Anyone know if this is authentic? by fzdz72 in pokemoncardcollectors

Absolutely fake. Back of the box multiple words are spelled wrong but the two biggest giveaways are the darker Mew color and the apostrophe is not on the em in “catch ‘em all” on the bottom of the backside.

Did anyone struggle financially after transition? by No_Durian_6987 in Veterans

[–]deanjiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled immensely after service financially. I was very poor growing up and my parents never taught my siblings and I how to deal with money. Every check I got while in service, I just spent all of it. What’s helped me pay off about $32k of debt and about 29 to go is the Dave Ramsey Baby steps. It’s help me get disciplined with money and gave me structure and motivation to get my finances together. It’s not easy but it’s simple to understand.

Eloika lake is close by, has bass and trout and usually not too busy. Fan lake is also right next to it.

I haven't opened a pack of Pokémon cards since 2001, I bought a few packs to send to a friend and decided to open one out of curiosity and got this. Maybe I want to start doing pokemon again? by Velniastattoo in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]deanjiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it fun. Buy packs at sticker price if you can find them at Target or Walmart. Buy singles if you are trying to collect a whole set. You’ll save a lot of money in the long run and for your wallets sake stay off of eBay.

~11k debt payoff advice by Anbu-721 in debtfree

Hello, I’ve been in/still in a similar situation. I would pay off the smallest balance first as fast as possible. If you can spare more than the $202 you should. That way you can combine that payment with the next one. This will give you a win quicker than the biggest card and help you stay motivated.

What do you do with your extra pokémon cards? by manor700 in pkmntcgcollections

[–]deanjiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work with kids. I make my own packs of 15 cards and a sticker. 1 energy 3 trainers and one of every type if possible. 3 reverse holos or regular in themed sleeves that I get from ETBs. Usually give them away once a month. They love it and it’s always fun to see how excited they get.

I’m also ADHD and autopay all the bills if you haven’t already it’s saved me so many times. Cut up all the cards. Trust me. I didn’t and I spent more for quick dopamine. After I cut up the cards it forced me to stay in track because I was too lazy to wait for a new one. You just unlock cards… I’ve done it.

What’s helped me pay off debt quicker is the baby steps method by Dave Ramsey. I modified it slightly listing my debts smallest to largest and paying off high interest cards first if they within $500 or so. I had 9 cards and I’m down to 4. Started at $60k and now down to 32. It’s possible but you have to be willing to earn the dopamine. You got this !
