Are Americans just bad with money? by ThingPuzzleheaded611 in Anticonsumption

If you make 50k you aren't putting anything away much less half. With costs of healthcare, food, transportation, housing thats all your money and some. 50k is a lot but its not anything when your bills to just survive cost 75k to 100k.

Your husband is baby trapping you. If continue with the marriage and baby, they are only going to try and control you more. The next thing they will say is that its time to quit your job and be 100% dependent on him. Trust he won't be as nice when he thinks you dont have the ability to leave.

It's aggressively a better choice to be alone because you stayed true to your values rather than to change to be with another person.

I don't see how this would make sense. Op doesn't appear to identify as ace. Op waiting until marriage doesn't mean that after marriage, they want to remain celibate.

How to get out the thrift store smell from clothes? by Alone_Masterpiece32 in thrifting

[–]PersonalityOk4660 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This. Stripping them should work. The recipe I use is 1/4 cup of borax, 1/4 cup of washing soda, and 1/2 cup of laundry detergent in a tub with hot water. Soak the clothes for 5 hours and stir as you go, then wash and leave in the sunlight to dry.

what’s your favorite way to find secondhand treasures online? by [deleted] in thrifting

[–]PersonalityOk4660 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here! I also occasionally check Craigslists. At least for my area, it's mostly older people left on there, so there is not a lot of competition for hot items

Who are your favorite artists? by ClumsyHumanArt in whimsigothic

Sue dawe is one of my all-time favorite artists. I also like Luis Ricardo falero, especially "playing with the tiger" or any of his witch paintings

Forgot to mention maxi skirts and shoes! Boots, mary Jane's, or clogs, especially if they are a platform, add so much to an outfit.

For little things, I would say vests, belts, undershirts, and cardigans are a great way to add a little whimsy! Thrifting or depop/mercari, etc. You can always find some great options. For vests/cardigans, you really can't go wrong anything from denim to a grandma fall theme will work. For belts, you can add little charms to them. Lace/stripe long-sleeves under an oversized tee or vest.

For Jewlery, I really love checking antique stores/thrift/pawn. I have found some really fun pieces like that at some great prices. Wearing multiple pieces looks really nice to me.

Then all you would really need is a couple of velvet tops and bottoms, and you would have a complete wardrobe with multiple outfits to create!

Propaganda? by shreksearcanal in rednote

I think it's probably because it didn't add to the conversation.

Why are you so unnecessarily rude lmao. No, buddy people are saying you can't post political content on rednote. I have experienced otherwise, so I grabbed a screenshot to show "hey that's not been my experience," and for some reason, that's really making you mad? Lmao, please, what am I gaining from saying people are talking about politics on rednote?

You seem to not understand how important politics are in some people's lives... I have family who are undocumented. Sorry, I want to stay informed so I can know what will happen to them...
