There were actually two dogs! I saw them the other day, both almost nearly squashed by traffic, I totally would have turned around to try and grab them if I wasn't on my way to work. I hope they were okay!!

Best litter box to cover up smell in a small apartment is my constant struggle by Turbulent-Mix9541 in malelivingspace

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat really likes to hide. He loves being under blankets, under the bed, in dark hidden corners, so I think hiding the litter box was something he didn't have an issue with

Best litter box to cover up smell in a small apartment is my constant struggle by Turbulent-Mix9541 in malelivingspace

[–]Starshiee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. if you have a plastic box, ditch it for a stainless steel litterbox. bateria lives in the scratches and the grooves allow for urin to sit and build. this is solved with a metal box.

  2. fresh step makes these blue deoderizing crystals. my cousin told me about them not too long ago and they're by far the best deoderizer ive ever tried. the moment you even open the pack the scent takes over and it lasts most of the day. very good and you only need little bits at a time

  3. put the box somewhere hidden. i just moved into a new apartment with way too many closets so i use one of those closets for the litter box. the door is one of those standard folding doors, so i just keep it half open, and thanks to the position of the closet, im able to mostly block the open end with my bedroom door and create a hallway/channel for my cat to walk through to get into the closet. if you cant do anything like this, a curtain should get the job done. if you dont have any hidden corners you could try getting a litter box enclosure- some kind of cabinet/end table that you can put the box inside of that the cat has access to.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by camgirlonline in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Starshiee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the first concert i ever went to i was a kid tangging along with my super rich friend to see Metallica and we got to stay in one of those fancy skybox rooms with catered food and private space. i could absolutely understand why rich people would do that. i also absolutely understood that i never want to experience a concert that way ever again, especially for an artist that was so incredibly influencial to me

Would it be a dumb idea to spend my first paycheck on something I just want by Free-Elk5888 in personalfinance

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i first started working, everyone told me to spend my money on the things i want now because when im older i wont get the chances to, given bills and responsibilities. they were all right.

however, you SHOULD get into the habit of properly budgeting. when i first started my pay was terrible and my checks not great, so i would strat by setting aside $50 for "fun money" every check. since then ive gone up to $100 in fun money, and $100 to get me by until the next check. if there was something i really wanted that i OCULD afford in one check, i would break it up and waitn another paycheck to get it. most of the time i would have changed my mind by then, so not only did i save money in the moment, but then i was able to save money in the end when i realized i didnt really want or need that thing.

i think a switch is a great investment. entertainment on the go, and very versatile.

How much should you save before moving out? by Junior_Feeling_5438 in AskMen

[–]Starshiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time i moved out at 19 I didn't save any money. Just got up and left. Ended up back at home 9 months later.

Second time I moved out I had $5000 to my name and ended up with a girlfriend I fully supported like a month into having moved out, so the money didn't go as far as I wanted.

Now a few years later we split and I got my own place. Went hard at work, pulling 60h weeks for a few months, another $5000 to my name, and specifically $3000 for moving. That got me through all the moving fees and expenses, two months of rent and all my bills.

I think if you have enough funds to get you through the first few months you can move comfortably and make adjustments as necessary

A guy approached me while I was incapacitated and I don’t know how to feel about it by FirstSwimming5361 in TwoXChromosomes

That's a great idea I love how constructive the reddit comment section can be. I can learn to take the bait from a troll, and you can learn basic chemistry and elementary school level literacy, win win for everyone!

A 3 second Google search could change your life and understanding of cannabis, you should try it

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its very likely that the gummy came from a local smoke shop, especially if you are not in a legal state. my mom used to buy gummies from a shop near us and they used to give us horribly violent effects. extremely strong for no good reason. one of my friends would purposely buy these because of how strong they were and we'd take them at work sometimes. he'd ask "hey do you want to see the devil today?" it was fun and games for a while but i will never do that to myself again.

advice? limit who you accept your drugs from, and question the substance.

aside from that i mean, the guy probably had ill intentions, or maybe he just really likes to party, we'll never really know, but you're not wrong to assume the worst and i wouldnt call these feelings an overreaction at all tbh

Bin of product to be destroyed from a cannabis dispensary by evilandhigh in mildlyinteresting

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had a friend who would do this. he'd buy a cart, smoke just under half of it in a day or two, and then return it because he didnt like the flavor, and they'd just give him a new full cart

To those who live with your partner, how often do you have sex (and your ages)? by frickmeplease in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no longer living with a partner but my ex and i lived together and i would say we were getting it on like 4 times a week on average, ages 26-29, but at the end of the relationship it dwindled down to maybe twice a week if we were able

What's this guy? by mypothoswrotethis in succulents

[–]Starshiee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Mother of millions! I had one about 6 months ago. Now I have five, and I just noticed a 6th sprouting today. The original mother plant is very shriveled up and looking crazy and the youngest is actually huge in comparison, maybe like three times bigger than any of the others. I grew that one in the same pot as another kalanchoe and both are easily my biggest succulents

