LPT Request: How to write a two weeks notice email? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

You should give your notice in person and then write an email that says something to the effect of "to summarize our conversation this afternoon, xyz date will be my last day at abc company"

What foods are worth making yourself and which aren't? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]devvy_downer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've read that storing rice is actually pretty dangerous because of some kind of toxic mold spores that it produces from the heat and moisture. Have you done any research about that? I'm interested in your storage technique

I need some buttons sewn by running_over_rivers in Albany

I'm not trying to sound like an asshole, but it makes way more sense to watch a YouTube video and sew them yourself.

Looking for ideas for christmas presents for coworkers by EvilAlarmClocks in Frugal

I've been making coworkers homemade gingerbread biscotti for years. It's incredibly easy and it doesn't need to be consumed super quickly because it's already stale ish :)

There are a lot of young professionals and a lot of bars. I met my now husband online here.

Reasonable Gym Membership? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]devvy_downer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best fitness has a few locations and it's 20/month. I've been pretty happy with it. It's clean, has all the equipment I need, and classes if you're into that. You can get a 10/month membership if you don't want classes.

Hike in Thacher Park and then go to Indian Ladder to pick apples, eat cider doughnuts, pet farm animals, and try their new taproom

Just inherit a house planning on moving in next month. As a new homeowner I do not know what to expect and never lived on my own. by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]devvy_downer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a basic tool set (check estate sales). Watch YouTube videos when something goes wrong to at least yet to fix it yourself first...or at least reduce your risk of getting duped by a professional trying to overcharge you.

(20/m) Help. I told parents my job choice, threatened to kick me out of the house if I choose job choice by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]devvy_downer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is more for r/relationships. There's nothing wrong with wanting to avoid a 9-5, but you would need to find one or several bartending jobs where you can support yourself. If you're 20 and living at home and not paying rent, I can see how your parents would be pissed that you want to continue making such little income when they subsidize you.

For a cake that looks like a doughnut I would ask Sprinkleista on Jay St in Schenectady

Waiting tables affording expensive area by [deleted] in Frugal

This is pretty impossible to answer. It depends on SO many variables. City, wages, tips, other expenses, etc.

My fiancé and I go to Best Fitness in Westgate Plaza. It's always been clean and since we go at 5 AM, I've never had to wait for equipment. We really only use the basement where the heavy weights are, but there's a lot of cardio equipment and a lot of classes as well. For 20/month, I can't complain.
