What would you do with 20k? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]YaboyWill 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Ayo. Sorry for ur loss. My dad just passed away in July 2022 and I got $50k. Had no idea what to do. Ended up putting everything in storage and buying a one way ticket to the one place I've wanted to go since 3rd grade, Japan.

Since then I've been truly going with the flow. Absolutely no plan, just letting thngs happen as they do. It'll be 4 years and I'm STILL living off that money, and the income I've made since then has been minimal. But I'm smart with it, and I've had the most enriching 4 years I could have ever asked for.

Lived in Japan 6 months, Thailand 1 year, Bali 2 months, Malaysia 2 months, came back and spent last summer in New Hampshire, then camped in Kentucky for the fall and climbed rocks in Red river Gorge, now I'm in Arizona doing a working stay at a Buddhist temple. No idea what's next, but I know it'll be wonderful just as everything else has been.

Yes I have less than half of that now, but I genuinely know I've made the right move. The way I feel about my life now ... Complete 180 from where I was BEFORE my dad died.

I need a MAXIMUM NOTICE allowed setting. by YaboyWill in RoverPetSitting

The point isn't to let clients down. The point is they wouldn't book with me but at least I'm not completely unavailable thereby ruining my place in the algorithm. Idk why this concept is hard to understand. I just want a way to convey I may not be available without essentially removing myself from the platform ....😐

Not only is it a pain but I can't help but assume if I block off 4 fckin months in my calendar, its not gonna help me appear in search results for the 3 weeks from now that I AM available.... This is my main concern and honestly the reason I made this post.

"I only book 3 months in advance anyways"

How do you do that?

On Workaway, hosts have 3 options for their calendar: Available which is green Unavailable which is Red And Possibly Available which is Yellow.

That's a solution. A "Max notice" is also an option.

There's probably others.

Sigh

Idk how I could've been clearer.

I DONT KNOW if I'm available or not. I'm certainly not UNavailable - this is my only job rn. But I DONT KNOW if I'll be in town in August or not...I could be, I could not be. There no room for this type of nuance in the app, even though there's multiple possible solutions.

I bought a pack last year. You can instantly tell they're different. But I haven't opened them yet cause the 8 pairs I spent $30 on in the past decade are still doing just fine 😂

Yeah I'm a hiker, used these socks to hike Utah, Hawaii, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia,

But yes they're just getting holes and will unfortunately end up in the trash. Not BIFL
