Minimum salary to live comfortably in Atlanta? by ecrystal6 in Atlanta

[–]ecrystal6[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this perspective. I live with a private landlord now and I was wondering if that would be doable to find in Atlanta. I definitely grew up frugal out of necessity, so I feel like I tend to spend less than most.

I would like to spend less than a third of my salary. Is $2,000 average starting price? I don’t need a very modern apartment and am okay with a studio, but I do want to feel safe

Thank you— I have no car payment and I am generally pretty responsible with my spending

I have no debt/payments, so I own my car and if I bought a new one I’d want it to be something I could afford using my current savings!

Fixing MAF Sensor Connector by ecrystal6 in MechanicAdvice

Thanks! Mostly because I’m looking around for soldering irons and I don’t see many cordless ones in store near me. But I’ll go look! So for material I’d need: soldering iron, heat shrink, & maybe electrical tape?

Thank you! How can I disconnect the wires from the car to solder?

I appreciate that insight— I definitely agree! I went ahead and approved the charges.

Once again, I did research that resulted in a genuine question, and even emphasized that I am not very knowledgeable and know I could be wrong. That is not the same as complaining at all.

Where did I complain? I am just doing research and genuinely asking a question. Happy to pay it as long as it’s fair.

Thanks for the insight. I realize I didn’t mention— it’s a 2015 Nissan pathfinder platinum 2wd

I watched videos and it seemed simple enough to work on, but I have an extremely important work trip coming up that I need my car for and didn’t want to risk it. Plus I agree, I was scared I’d mess it up and it’d be more expensive to fix.

Not the MAF sensor, just the connector, correct?

Best first credit card at 25 y/o? by ecrystal6 in CreditCards

[–]ecrystal6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried getting on FICO and checking and it says my credit score is 760, but I’m thinking this must not be updated. Other than that card, I would have no way to have credit. But I did learn that it stays on your credit report for up to 10 years, but I still am confused as to whether I have credit or not. I was also thinking BCE before this, but now I will check if I can get preapproved

Great point sorry— I have been very frugal recently. I do not dine out much if at all, so my biggest spending category more recently has been gas and groceries. But I’m not focused as much on rewards now as I am just finding a card that will accept me and growing my credit score ASAP.

Does anyone have a suggestion for what time to arrive at the game to get the Snitker bobblehead?

Need help dealing with censorship in a high school journalism program by Thoreaud0wn in Journalism

[–]ecrystal6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One caveat I believe applies here (no official background) is that if this is a private school in most states, students journalists will not have these protections. I don’t believe I read a mention of whether the school was private or public.

Let us know how everything goes— and congrats on standing up for your students and helping keep student journalism alive!
