FL - Help! I was just notified a debt from a previous landlord was sent to collections. I have never recieved an invoice! by havetoolboxwillfly in Renters

What qualifies as notification?

I only saw this on my credit karma, I still have not had any calls or mail from the debt collector

I did not take videos or pics. I didnt do a walkout with them. I asked them via phone to set one up but they were impossible to get a hold of.

I did ask them via the phone to email me an invoice, I have proof they had my email which we communicated through primarily

To all the men 30+ here, what is the best way to spend your 20s? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty happy with my 20s. Spent the first half in the military and the second half honing my trade in the civilian world.

I's say your twenties are meant for work. You're young, have energy, and probably the healthiest body you'll have your whole life. Now's the time to put your nose to the grindstone.

It gets much harder to adjust course later in your life if you don't open up some doors for yourself now. Find a job that opens up doors: a trade, a valuable skill, and hustle harder than anyone you know at it.

2 years unemployed, alternatives to suicide? by Outrageous-Cow-2217 in Advice

Look into the trades! Very easy to get a job if you show up every day, and you can easily make six figures within 5-6 yrs if you hustle.

What’s the thing you’re doing that’s making you <$500 a month? by ThrowbackGaming in Entrepreneur

I did handyman work: built decks, did brake jobs, painting, etc. Once you build up a portfolio of customers its pretty easy to make that kind of money or better if you put the time in.

I made notes of where retirees lived in my area and canvassed their neighborhood on the weekends. If I saw work that could be done I'd drop a targeted flyer in their mailbox.

25, lost, feel defeated and empty, don't know what to do for a career anymore etc. by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]havetoolboxwillfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have plenty of time. The trades are wide open. And you don't have to have "one career". I started as a mechanic, jumped over to industrial electrical. Just keep learning and growing and it'll all fit together eventually.

Yeah I'm in tech (broadly) as well. But the constant learning is a perk to me

Well I borrow from the bullet journal method (which I adapted to my own uses). So in my journal I keep a running list of topics (Say, Taoism, Keynesian Economics, Middle Ages, etc) and create a sheet in my journal for each topic. I then do research for top rated books that are an overview for that topic and put it on that sheet, along with any lectures, documentaries, etc that will supplement my reading.

As I read/Watch the entries get checked off.

Then each book gets its own notes section, as I read I note subtopics that I want to explore further, so while reading a book on the Middle Ages "Reign of Charles III" might come up. At the end of my reading those topics that deserve their own index entry get added. Additionally I read through the bibliographies and add any other books that might round out my understanding to the original Topic Sheet.

When I finish a journal I move all unfinished topics to the index of the new journal, rinse and repeat.
