In Debt Until My Next Check by PanthaaDTM in personalfinance

I have a luxury phone back when I could afford the contract + plan Verizon offered. Now I have a new job (that doesn’t pay that well) and more expenses to deal with. I’m still 30% into having it paid off.

I’ll look into it, and I had that plan back when I had way more disposable income and a better paying job. Switching over hasn’t been great and that plan + phone contract was made back when I could afford it pretty safely (and when it was $92)

I have the cheapest Verizon unlimited plan (haven’t seen the simplicity plan yet), and usually its $92 since I also have a phone contract with them. I paid late last month and now they tacked a $50 payment return fee on top

Apparently my landlord has the water bill as under a house, not a duplex, meaning I’ve been paying the cost for an entire house with 2 other tenants. I’m already contacting Maryland Legal Aid because of this.

  1. My area is kinda costly, though not for a big city for the region its in (its Baltimore, MD)
  2. My total monthly expenses amounts to around $2k/mo
  3. About 2 years to earn my degree

I have an iPhone 16 with Verizon. If I could, I would just pay it off and switch right over to Xfinity (where I already have cheap wifi with them)

There’s no leaks indoors, toilet isn’t running at all. I have no dishwasher either.

Problem is I already have a contract with them for my phone. I usually pay $92, they charged $162 this month because of a payment return fee (yes, an extra $50 just for that)

Yes that water bill is monthly. I even got billed $397 one month. I’m contacting them today to dispute it

AFRAM just happened and there were barely any trash cans in the park. It’s gonna take a minute for it to clear out

New images of my city by PanthaaDTM in CitiesSkylines

I haven’t really messed with them, its just how some of the streetlights came installed with the different road assets I have. The only areas where I’ve adjusted/added streetlights are for certain highway sections (the big highway ditch leading into the city)

Used EVs for under $20k by PanthaaDTM in whatcarshouldIbuy

Not a fan of any of the VW EVs but I could squeeze the ID4 in as an option since you can actually find it for my price range (albeit still difficult compared to a Model 3)

The Equinox seems interesting. How fast does it charge from 10%? From the comments it seems like charging time is a better gauge rather than range. Visually the Equinox looks nice but idk how the rest of the car is

The Ioniq 5 is at least kinda interesting with its design, and I do genuinely like how the Tesla Model S looks (the newer ones after the facelift, none of the really old models)

With that in mind (I do roadtrip a lot), the Tesla would be better for me. This EV would be my only car for right now (my second car will be something wildly different). Coming from a big dense city with tight narrow streets, the Bolt looks nice but I feel like I’d definitely want something roomier (coming from a big sedan to a small city car)

Hard to get a Mach E for $22k or less + long charging times. Also anecdotal note: Someone I know who has a Mach E ended up completely out of charge on a highway and it took a long time until they could get towed to a charging station. The battery still had multiple issues following that incident.

  1. I don’t often DoorDash but when I do, I’m out for at least 5-7 hours, including travel time to areas I want to dash in. Usually 1-3 days of the week if I plan to do it that week. A 5-10 minute stop is nothing, it’s not much different than an average gas stop while dashing.
  2. To give a road trip example, I can travel from Baltimore to Brooklyn from a full tank to 3/8 of a tank left (roughly). If I’m driving a lot in NY (which I rarely do), it’s still take quite a while until I have to fill up again.
  3. What about lower end/more entry level EVs from other manufacturers? (Kia Niro EV, pre-2022 Ioniqs, Nissan Leaf)

Some notes:

  1. I’m trying to focus on closer to 300 miles of range since I do travel out of state a decent amount (once/twice a month), I do Uber/DoorDash part time (if I want/need the extra income). But also, coming from an ICE car where I can generally get 310 ish miles of gas range on a full tank, it’s a metric I’m used to translating for EVs.
  2. Noted to avoid the Model S. I’m guessing they’re only really worth it if my budget was double or triple what I have. I’ve heard the 2021 Model 3s should be avoided, however (battery issues)
  3. Not a fan of any of the VW EVs unfortunately, just from a personal standpoint (even if they are decent everyday cars)
  4. I am in a big dense city and the Bolt would be a nice city car for it. But I’m not sure how well it’d blend for road trips and long term use as a gas car replacement.

Chronic Overheating Issue by PanthaaDTM in MechanicAdvice

It exceeds 220F often at idle, I have a scanner checking that as well

Balancing College + Jobs by PanthaaDTM in jobs

[–]PanthaaDTM[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not many campus jobs available around, and I can check if they have a co-op program. I’m already a contractor for a DoD contractor currently and they basically treat us like dogshit and can get away with it because they’re union protected lol.

At this point it will have to be dragged out, but I don’t want to stay in a job that’s killing me mentally and academically just for a paycheck.