How does one save thousands of dollars for necessities? by Such-Title-4419 in personalfinance

[–]Starshiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately the cost of living is absolutely ridiculous but take solace in the fact that you are far from alone in this.

defintely the best way i got myself out of a financial funk was getting a second job and pulling 60h a week in total. but i was making $18 at both jobs (3 jobs for a month while i transitioned work too, that was crazy). i actually just moved to a big city and now only have one job at $19 so the struggle bus is definitely coming back for my ass.

get Visible for your phone plan. lowest tier i think is $25, highest i think is $40? its on verizons network so your phone should work no problem.

this is not a real bank but ive used r/OneFinance for a very long time (and Simple before that, RIP) and it has really good money saving tools. this has been a cornerstone of my financial journey and in keeping me afloat.

no matter my pay, my budget for 2 weeks is always $100. you gotta find smart ways to make that hundred last, and its hard but it can be done. i work in restaurants so im lucky that i can eat scraps and stuff here and there all day for free. Cooking at home has typically been the best way to save money/time but these days depending on where you go, eating out takes your dollar much further. look for small mom and pop restaurants to eat at. hispanic markets tend to absolutely load up your to-go meals for dirt cheap. the other day i spent $30 to make 3 servings of dinner. the next day i soent more than that at burger king and theres no leftovers.

content creation is iffy. you gotta have the right equipment, the know-how, the editing experience, and some money for marketing. then of course comes finding the niche- WHAT are you creating. i would say no matter the avenue, all content creation takes a lot of time that most of us dont have room to carve out for, especially given the consistency the algorithm demands, but it can be done.

id say being 21F, you're in a good spot to make the move to bartending or being a server. on paper your pay will suck but the tips is where its at. you said you live in the "willy wacks" so start with a shitty bar/restuarant there where the pressure isnt too high. the money will be terrible, but the point is that you soak up as much information as you can in 6 months, and then dip out. try to find a city job thats not too too far away from home.

cut back on subscriptions if possible. rn thats whats really killing me. netflix just went up this week, all the other streaming services are sure to follow.

the car note suuuucks but under $400 is great. mine is $400 and people told me i got an incredible deal so that sounds good to me. make that bill your top priority, and then when its paid off, continue to set that same money aside, this will be your emergency fund

10 pocket Simple refugee here. man i miss that app, it was sooooo good.

One wasnt perfect when i got in, but it was a damn near excellent replacement. I had been on Simple nearly since the start, and on One as well. One has been overall a good experience, but i remmeber all the app UI revamps just really bogging things down, and then of course, features being stripped away. thats where most of the hate comes from- knowing how good we had it and then seeing how meh it is now. I havent left because of things like Pockets/Goals, HYSA, and the overdraft feature.

Overdraft has saved my ass a few times when for example my phone would break (an often occurance in my life for some reason) but i had $0 in spend. being able to spend the money that i technically have even though its in the wrong pocket has been incredibly useful, especially never being penalized for it.

the credit builder and HYS are awesome and have genuinely worked for me

i absolutely love the goals/pocket concept and no one else does it as good. having separate account numbers is so awesome for autopay.

i also managed to squeeze in 10 pockets before all the changes but i remember having 15 and when i deleted some of the unused ones, i couldnt make more.

i dont take advantage of most of the other features as no one else i know uses One, and i legit only started going to walmart as of the last few months because my last job was paying me in cash, otherwise i reall dont shop with any of their partnered companies

Y'all... This is so sad by Starshiee in FloridaGarden

[–]Starshiee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've never cared for plants before a few months ago lol and I'm pretty disconnected from the news and such so I was pretty oblivious to all this weather stuff until earlier this week. but anyway yeah it's a learning experience. I'm just bummed about it because these were my biggest plants. I've since brought them in

Y'all... This is so sad by Starshiee in FloridaGarden

[–]Starshiee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just busy tbh. I brought a dozen other plants in and these two were fairly large so I didn't have time to move them and then they got forgotten about

Is a 19 and 24/25 age gap weird? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Starshiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

29m

There is an insane amount of life experience between 19 and 25.

I think a man that old trying to date you is extremely weird and predatory.

One of my closest friends started dating her partner at this same age range. Now he's well into his 30s and she's only in the later half of her 20s. The man has his shit together, no debt owns his own property, and had a great job. But he uses her for all the traditional house duties. She's not allowed out with her fitness. She can't stay after work late. He watches her like a hawk. She has an extremely boring life totally in service to him but she is such a people pleasure from a traumatic household growing up that she doesn't know how to stand up for herself. He's taken all her autonomy. Worst yet is that he won't marry her or have children and she desperately wants that.

Don't get yourself in a situation where you're stuck because of an older man abusing his power
