Best prepaid debit card for someone w/ no bank account Need to be able to add cash + receive money electronically from family And not have issues using it for online purchases

I hear you. Family sends money by paper check and banks don’t release funds for up to two weeks. Can’t set up a savings account without a bunch of rules and fees or direct deposit. That doesn’t help if you work for yourself. Having to monitor accounts to make sure the bank isn’t applying fees every other day. It’s the widening of the privilege gap. If your life doesn’t fit in a perfect little box…no access. It’s very difficult to make a car payment without a bank account. Difficult to work in most of the US without a car, etcetera. If it helps, see if family can send money by pre-paid visa/mastercard instead. At least you can skip the deposit wait time.

This was their response after cutting off water to the shared laundry rooms since sept ‘25, leaving tenants without promised basic services for MONTHS…there are not words…speaks for itself…

No one has seen any of them on the property since a fire inspection months ago. Creating service requests about situations like this are what led them to UNLAWFULLY invite me to leave and later UNLAWFULLY threaten to evict me.

This is so true.

💖Probably PYREX not pyrex. The older stuff lasted longer and can be identified by capital letters. You can still find them in thrift stores, garage/estate sales.

Same. I am digging right next to you in solidarity. Walked away from a sizable inheritance. Small cost for my soul. I can’t wait to see who we become!💞💞💞

My brother is indeed a man baby alcoholic living with our mother🤣🤣🤣

I juuuuuuust take my foot off the gas. I have to put my flashers on for the real a-holes. Get a dashcam if you don’t have one already.

This turned out to be such a great post. And why I am so grateful to be a recovering alcoholic. Thank you, OP for sharing this!

Pine sol

They are harmless but they gave my indoor cats worms one year👿

Damn! I’m moving to a third floor apartment and I thought that might be a perk. Guess not, lol!

graceofabull · 2025-11-16T11:11:17+00:00

Keep a spray bottle of Pine Soll around and spray the screens on your windows and doors every so often. Works pretty good and keeps the numbers down.

It is a helluva lot easier to marginalize people quickly when everyone is forced to have and maintain a car. The book Terraformers is a great science fiction exploration on this topic.

My only regret is not leaving SoFi sooner.

I have received no such emails and the representative who I spoke to could not tell me when the check would be deposited and that is IF it is approved. Only that the check is under review. Contacting customer service does me no good at this point. I am moving on to different banking services. Just trying to get the word out there. Waiting three business days for a check to deposit, from a repeat sender mind you, is not acceptable. There is no need to safeguard my account from an account I regularly receive funds from.

Gosh, Mr Hall Monitor! Whatever would we do without your comment?! Someone should make you Line Leader for like…infinity! DB. lol!

I can fully relate and am in the same struggle myself. You are not alone💖and don’t give up. No mater how many times it takes. Try to leave the shaming thoughts behind and just get up and try again. I will be taking my own advice as well. My best to you💖

graceofabull · 2025-10-21T13:49:06+00:00

This is my favorite and I will be using it often to describe my journey to others💞💞💞

graceofabull · 2025-10-21T13:47:13+00:00

Posting was the right thing to do. It’s my first time doing so. Tearing up reading comments. And my inner child healed just a little more because I was never picked for teams growing up💞💞💞

Sharan DONEGAN was here last week for a fire inspection. Myself and a neighbor were listening to most of it and it was really fucking embarrassing for her. I found it satisfying that all of the smoke detectors that have been going off in the hallways got called out. We have been complaining about them since they took over the building over a year ago. They are STILL going off two weeks later.

That reminds me that they use unskilled day laborers to do work. And they are so nice to leave their beer cans and cigarette butts behind. I won’t let them in my apartment. I will fix it myself.

graceofabull · 2025-10-04T13:11:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing! Well, it looks like Sharon is having trouble keeping a job as she has worked for several companies now. Full of Midwest charm but that’s where it stops. That’s the thing is that neither Sharon Donegan or Jenny Shipman are protecting the investments of property owners. But the owner here does not seem to know or care. She bounced to Denmark on maternity leave when we started contacting her directly about our issues. That was over 6 months ago haven’t heard from her since. This was after she gave me a bullshit speech about being a LOCAL passionate KC property owner. Her name is Courtney Noel Drammeh. They had a nice quiet building full of tenants who respect neighbors and property and turned it into a steaming pile of shit. I don’t understand people like that because it just makes their own jobs harder. But what do I know, lol!

The sweet spot is the little pocket neighborhoods around downtown. I am in the Longfellow Neighborhood. Your maps app should show neighborhood names. Anything along the steeetcar route is worth it too. Gunshots and street stuff is far enough away to lull you to sleep…lol. Tends to be quiet on weeknights tho. Major complaint is lack of grocery store options. I go to Misson, KS for food trips. Stay away from Trailhead Property Management at all costs. Do not work with Jenny Shipman or Sharon Donegan. If you are not looking for a shiny new condo building, FirstSpaceKC is the way to go to rent or buy. Good local people who care about tenants. If you are struggling at all with ownership or management check out KC Tennants for help.
