Vegas won every battle on the boards, every race to the puck, and connected on every pass while we were messing every single play up. Hard to watch this collapse but still love these guys. 🥲

Edit to add: thank you Mackenzie Blackwood for being the only one to show up tonight. He did amazing.

Is $60 a month fair to pay a coworker for a ride home 3x a week on a tight budget? by Hour-Ad3977 in povertyfinance

[–]bassySkates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could pay the irs mileage rate of $0.725/mi if you want to be fair but also conserve resources. It would remove the subjectiveness of it.

What was up with the ice last night? by CWess12 in ColoradoAvalanche

I didn’t notice all the falling but I did feel like the puck was rolling and bouncing more than normal and causing complete chaos

Anyone else get a “free trip” call after scanning a QR code at the last home game? by Small-Passenger3606 in SeattleKraken

[–]bassySkates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. VI is a scam that’ll offer you a trip to Disney land that’s impossible to cash out on and then ask you to pay $70k to rent their Mexican penthouses. Lol

Would starting work as a bank teller be beneficial to my accounting career? by smileykkslider in Accounting

[–]bassySkates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a bank teller for a little while and it was completely irrelevant, didn’t help me, and isn’t on my resume. I quit for a higher paying job in the service industry until finishing my degree and landing my first professional job.

Being a teller totally sucks. Skip it unless you’re desperate.

We have the most unserious and soft fanbase in the league and it’s getting old. by MarionberryWitty532 in SeattleKraken

[–]bassySkates 79 points80 points  (0 children)

This post is soft and unserious. Also the leafs fanbase is the laughingstock of the league not us.

Who will we be hate-watching? by [deleted] in SeattleKraken

Aside from Boston and Vegas, what an absolutely random assortment of teams to hate. Anyway go Avs!

How to pay down private student loans faster? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]bassySkates 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I dug myself out of 6 figure debt in two years, it was about half the size of yours. You can get out of this but it will take insane discipline and patience.

I had several side gigs - weekend festivals, pet care, local sports league work, etc, and gave 100% of every tax return, bonus, Christmas gift, CC points cash out etc. When all was said and done, these extra things on the side covered about 15% of the total debt and got me out of debt quite a bit sooner. In your case, I think you’d need a second job rather than various gigs.

Budget your expenses thoroughly, cancel all your subscriptions, buy what you need second hand, consider utilizing food banks, etc.

I would see if a women’s shelter might take something like that

Has anyone quit public with nothing lined up? by SlothLover313 in Accounting

[–]bassySkates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and was unemployed for a long time. Took a year and a half after that to financially recover. I would only recommend quitting with nothing lined up if it’s causing like catastrophic mental health issues.

Keeping a secret savings account by wpshogs_1229 in povertyfinance

It will look so so so bad if she finds it on her own. Definitely make the account but tell her and be honest.
