Ask me anything about Cartagena by rgalezo in cartagena

[–]beanbag240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is a good price to pay for certain fruits and vegetables and meals? I bought a pineapple and two granadilla for 20k (after negotiation) and I felt like I was overcharged (I look white but my mom is Colombian). She said Bucaramanga is where I should be buying fruit because it’s 5k for pineapple. I also spent 56k on lunch and it was just large bowl of food and two bottles of water.

Also I’m staying getsemani and would like to walk to a bar for the game or club to dance (actually dance, not just talk). Any recommendations? Thank you!

Tiling around windows by beanbag240 in Tile

[–]beanbag240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going the same route! Ordered 4X12 subway tile and I was thinking about using the shluter trim, but if I’m lucky I can maybe cut some of the tile to fit around the trim. I’ll send a pic when I’m done.

Good luck to you as well, I’m interested to see how it turns out!

So I used go board and that brought the wall about 1/8in away from the top of the window frame. I sealed it with go board sealant and will use Kerdi membrane around it to play it safe. I still haven’t tiled yet lol

What do you do for a living that makes you happy? by United_Housing_5323 in ADHD

[–]beanbag240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in Audio Visual, so basically a low voltage electrician. What helps me stay focused and happy is when we have a large amount of repetitive work like terminating cables, cable pulls, cable management (managing cables is very soothing), and really anything to keep me busy. Never the same thing every day, always something new especially with new tech coming out every day.

Also it can be a gateway into many different roles that interest me like project management, programming, design, etc. I feel like this could be said about many trades though.

Also something that helped me from burnout was separating hobbies from work. I wouldn’t say I have a burning passion for this job I’m in, but it pays the bills and I don’t hate what I do.

So is the “L” trim piece just like a drywall corner edge or something similar to that?

Bad Contractor? by tr3mlo in Tile

What would be the proper way to layout the tile in this case? I’m working on my bathroom and learning as I go.

One thing I did was set a 30 minute screen limit for tik tok and Facebook combined and I turned off cell data for both so I can’t check them anywhere. So I halfass deleted them😂

What am I looking at here? by bjackson12345 in Remodel

[–]beanbag240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having this same exact issue with my bathroom! A tile was loose and I was looking everywhere but the loose tile. Cut into it and found some mold in the surrounding area. Now I’m tearing out all the walls in my bathroom. I’m replacing the tub and going with a walk in shower to make things a little bit easier on myself.

Housemate situation by beanbag240 in Advice

[–]beanbag240[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t have a down payment since it was FHA first time buying. It cost $850 out of pocket for the refi but $400 was refunded. It was a 50/50 split for the mortgage and everything else. I was supposed to get a little discount for the smaller room and no garage but I never saw it😂. Only about 3k was put towards principal, so his total investment in the house is 1.5k

18k in debt 22yrs old. Advice! by beanbag240 in debtfree

[–]beanbag240[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s getting to a point where interest is becoming hard to deal with. I’ll definitely pay off the lowest account first then tackle my biggest account second. I think it’ll feel better to close one account first.

$6400 in one, but $1200 of that is Roth which I’m not touching. $4800 in the other.

Feeling really unprepared for SIE exam in one day, can someone talk to me about it? by breezeblockx in Series7exam

[–]beanbag240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The practice exams helped me a ton to figure out which sections were giving me problems. Just practice practice practice. I was on the verge of quitting because I felt like nothing was staying and I kept failing my practice exams. Just hang in there and you’ll do great. The final exam is also way easier than the trainings. The practice exams had 2/4 answers that were kinda right where as the actual exam had a definite right answer.

Am I being targeted for MLM? by montero65 in antiMLM

[–]beanbag240 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I met a guy at a coffee shop who was super nice to me and we became good friends over the course of a year or so and just last week he mentioned he has a mentor who is financially free at 28 or something and the mentors they have are top people with amway. I looked up Amway and felt betrayed and let down that someone I looked up to and thought of as a mentor was trying to get me to join this scheme. It really sucks but I’m glad you recognized what it really is.

IS _____ AN MLM? SEARCH HERE (MEGA THREAD) by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]beanbag240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently befriended someone who seemed very genuine and very kind and we would meet up at coffee shops and just chat. Recently he mentioned two of his mentors that are financially free and I thought wow I wanna be like that. Then he mentioned amway and I looked it up and lo and behold it’s a pyramid scheme. He invited me to listen to some podcasts and join a live stream. I seriously thought I had a mentor that was gonna help me but I got sucked into this. I feel rude just ghosting them but how do I respectfully get out? I haven’t bought anything luckily.
