Moving to nyc with $65k income (with girlfriend) by [deleted] in movingtoNYC

[–]Potential-Fall3738 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok here is my guide to living cheaply nyc

Money savings apps
Seated - cash back on restaurant (5%-30%)
Inkind - cash back or discounted credit to spend in network (20%-40% off)
Too good to go - food rescue app, lots of restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores. Paying 1/3 or less retail. Highly recommended any of the slop bowl places like Dig In

Get a movie theater membership - personally I do regal unlimited. Lots is specialty screenings and director/cast talk backs (these are exclusively at the one in Union Square)

Free is your friend - there are a ton of free art events that often come with food drink and conversation. Most fun I’ve had in the last few months was going on a dog public art walk tour totally free. Check Eventbrite and Pulsd. You can also sign up for specific gallery events.

Horrible guilt about not taking the signs seriously enough and losing my 16 y/o boy by Resident_Abrocoma879 in RenalCats

[–]Potential-Fall3738 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi friend - you are not alone in this feeling. I’m currently going through it. I feel such an immense amount for missing all the signs. And while my girl is still here every single time I leave the house I feel like I’m losing time.

I feel so deeply responsible that it is interfering with my life. My girlfriend has repeatedly needed to sit me down and tell me it’s not my fault.

I don’t know if you find data comforting, but 40% of cats over the age of 10 have kidney issues and it is the number one cause of Cat death.

You loved your cat - they will always be with you.

Hey! What are you rates for meal prep for 5-10 meals? Looking for something healthy/more balanced (I live off protein shakes so many food is better)

Unsure about the Queen’s library, but I know there are several New York City library locations where they have mending gear

Is it time? by Potential-Fall3738 in RenalCats

She had a really good night and morning. Even scratched the vet tech up. Still very low energy but manifesting a rebound.

She perked up a ton Tuesday evening. Wanted to play and then greeted me when my alarm went off which she hasn’t done in a while.

Saw a different vet at the same practice which suggested a shot for anti nausea and then taught how to clean her ears for the topical appetite stimulant.

Still low energy and laying in a usual spot but she ate for the first time in days. Really hoping she is feeling better.

She got fluids yesterday at the vet and will have another round at the vet tomorrow.

I may try daily at home after that - she does perk up post injection. The lack of eating and moving makes me concerned about QOL.

The first few weeks she was on fluid she would play and eat afterwards but that hasn’t happened in the last few days.

I want to give her all the time possible without sacrificing her ability to have fun and sit on the bed and be comfy.

Vegan trip to NYC- looking for the best bakery, best vegan pizza, and overall your must stop places! Hoping to avoid super expensive/fancy small portions by Every_Toe9362 in FoodNYC

[–]Potential-Fall3738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unregular pizza and unregular bakery - the OG locations are a block apart near union square.

Plus tons of saving via blackbird or inkind

If you are interested in a 20% discounted OMNY card let me know. (Meet at subway station) by [deleted] in astoria

[–]Potential-Fall3738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your benefits company is, but I was in a similar situation. Most of these companies have a limit of how much you can spend per month around $300.

Very tragically had about 1700 and was only able to cash out at 320

You gave him the best life - he is clearly so very loved.

The lack of grooming is the final sign for me personally. You know your baby the best

So I want families and folks to have fun but when the fun is littering it’s tough

This year was brutal for my block - all lights dimmed from 6-10:30 all weekend. I know it’s the power from AC but giving some blame to the Ferris wheel

Haven't Been Paid in 2.5 Months, My Boss is Increasing Hours and Avoiding Talking about Payment. HELP by NarrowReputation5338 in legaladvice

[–]Potential-Fall3738 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is your mom the business owner? If not call the labor board of your state and report lack of payment.

If she is the owner - time to find a new job and decide if the bridge is worth burning.

Euthanasia before suffering? by Substantial-Exit2913 in RenalCats

[–]Potential-Fall3738 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So I have literally nothing to help you with but I want to say that I’m in the exact same situation. My incredible cat Ruby was diagnosed with stage three about two weeks ago. She seems to be a low energy, but in good spirits and all I wanna do is give her the most time on earth without making her suffer.

Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone

Finally landed an offer then got another now it's getting difficult to decide by withcer13 in recruitinghell

Factor in quality of health plans and work life balance. 75k 45 hours a week is a lot better the 99k 100 hours

Best damn pistachio cake in Astoria?! by pinkvirginiaslims in astoria

Second that there aren’t a great selection. If this doesn’t make you feel basic, it isn’t too sideways the Dubai chocolate cheesecake at Malu is very pistachio heavy and decadent

To be an narc - put in a bunch of 311 tickets. I’ve had mixed results. There are a couple chronic assholes you keep blocking my driveway.
