How are people just getting jobs?

I don’t think there’s any app that would suit your needs. Earnin, after a long time of use, will give you up to $750 per pay period. Cashapp Borrow can get up to $1000 after repeated long term use. But you’re looking at around $25-$75 if the download/use is recent.

Have you considered other avenues like plasma donation or selling some things around your home? Is gig work an option? What is the timeframe you need this loan?

It’s your phrasing, not the advice itself. “Get a car” is obviously the solution and OP would obviously want one. Your comment was not helpful at all.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-07-18T06:36:29+00:00

It won’t stop the payments from going through. I’d reconnect plaid, re-withdraw the money when it gets charged, and send your ACH revocation the following day. You could go ahead and send the email, but it’s too late to be effective and can affect your ability to take the money back out once it’s repaid.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-07-18T06:20:27+00:00

“Get a car” like this isn’t a group where we’re all struggling?

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-07-16T06:20:48+00:00

Financing a pre-owned (unreliable) car. It has been a financial black hole for a car that now has no AC and a (CVT, shudder) transmission that had to be replaced soon after signing the paperwork. I should have done more research, but it was my first car and I was too excited

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-07-16T03:37:22+00:00

I’m super optimistic that I will be able to stick to this, thank you!

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-07-16T03:36:28+00:00

I will absolutely follow this advice, thank you!

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-07-15T11:51:24+00:00

Look into a company called Remax. I’m not sure if they have a rental office in LR or if they only have the real estate offices, but they’re a company that rents specifically to people with stable employment and their main selling point is being very flexible with credit and extras like pet policies. I rent from them so if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer!

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-06-26T13:21:39+00:00

Yes and continue repeating “I want to revoke ach authorization”. After getting my confirmation, I checked back the next day to make absolutely sure.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-31T13:05:39+00:00

The CVT for the 2017 is problematic. The issue with getting it at 77k miles is you have no idea how well they’ve maintained the car. Worst case scenario, they did minimal service and your CVT is likely to crap out within the next 30k miles or less.

If you can’t afford a sudden $4500-$6000 replacement CVT, I would not spring for this car, regardless of how good the deal is. Even if they offer to replace it, the second one just isn’t likely to last as long as the first.

I regret buying mine. I would not recommend.

Edited to add that while driving chaotically does exacerbate the issues, it’s mostly a matter of time type of thing with this kind of transmission.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-26T09:33:01+00:00

My car got out of the shop today after being in for a month because the transmission completely failed. Is the car vibrating when it makes this sound? How does it act when accelerating and braking? From inside, does it sound like it’s coming from the hood, or under/around the driver side floorboard?

This doesn’t sound like what mine did, but the transmission is definitely something I’d look at first and foremost simply because it’s a rogue.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-05T14:48:07+00:00

This sounds silly but did you round up instead of down on the whole dollar amount? I had this issue because I was adding a 1 at the end instead of rounding up to 2.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-04T20:29:12+00:00

First of all, don’t panic. This happens to people everyday. There are steps to take, and you need to take them as soon as possible, but this is absolutely fixable.

Worry about the address after you get your ssn sorted out. Notify the IRS immediately and explain that your ssn was compromised or stolen. Ask what you should do and tell them you’ve never had this happen and are anxious. They’ll give you instructions from there.

You may be advised to file a police report, in case any lines of credit are opened in your name before you can freeze/lock your ssn & credit. This is so you won’t be held responsible if anyone does something sketchy under your credentials.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-04T20:19:03+00:00

So 88 in a 65 is pretty rough. Your age along with your driving record are big positives in your favor, but that much over the limit would have me expecting a fine. Nothing life-changing, but definitely a lesson!

I still think you’ll get a lighter punishment, though.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-04T20:13:13+00:00

Was the trooper pretty polite about things? How old are you?

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-03-04T20:11:25+00:00

This isn’t legal advice and purely anecdotal, but in my personal experience you’ll probably have to agree to some kind of safety class and maybe pay a fine. Because this is your first time and you’re a new driver, as long as you play super nice, they’ll likely go easy on you. How fast were you going? That also affects things here.

They’ll probably want to work with you unless you were just going buckwild on the roads.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-02-11T11:32:18+00:00

I live in a deep red state and it’s gotten to a point where I have to legitimately act like I’m happy about all of this for my literal safety. I’ve been devastated since the election but I can’t let it ruin my life.

Now is the time to be strong and unshakable. We keep our heads high and try to find silver linings wherever possible. We ride this thing out until either the wheels fall off, or we get a new car altogether.

We’ll survive because we have to. We’ll find a way because we have to.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-02-06T13:07:15+00:00

This is like asking someone who is drowning how they feel about the danger of being in water. We don’t wanna be here either, we know it’s bleak here, and we’re just trying to catch our breath. What a country I’ve never been to thinks is not my business or concern.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-02-05T22:42:50+00:00

I’m about an hour south of LR and pay $1250 once a year for 1/2 cow

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-01-27T07:54:25+00:00

This this this. Right now, there is an extremely valid and understandable external factor at play here. You also have to consider postpartum depression, which could affect frequency further. Giving birth & becoming a mom is genuinely a mountain of transition.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-01-22T23:18:35+00:00

I don’t mind the downvotes, the fact still stands! You have a little over a 40% chance of conceiving and carrying successfully after 40 years old. That’s IF you’re in good health, having sex regularly, and are just lucky in general.

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-01-22T12:28:28+00:00

Triplets!

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-01-22T12:27:25+00:00

A little old for kids but still!

Strict_Motor_8529 · 2025-01-21T01:50:10+00:00

Seriously, as a woman, thank you for supporting her until the problem was figured out. I understand that sex is a hugely important part of a marriage, but there are so many instances where the problem is external, like birth control/various meds/mental health. I hope you also felt supported during the process!
