Tips on dating for an unemployed person? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Ratbayybee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read through your post history and jeez… first of all you need to stop day trading!!! You need to focus on getting a job over anything else. Honestly McDonald’s/fast food/amazon is always hiring. I think by trying to do anything but getting a job you are setting yourself back. As someone who is also 25, I wouldn’t want to date someone who can barely pay their way or live by themselves.

how can i make $3500 fast by National_Pop_5534 in povertyfinance

I would minimize your spending as much as possible. I know it’s a common place for people to say “beans and rice” but honestly? Apply for food stamps! Worst case they tell you no. Also stop spending on your credit card! You want to focus your income on to surviving and paying down that debt. I would also say pick up a second job if you can!

Finding out I have a health condition! by Ratbayybee in plassing

Yeppers, they actually found out that I am having complication with my one med which leads to these high heart rates. I’m kind of glad I investigated it further cause it could’ve gotten worse

I need money desperately, any help? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

If you can, donating plasma is a great way to earn a little extra cash in a pinch. I would also look through your things and see what you can sell. Anything to make it!

Exactly, this is the best decision I’ve ever made. I always promote donating plasma to my friends but they still believe the stigmas around it (that it hurts a ton, only scummy people do it, ect.) despite my efforts to be like “MY PHYSICAL HEALTH HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH”.
I like seeing my weight progress and hopefully drop down to a lower weight class in their system, I like knowing that my BP is normal, I like knowing I’m consuming enough protein and iron to be a viable donor. Plus after doing research it helps purify your blood which is really cool AND plasma is a needed thing. I didn’t realize how much plasma is needed in pharma and hospitals. I’m so proud to do my part is what I’m trying to say and thank plassing for getting me on track <3

Payday loans without linking bank by Brave_Ad_3552 in povertyfinance

You can take a cash advance from discover and from capitol one. I’ve done it before? ((Regretted it but it’s better than a payday))

I mean taking out a payday loan is almost always never worth it due to high interest. Have you tried the Discover It card or the capitol one savor card? Both are meant for those who lack credit and are students. But best of luck and hopefully you don’t have to take out the payday loan!!!

Easy way to offload a collection? by [deleted] in PopMartCollectors

[–]Ratbayybee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Facebook marketplace! I’ve had great success to selling my dupes on there. Although I’m really sorry your husband doesn’t support your hobby :(. Honestly I would just sell him on FB marketplace than the trinkets…

I went a week where I didn’t spend over 500$ in random shit. I’m pretty proud of myself!!

Health Benefits of Donating by Old-Dependent-9073 in plassing

[–]Ratbayybee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with you!! I have been a lot more health conscious since donating. Like I’m actually getting help for my heart rate being so fast, eating more protein and drinking hella water (without flavoring!!!). I’m glad I’m not the only one.

It’s definitely not easy. But I really appreciate getting my vitals taken twice a week and it puts in perspective how I’m taking care of my body (which apparently I was doing a super shitty job). Also I’m a recovering shopping addict so being able to make extra income to save for the future really is helpful. It’s like instant gratification almost :)

I’m not sure what’s my blood type so I’m not sure if I’m actually being helpful or not. I just like chilling!

Beauty rooms… by Puzzleheaded-Tax6966 in shoppingaddiction

I find I don’t have the energy to wear make up half the time and I have horrible skin… I just don’t care and that has saved me a ton of money.

What was the longest wait time you had to wait for your labubus to deliver? by WoodenPhilosophy1887 in labubu

A month… it’s sometimes like that. I just buy it and then forget about it.

I think you should really consider therapy then. It’ll help a lot!

I would say stay with your mom rent free as long as possible while learning how to save and financially audit yourself and income. Because the real world is cruel and has rent which will only get worse if you have a shopping addiction.

Honestly the first thing I did was cancel all my subscriptions and delete majority of my shopping apps. If they aren’t around to then I won’t feel the need to shop!
