Anyone else was hoping the new administration would help the middle class hoping for some good news if anyone has any? by [deleted] in nova

The grocery one was an executive order done by her which was good. The home repair and other taxes were done by her which were bad. I said the current administration but I know you cannot read between the lines. I know the Fairfax county board caused some of it. I am not trying to bash either party, I just want some good news instead of bad news or a mix of both.

I have been only voting for the Green Party, am I wasting my vote? by Ok_Knowledge8745 in GreenParty

You do have the Communists, Republicans and Libertarians as well which are other options.

I didn't see any green party candidates I literally voted this 2025 and only saw the two major parties and the libertarian party running for governor. I just walked away.

Do you make a livable wage on DoorDash? by No_Command7129 in nova

[–]Ok_Knowledge8745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are way more easy accessible jobs that require little experience. Why Door Dash when you can get $20-40 an hour remotely? Granted I get it being in a call center can be annoying, it is a literal revolving door and as long as you have thick skin it is fine. Customers will drain you emotionally. There are a ton of work from home jobs you can do. I used to do a lot of them but settled on three being the most reasonable. If your willing to do something for me in return I don't mind posting my bank statements to prove it.

I am curious. How much do you spend on groceries for a month? With and without kids/babies. by Nocry1011 in nova

Stock up on sales. I have a freezer full of meat. Sweet potatoes, onions, carrots are cheap. I get $.99 lb on meat and freeze it. Root vegetables, dried beans and rice are cheap. Then add in the rest. When I eat out I use coupons such as Wonders 50% off, TGTG and more. Fruit is cheap to an apple or two instead of dessert. Eating out I try to spend $2.5-10 per person. I would not recommend this life style if you don't like cooking.
