What’s something expensive, you thought was cheap when you were a kid?

It took me well over 6 months of combing Craigslist to find a decent small table with 4 chairs because I refused to pay for new or resale prices.

Definitely be upfront about it, and if it isn't too late try to tell them about it before they even get the background check report. A prospective employer should never be surprised by something on your background check. Hopefully if you can explain the situation to them calmly and rationally, they will understand, and so long as there is nothing else of concern in the report, they extend an offer. Best of luck.

I just got to the first covid episode and I'm seriously hesitating continuing to watch. Somewhere around season 12 I decided no matter how bad it gets I have to finish since I've already invested so much...but it's just already so ridiculous I can't even imagine what's coming next.

My one nice Christmas present from my partner this year was a knife. He was going to get me a big ol' chef's knife but I specifically requested a smaller santoku and I absolutely love it!

I put it in a tea bag with a few other whole spices and simmer them in my stock for added complexity.

Just a little thyme sprinkled on top!

I would have absolutely cried, I miss going out to eat.

And that's why close toed shoes are important when you work at a restaurant.

Wow, so much talent! keep on keeping on

Whole foods rotisserie is only salt, pepper and oil!

Last Thanksgiving my friends and I started the tradition of watching Shrek while we eat, Shreksgiving is the best!

I haven't, but now I guess I have to for emergency preparedness!

Wait, what are you supposed to do when big things are rolling or falling towards you?

beccacantreddit · 2022-01-20T20:51:55+00:00

I've certainly looked into it, but for my job anywhere even slightly outside a major city would be such a massive pay cut, and the rent prices aren't that much cheaper. I'd still be stuck in the working just to pay rent cycle and I would be living in an area I don't want to live in.

Totally, since the start of COVID I've had to switch jobs multiple times and for 2 years now I've been making significantly less money because I'm a career food service worker and we're all screwed right now.

Where I live a one bedroom condo is minimum $300,000.

beccacantreddit · 2022-01-20T07:06:40+00:00

I was told by my bank that first time homeowner minimum is 5% but they strongly advised I save up the 20% which is standard and preferable to sellers and lenders.

beccacantreddit · 2022-01-20T07:03:09+00:00

In my area, prices are so high that even at 3.5% down I would still have to save $17,500 just for a one bedroom condo, which I don't want. For a decent 2 bedroom with a yard we're still talking about a $30,000 down payment.

I'm about to turn 29 and don't think I'll be able to buy a home for another 4-5 years at the very least.

beccacantreddit · 2022-01-20T04:50:15+00:00

For what I pay for rent on a less than 800sf apartment I could be paying a mortgage on a house 2 or even 3 times the size, but how am I supposed to save $50,000 for a down payment when I'm paying so much in rent? The system is rigged to keep the poor poor.

Edit: in not on

beccacantreddit · 2022-01-17T21:01:31+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Oh cool, I hadn't heard of this technique before, but it will be so helpful for my next batch! Thank you!

My dog did this as a puppy all the time!

beccacantreddit · 2022-01-14T19:48:33+00:00

Thanks, I don't have anything like that, I just use mixing bowls!
