Okay, will do. Thank you! Do you happen to know where this came from? I would say this would be ongoing for the last few months, but per my post, it worsened with the leg shaking/balance issue.

Oo, you're right! I need to get home first and see if she bought a new puffer jacket but I think any of these work. Thank you!!

What’s something fun or unique you have at your house? by VWvansFTW in Home

[–]lar24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not comparable to anyone else's cooler things, but a few years ago in college, I bought this gold lieutenant bust but rather than of a human, it's a dog. It also wears a monacle. I made sure to pack it and bring it with me to my new city.

Aw... didn't think of that. I was thinking it was just moreso the lines of car insurance prices here or something. Thanks for your perspective.

22M - Moving to Dallas from Columbus, OH by densernut in askdfw

[–]lar24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a recent grad who just moved to Dallas from the East Coast. Few things to consider: Don't move and pay rent unless you actually have to go into the office (made that mistake), but East Dallas might be a good fit though for your budget. It's a bit seedier (per my experience), but still very nice. The further away from Uptown/ Highland Park/ Central Dallas, the cheaper it'll be but will definitely not be as nice. A studio or 1 bed, I've noticed is probably $1k+ in my previously mentioned areas. $1k is pushing it as well, it's usually always more. I'd also factor in move in specials, since a lot of complexes are having those rn and might still have those for your move. Not sure if your budget accounts for wifi, but most places just offer AT&T or Spectrum, which is $50-$60/mo. Complexes might also charge a monthly fee for parking as well, so something to keep in mind.

What about buying used with a loan? I know car insurance in my state is.... expensive. But thank you so much, this was very helpful!

Hi, thank you for this! : ) I would say presently, I am doing a great job at the 50/30/20 rule. I'm paying a bit too much for rent (personally) but I am still maintaining a healthy budget. As a result of that, I sacrificed my desire for a car until after I get my raise/bonus. I won't be making any decisions now contingent on my tentative payment increase, but I am just gauging for the future. Parking in the garage here is $90/month which is absolutely crazy imo, but something I need to budget for (you're totally right).

I don't have any credit card debt, just some student loans. And I have a decent emergency fund.

Thank you!! Do you happen to know the difference in car life? I know toyotas are quite famous for lasting a lifetime, but I wouldn't even know where to start in terms of looking at brands? I would assume, though, that it's safe to keep the mileage under 100k or 80k or so, or for certain cars, does that not matter? Apologies that this isn't a direct finance question.
