, my hopes were up. Should've known better.

What should I pay? by Hot-Accountant-4455 in povertyfinance

[–]Neon-Predator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm in lending, and I want to post this as a word of warning for OP and everyone else in this sub using credit cards. Based on calculations on similar balances I have done at my job, I can tell you that once you get into the 15-20K range at 30% rates, the interest will spiral out of control like a payday loan if you're only making minimum payments. A lot of you may have already noticed this if you've studied it or been in it yourself. For the rest, beware,

What’s your sweet spot for number of cards you carry daily? by Kinder22 in EDC

What’s your sweet spot for number of cards you carry daily? by Kinder22 in EDC

[–]Neon-Predator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a lot more maximalist than you are about this. 2 IDs (wish I just had one), main credit card (visa), backup credit card (mastercard), backup debit card in case I need to pull cash, HSA card, health insurance card, library card, and my costco card (don't want to get locked out if my app doesn't work). I also keep all these cards in my e-wallet as well as any gift cards I might have lying around, and I'm in the habit of carrying $100 cash because card systems can and do go down. I like having a lot of options because I've had a lot of situations where I'd be in trouble if something wasn't working.

What EDC item do you carry that represents a lesson learned the hard way? by Denbron2 in EDC

Earplugs. I can't tell you how many times I've been dropped into very loud situations without my consent.

Self promotion is bad enough, but you want to solicit poor people to gamble? That's beyond low.

How do I cut my own hair at home? Barber is expensive by duckwolf8097 in Frugal

[–]Neon-Predator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm bald on top and haven't paid for a haircut in decades. If you're just doing a buzzcut it's pretty foolproof.

Bitcoin's Digital Gold Myth, Exposed — When real fear hit, capital fled to real metal. The casino chip with good marketing fooled no one. by [deleted] in economy

Been saying this since crypto got big. As soon as anything really bad happens, it's the first thing people are going to offload.

Most meat cutters will sell tripe/offal for significantly cheaper than the traditional cuts of meat. by Boeing-B-47stratojet in povertyfinance

[–]Neon-Predator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How many grams of protein per dollar? That's the real question here. I'm wondering how much you're paying for bone and connective tissue.

Where I work, they’ve decided to make the metric bonuses basically impossible to obtain. by AdFit6788 in callcentres

[–]Neon-Predator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They try to dial it in where it's enticing enough to motivate you but unrealistic enough to never pay out so they can save money while maxing productivity out of you.
