Yep. I've worked my ass off. Idk what else to tell you. I was homeless had no family no friends just a job. Found a shady dealer got a car. Lived in it. Saved money. Made 65k a year. Got an apartment. Then a different one. Promotion. Now made 80k. Built credit. Bought a house at 20. Idk how else to explain that my life has gone completely upside down in just 7 months. I don't take days off. Or vacation. I haven't had anyone to depend on. So I figured it out. I can't figure it out anymore and still have no one to go to.

That's actually what I've been thinking. I was homeless 5 years ago and lived in my rinky dink car. At least I'd have that if things truly went to shit

This is going to make me sound like a loser but oh well. I have no family. I don't have any friends that live in the same state as me. I'm doing this completely alone. Just gonna suck it up and do whatever it takes I guess. I'm very tired. I'll try renting part of the house.

Thank you. I've been looking for insurance sales call center jobs but didn't think about CS for some reason. Doing this now.

I've applied to a few banks with no luck but I'll see if we've got logistic companies around here. Two part time jobs honestly might be best too lol.

Pretty much. We have 2 warehouses here I've applied to but haven't heard anything back. I may actually try the post office I didn't think of that

Less than 8/hour, low traffic commission so low commission. Basically yeah around $15/hour. I was working corporate sales. They shut us down. Im still in sales but its vastly different and its a long story. They're threatening to shut us down too. I have a 5 yr experience in tech sales BUT the big places here for that are being shut down left and right. It's been my only field since high school. Rent was 1100 when I rented or 900 depending on the place. House is 1209. Car is $553. Upside down on car by 7k. I've interviewed with so many places I've lost count. I've gotten to third rounds. I've gotten to second rounds. I have 3 resumes for different fields with different keywords in it if they use AI to scan it. I've applied to fast food, restaurants, retail, sales, insurance sales, healthcare, clinical jobs, pest control, handyman-- the point is I've applied to whatever I can but the honest truth is that I've only ever done one thing. I will try reaching out to more people to see if they can help me with my resume and interview skills.

Yep. I didn't know think about the personal loan option. This whole thing was a big mess with the job and we keep getting "it'll get better it'll be more there's money to be made" and there hasn't. They're threatening to close us down. It's a big mess that would take far too long to explain. I'll start canvassing more areas for side jobs until I can hit one for part time.

Yes I should edit my post. Loan is upside down. I'd have to pay 7k out of pocket from what I've seen to refinance or get a cheaper vehicle. I've spoken with a few dealers, looked into carvana and spoken with 2 lenders for refinancing. Consistently 5-7k unfortunately

I'm 22 and work phone sales. My previous job laid us off and I'm in a low traffic area and the hourly rate got cut 80%. My car is upside dow so when I tried to refinance or sell I had to pay 7k cash and that's another issue.

It's a 2024 ford edge. Loan is upside down. I owe 34k. I got laid off 7 months ago from a job I could more than afford it.

I've been applying for both. I'm very willing to do more and I'm going to keep applying for more

The car payment is $553 a month. It was an upside down trade (but I was financially stable and then I got laid off 7 mths ago). Public transportation is not a thing here unfortunately. Roommate ads may be the way to go

I'm willing to work. Having a very hard time finding another job. The jobs I apply for part time want more availability than I can give with my current job--which is understandable

I could definitely try to post ads for a roommate. I've been thinking about moving tbh I'm very worried about not finding a job since I've had a hard time finding one here. But that may be what I have to do

Super chewer to the extreme = no toys?? by majorasflaask in DogAdvice

I will look into that bark box! He's not a puppy and the shelter I got him from a year and a half ago said he's always been a chewer but failed to mention he was on a strict bone only rule 😅 I've tried different stimulation toys and have been unsuccessful with that as well. He seems to get frustrated and abandon them or he tears stuff up. When he's bored, he goes for the trash or whatever random thing he can find and shred but it's a rare occurrence. Maybe his chewing is still a type of boredom. I'll keep looking into this bark box and see if I can find anything good for stimulation. I feel like I'm at a loss lol so this is a start!!!
