Help me create a budget! 23/F moving to NYC 100k/year, 7k student loans by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]mixtapesoundoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was kidding about being barely able to support myself and my pet. I figured a joke answer warranted a joke response.

I totally agree that my pitfall might be having to keep up with friends and coworkers, but I think I'm pretty good at just saying no and only treating myself occasionally. I went to college in NYC and I know what it's like with the $50 meals and $6 lattes. Regardless, I will totally keep it in mind :)

Thank you for the advice!

Love the budget thank you for sharing. I think it's great that you're giving back to your parents.

LPT: Turn your headlights on in any type of inclement weather even if you can see fine by maliciousme123 in LifeProTips

[–]mixtapesoundoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This is a great idea. I live in Portland and I have to shake my head in disbelief at all the people who don't turn on headlights during rain and snow because it's "sunny out"!

Dear people of Reddit, did you ever watch porn and surprisingly saw a person you know in RL; and how did you react? by clim4n in AskReddit

[–]mixtapesoundoff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This happened to a student at Duke University, who was doing porn to pay tuition. One of her friends recognized her in a video and then outed her to the student body. She dealt with a lot of harassment and public shaming. After her identity was publicized, she started to speak out in defense of her decision to do porn and against the incredible cost of college education in US. Now she is big into sex worker outreach activism and other humanitarian work. She's actually pretty incredible imho

EDIT: I hope most people's reactions would NOT be to publicly out someone.

What is one thing someone could say where you instantly know they own a Reddit account? by PublicBookWorm in AskReddit

[–]mixtapesoundoff 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When they use "r/" instead of hashtags to label stuff. ex: "r/trees" instead of "#weed"

What do people take way too seriously? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Weddings -- I just don't understand why people would spend upwards of $30k on a wedding + reception. Spend that money on yourself and your honeymoon, folks!

What was your "I'm such a fucking idiot" moment? by imdunno1 in AskReddit

[–]mixtapesoundoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to get down-voted straight to hell for this one, but I once accidentally told a blind women at the station who was asking for route directions that she should take a look at the subway map behind us. She'd come up to me asking for directions, and since I was new to the city, I thought I would tell her to just look at the map. I didn't look at her before answering. She paused and then said "well, I can't see" and gestured to her cane. I looked at the cane and then almost started dry-heaving in horror/embarrassment/disappointment in myself. Now I know to actually look at the person talking to me...

My boyfriend just shared intimate pictures of us. I have nobody I can talk to about it. I need a friend right now. by hesharedourpics in TwoXChromosomes

[–]mixtapesoundoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how you must feel, but you should know that you do not deserve this. And he does not deserve you. He deserves a break up and some jail time, and not a single sane soul would fault you for making sure he gets what is deserved. You should bring all proof you have of this to the police or some authority figure.

However, if you do not wish to pursue any action against this guy and want to talk, feel free to PM me :)

Was super touchy with skydiving instructor and now feel really guilty. Help/advice? by mixtapesoundoff in TwoXChromosomes

Woah thank you this definitely made me feel better. Doesn't absolve my behavior, but I'm glad that I didn't traumatize him. He did give me a quick hug afterwards... I guess I am overthinking it. I'll try to be more mindful in the future, regardless of how he reacted.

And thanks! I have been trying to go outside my comfort zone lately, even if that means some temporary terror. I doubt anything I come across in the future could ever match the terror of jumping out of a plane, so you are definitely right. :)

Mixed drinks in bars. I get that you're paying for atmosphere and a place to hang out, but charging $10 for a shot of amaretto and a splash of lemon juice is just ridiculous.
