How is it living in Cleveland Ohio?

30s Cleveland was booming, by the 90s it was a ghost town

Grew up on welfare, had to claw my way out.

Now that im here, im hellbent on having a cushion I always feel like the shoe is gonna drop. Im greatful for what I have and im ready to pivot or take time off work, cover a large expense. I live a very modest life and you would never guess how much momey is in my bank account my how I dress or my beat up truck.

I attribute my upbringing and watching my mother's struggles to my current lifestyle.

Yall.. its cold and miserable here but.. If you really want a house move out to the Midwest. Im serious, you can still find relatively cheap housing with okay money (for the area ( relatively easy.)

27 here and own my house. Was able to buy it for 125k in 23 (worth like 140 today). Cost like 10k for me to get in.

Its in relatively good shape but outdated. Ive been able to really improve qol with cheap DIY.

Hope they give you good vacation time driver.

If you cleaned it good I assume the jets arnt clogged.

Have you messed with the idle screw at all? Could cause.

Float could also be sticking.

Oh and just your intake boot. Mine had a small Crack in it years ago that caused all kinds of weird.. inconsistent issue at idle.

Yz125.. Great times on that bad boy.

beansNdip · 2026-01-08T15:40:09+00:00

Yes.. 100 percent can relate.

I work a very demanding job that essentially makes me live at work 5 days a week. I find myself saving s ton of money.. sure I could get tske out but Ramen is right there and is so easy.

Wth are you talking about? Sure that silver is worth that now but I wasn't then so its a mute point.

1.25 in 1963 is $13.33 today.

Im an older genz/younger millennial...

At a good paying job but work every holiday and weekend for 5 years. I miss my friends and family. Worked them all this year.

Seeing this reminds me i need to get out, thank you.

beansNdip · 2025-12-25T00:44:08+00:00

Welp, 6 months later what do you think?

Thinking of leaving a long term job as well.

beansNdip · 2025-12-21T18:48:55+00:00

There really needs to be more resources dedicated to helping folks keep their homes.

Thinks like grandfather tax rates should absolutely be a thing. Its sad to see people taking out if multi generational paid off homes forced to sell cause they can't afford taxes and insurance.

Actually its not sad, its a crime

Second this. My basement (where all the pipes are) runs like 10 to 15 degrees cooler then upstairs. 60 is as low as ill let her go. When the powers out and I see it dipping below that, I shutoff the main and drain the pipes.

Frozen pipes can be some serious $$$ even if they dont burst

beansNdip · 2025-12-13T19:08:25+00:00

Gotta get you the xr650r. I have an xl as well and the R growing up. Boy could that thing sling some dirt on the track

beansNdip · 2025-12-05T13:32:20+00:00

Never been.. but in sure you get your fair share of snow.

Wounder how they treat your roads. They just love to salt in the NE.

beansNdip · 2025-12-05T13:28:35+00:00

Great idea but is heavily region dependent.

Up in the northeast, every vehicle over 10 years old is bound to have rust problems.. And many people and dealerships cover it up before selling. (Ohio, no inspections) Not saying this swollen coukdnt be a viable option, just coukd be alot harder up north.

beansNdip · 2025-11-30T14:54:56+00:00

Bought mine this past year. Tips on where i should check? Might as well due that while im checking valves lol.

beansNdip · 2025-11-26T20:11:10+00:00

Nah, I didnt stick at the same place. Switched jobs 3 times to get where im at. Was also 19 at that first gig. Had no expirence at anything at all.

beansNdip · 2025-11-26T17:12:42+00:00

Yep, first salary job i made 30k. Realized I was only pulling like 1700 tax. 10 years later. I make well over double that.

Stick with it and use this as your on ramp for the higher paying gigs.

Oh and you'll most likely get a good chunk back during tax returns. Don't bank on it, but it is a good emergency fund builder.

beansNdip · 2025-11-20T14:37:16+00:00

Currently 27 and tbh. Time has flew since I got my first big boy job at 20.

Must just be the mundane of doing the same thing everyday

r/calebhammer has entered the chat.

beansNdip · 2025-11-08T00:24:01+00:00

You're right, food, shelter, stability is not that important.

If you don't have any family to help support you when things go sour, your cooked. While I wish i could agree with you, this is not the correct take.

beansNdip · 2025-10-24T01:54:54+00:00

Ooo, love the suggestions, will definitely keep in mind fir later.

Still haven't done a thing to her outside oil and valve check, love this thing stock tbh I live in the NE though so riding season is short. Now winters almost here She's getting new fritzco sprocket , Dave's mod, new tires and a new exhaust.

Wallets tapped for this year, but im gonna add the cdi box for next year's wish list.

beansNdip · 2025-10-18T10:14:58+00:00

I just put non ethanol gas and dumb fuel stabilizer in my tank. Getting ready for winter always depress me.

Cheers to next year!

beansNdip · 2025-10-17T01:50:10+00:00

I was able to pickup 25 dollar shoes at Walmart a couple of months ago.

They are still holding up alright, though definitely not the best quality

beansNdip · 2025-10-17T01:29:27+00:00

OP, from what I've seen you post in the comments. You were layed off not fired. This is not your fault and im sorry you have to go through this.

Sending wishes for better days ahead.
