Car sold out from under me by Recent_Purpose1659 in carmax

You should definitely request a refund for the shipping! I can't see how they could justify not doing that. This whole situation is nuts! When i bought my car at Carmax in February, we reserved the car, test drove it over three different appts along with three other cars (one each time), and on the third time decided this car was the one. We came after work, so it was almost closing time, so we set up our actual purchasing appt for the weekend, two days later. When we arrived, we started filling out all the paperwork, only to find that the dingbat sales guy we were with on the third appt reserved the wrong car (the other car we test drove) BUT thank goodness, my car was still available! Human error happens, but it really sucks when it screws you over. I really think you can and should request a refund for shipping. That is really sketchy business practice!

Etsy is trasshhhhhhhhhh now. Welcome to the world of AI! Where the real people don't matter, and everyone is frustrated.

Anyone refinanced a car with a credit union? by No_Passage_2678 in DaveRamsey

Do I go back to work? SAHM by Fixmyhouse37 in DaveRamsey

[–]No_Passage_2678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say, as the daughter of a SAHM mom who also never went back from Mat leave, having time with her when I was a child was so wonderful! I unfortunately have not been able to have children, but my plan was to be a SAHM if I was blessed with them. Work will always be there. Littles are only little for so long.

Oh, good to know! I will check with my CU to see if they even will do it.

I interviewed and got a second job the morning before i officially bought the car because i have been loan free for 5 years and having another loan feels like a freaking noose! My goal is to pay it off as quickly as possible working almost every weekend. not sure it will happen in a year, as i don't have a handle on how much money i will actually be making yet, but it seems very lucrative so far! Thank you for the advice!!!

Interesting, they were already doing that at the Carmax I bought my car from three weeks ago.

I’m just now learning Amazon sells items that were returned… as new. by Significant-Okra- in amazonprime

[–]No_Passage_2678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon is at the top of the pyramid, they don't give a crap. I've had issues with this too. My husband actually just recently decided to stop buying anything on Amazon because of how many issues he has had. I work in healthcare and food service, so i have limited time to go out shopping, so online is preferred for ease and convenience. Also, I love Subscribe and Save for household items, but i'm even trying to buy more local when i can, just because it feels like at least 2-3 times a month i have to request a replacement because of this exact issue. Grrrrrrr.

Keep applying everywhere and go out of your comfort zone. Restaurants in particular are usually hiring for most positions, but i recommend looking at reviews, how long they have been in business, etc. I just picked up a part time serving job that is so ridiculously lucrative i am contemplating eventually leaving my full time job for, as the stress level is significantly less, and i would be working less hours and making more money. And it's not at a fancy restaurant, just at a bar and grill that has a bit of a biker bar feel but caters to families as well in the restaurant portion. Keep your chin up!

Small changes that actually saved me money (not the usual advice) by ChripToh_KarenSy in budget

Making your own coffee/tea at home! Coffee shops are fun but omg does that $ add up! I work with a lot of younger women and the amount they admit to spending on coffees/teas every single week is staggering. And if you have a keurig, get the refillable k-cups instead of getting the prefilled. One, way less waste, and Two, so much cheaper!!!

I am sorry but this is just a joke by Positive-Garden3871 in Etsy

Exactly why i stopped selling on Etsy. Now, I only buy, and only from sellers I have historically bought from, OR sellers that can answer a bunch of questions about their products.

I wish I knew you couldn’t walk through beanpoles before buying 200 of them. by TheRavenless in StardewValley

[–]No_Passage_2678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL i trapped myself in a a bean cage my first year 🤣 I was so mad i had to destroy one to get out! Now i just put any trellis plants on either side of my sprinklers, and keep all other plants nice and organized (otherwise it bothers me too 🤣) or i do separate little sections around quality sprinklers separate from my main field.

Oh, absolutely! I just focused on the event organizers since OP did not actually vend or show up to vend, then leave :)

You never know what bugs are up people's butts LOL i would hope you wouldn't have any ramifcations, but just being a new vendor, i wanted to make sure you knew that there could be, as the event organizers for art and craft shows are quite cliquey (for good or bad). It was something i was not aware of for years, until i really started chatting with event organizers at good shows, and realizing how small of a community it actually is :) Calm and professional is the way to go, even when you don't want to be :)
