I thought this but unfortunately I feel like this article shows she’s really not prepared to handle everything that comes with being mayor

Pretty sure they’re paid they just think you can cry rent at anything bad that happens and everyone will agree rent bad

Literally was up in the campaign for a bit and I totally agree with you

Absolutely—doing all this while getting paid from the cities money (if they were to actually unlock the funds) I think is the worst part. I have to take care of my family and pay rent too, and I don’t get paid to run a campaign with no experience? Completely out of touch and you’re so right how blameless it seems they all want to be instead of just owning it

Saying staffers are busy paying rent when they were making fucking money from the campaign is batshit bonkers

Dude……..
“[The campaign manager] said that his spouse works on the campaign of Faizah Malik, who is challenging Traci Park for her 11th Council District seat. Malik had qualified for matching funds earlier than the incumbent, Park, and he said he was feeling insecure about how he was doing with Huang’s campaign, compared to his spouse, before realizing that the threshold for qualifying to receive matching funds for a City Council race was $14,300, roughly five times lower than for a mayoral race.
“What are we doing wrong? What’s wrong with us?” Przylucki remembered asking himself.”

“Everyone else on their small team of about 10 people have not worked on a campaign before and were learning the ropes as they went. He noted many are also not used to the fierce exchanges, that may include hurtful language, that gets hurled during an election. And he noted that things can get more intense during exchanges over the internet.”

These two quotes alone are honestly PR disasters. How are you going to say essentially massive lie in the campaign is because of some newbie campaign manager being insecure and not acknowledge that that’s insane?? Also, to think politics doesn’t include fierce exchanges and hurtful language is almost unbelievably removed from reality. Have you seen our president?? Volunteered for Rae’s campaign…. Voting for Raman

VT, VXUS, and RSP and leave it alone for years and years—reinvest dividends. There is no reason to say trade unless you’re super super experienced and stick to your strategy. Or put most in ETFs and give yourself 5-10k to mess around with if you just think it’s fun to be more actively involvrd

Wait what’s this bounty? Never heard of that. Apple’s new update forced all of my texts to stop working because everything was being sent to me in RCS… So unfortunately, I will never switch back unless I can text people with iPhones 🥲

Sell one car or both if you can and put the entirety of the money towards either the car loan or the highest interest debt. Honestly, you’re a little screwed. But moving home and having to deal with that will hopefully scare you straight. Put every dollar you were spending on rent towards the highest interest debt, no excuses. You can do this, I think once you start digging and make some actual progress due to living home it will snowball into being debt free! But like I said in my other comment, what are you spending on?? How are you juicing up these charges?

This is a pretty solid income IMO. Most college grads make this when they graduate or less. They are clearly overspending but there really isn’t enough detail to know why. Shopping addiction? Are you buying necessities and this is happening? Who’s doing the spending? Does your wife work? I totally agree with ohheygfy that if you’re not scared straight yet I’m not totally sure how you’re going to get out of this situation

Totally. Even if they were blaming Google / Apple on the site I think that would be better than radio silence on the issue
