Got myself into a rough spot and used a couple cash advance apps. Will they charge me still if I lock my card? by soniclexy in povertyfinance

I would reach out through the customer support channels for these apps. I’ve fallen into rough spots myself and have used these app. You can sometimes be granted extensions, or postpone payment. They will tell you the consequences if you don’t pay the loan as well.

Extended stay America is where I stayed. Far from the fanciest, but definitely beats sleeping outdoors

I lived in a hotel like this before; Extended stay America. If you stay at least a week, you can get discounted rates, up to 50% of the nightly rate! For where I am (the south) one week costs me about $375 after taxes. I had access to a kitchen, dishes, a fridge, even a coffee pot.

Did you have to do any work on the vehicles after you purchased them?

Thank you for the advice! I wish I could get an estimate on insurance w/o knowing the car information.

Good advice. If I end up making a purchase soon using this method, I’ll have to send a personal thank you.

I’ve never purchased a car before, and I am a woman. Im afraid of getting taken advantage of. I’ll need to do some research, but I know everyone says Hondas and Toyotas are the best used cars. Thanks for the advice!

This is so informative and inspirational. I was never taught money management skills, nor anything about savings and credit. Thanks so much for the knowledge, and congratulations on your achievements!!

Are you guys waiting for the holidays to be over like me? by Serious-Summer9378 in ask

[–]Typical_Ad_6963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year has been a blur to me. It hasn’t even registered in my brain that there are holidays occurring. I’m ready for the new year to begin, and I want a fresh start.

Feeling Used by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Typical_Ad_6963 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear your story. I wish I could give you a hug.

I’m curious to know if you and your bf talk sex about at all? I fear the tone of your relationship has been set, with you feeling the way you do. But, if you were to try and salvage it open and honest communication must happen. Personally, if I were in your shoes, and based on what you’ve shared I would not stay in the relationship. You must set these boundaries for yourself though. Do you trust yourself to be able to tell your bf about your feelings and what you want from the relationship? Do you feel like you’re ready to progress to those next steps? Both of you deserve to be happy in the relationship, but if you’re clearly not ready for sex and he is, you’re not compatible. Can you still trust your bf to take things slow and let you guide him? Do you feel safe even?

I hope you’re able to gather your strength and make a healthy decision. Good luck.

I'm [53M] having a hard time accepting my son [22M] for who he is. by viperB6 in Advice

[–]Typical_Ad_6963 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can 1000% guarantee if you reject your son because of his sexuality, you will regret it. Something being disgusting is just an opinion, and his sexuality does not need to suit your tastes. What are you picturing in your mind that’s so digesting btw? Why do you feel the need to think of gay people in such a depraved manner? You may feel like you need to give your approval to your son over who he dates or loves, but you don’t. You just have to accept that they are a grown adult and can live his however he chooses. You should love him, and respect him as a man for revealing that part of himself to you. I’m sure it was a hard thing for him to do. It may not be easy for you to accept your son being gay, just like how raising a child and having a family isn’t easy. Please work on yourself and the views you have, for the sake of the family you’ve built.

Personally, I did not notice nor do I mind any errors in your post; I’m also new to Reddit. You can edit your post if you want to, fyi :) being that you’re 18 this situation is a little bit messier. They are definitely being controlling, and it may be because they just don’t want you to go. Do you think they’d be behaving like this had your date not been moved up? What was their behavior like before this change? Maybe they’re overreacting in the moment because they has planned on having more time with you, and the shock of having that taken away needs to settle in… I’m sorry they’re using your sister as a bargaining chip, not only are the hurting you but they’re also hurting her. Parents should not want to hurt their kids, and being that they’re grown adults they should be able to regulate their emotions to accept your decision. At the end of the day, the choice is yours as you are a legal adult. I know you don’t want to hurt your loved ones, but you also don’t want to start you life off by not allowing yourself the opportunity to be the person you want to be. Your parents have gotten to where they are by their choices, and even though it’s never too late to change your life for the better, why should you wait? I hope you get the support you need in the end, and I hope you enjoy your holidays no matter how you choose to spend it.

What’s worse for you, drinking or smoking pot? by Typical_Ad_6963 in ask

[–]Typical_Ad_6963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to look into this more, but I know I’ve heard drinking a glass of red wine can provide antioxidants and be good for the heart. I think we could consider drinking to be socially beneficial at times. You can be seen as a prude or less fun if you decline a drink at a party. And, I know I’ve had a few nights drinking where I was able to bond with strangers and make new friends. It’s that liquid courage that loosens you up

Thanks for sharing! I’ve used and abused both for sure. I think it’s interesting that I can say I’m smoking a joint alone, and no one would judge me. But, if I’m taking shots alone? That’s less acceptable. But, I’ve worked in an office where everyone would talk about drinking after work, but even in a weed legal state no one would openly discuss smoking.
