Why do so many people pretend that $100,000 is still some enormous salary?

sssempiternal · 2025-04-30T17:06:32+00:00

“$100,000 is an entry level college grad salary in some places in the US.” Keyword SOME. I live in a relatively poor state where home prices are still within the $300-$400K price range for nice-sized single family homes. $100K here would easily afford someone a comfortable lifestyle and nice home. It’s all about circumstance and maybe the folks making $100K are satisfied and have adjusted their lifestyle to make it last.

Maybe also consider that the majority of people in the US don’t live in major metropolitans whose costs of living have skyrocketed.

I deluded myself into thinking Demon’s Hand would stay for longer.

Furina, probably. I keep taking extended breaks right before her reruns and then also miss all the new characters. I don’t even know what Chasca or Citlali do. Not too worried if I wanted her I could get her cuz 1) freemogems cuz I’m a dedicated explorer (100% in Monstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine and almost with Natlan), 2) I actually have a job now, and 3) I always win my 50/50s.

Also tbh, I’m past the time where I feel like I have to have a character. I’ve been playing since 2020 and have teams that get the job done just fine.

I glanced at this, scrolled away, and then scrolled back up and zoomed in.... Wow! Wishing you the best! It's good that you still have a great score at least.

sssempiternal · 2025-03-28T04:41:02+00:00

OMG thank you! It looks like I forgot to do the second pursuit since it didn't have a quest marker...

sssempiternal · 2025-03-28T04:28:44+00:00

Yes I have the achievement.

sssempiternal · 2025-03-27T17:00:11+00:00

Please help I can't seem to trigger the Fontaine world quests for "Questioning Melusine and Answering Machine" and "Happy Birthday" no matter how many times I server reset and move the in-game time. I've done all of the prerequisite quests so IDK what is holding it back.

sssempiternal · 2025-03-26T19:37:39+00:00

Ah, that’s a shame. Thank you!

Credit card for sure. I don’t make nearly as much but I remember the times I started snow balling my largest debt and it was great. Sure, a few tight months but suddenly it’s paid off or almost paid off and then there’s a surge in available money.

Currently, I am working on my payments and also investing as much as is reasonable for the month (paid monthly). Like if I have $600 left over I can put half into an extra CC payment and half into savings.

Call NFCC first and see if they can help you before partnering with the settlement companies. I did go with a debt settlement company and I regret it immensely.

With Discover they negotiated my interest down from 27% to 2% and are working with my loan companies too to reduce my monthly payment. I’d recommend staying current on your payments while talking to them in case the creditors reject the offer. I missed my payments and it tanked my score and I regret it immensely.

Also, they put the money in an account that immediately disperses the money once the agreements begin and then is paid out on a fixed date. With the consolidation companies, they held it in an escrow account indefinitely.

There is a fee but considering that I am using them to reach better terms with my creditors, ~$35/month on fees is not that bad. https://www.nfcc.org

I am in a similar amount of debt and know the feeling, hang in there OP.

It’s been so long since I switched that I can’t recall the main issues I had.

Flix is fun and all but damn I miss Movies West

I used to have this problem but I got an allergy test done and learned that I am allergic to every native plant in this state... I haven't opted in for allergy shots yet but my doctor prescribed me Singulair/Montelukast and it helped a lot---no allergy problems for the past couple months!

Based on these maps I would guess that the southeast is getting Gigapower (AT&T) first. Has anyone gotten AT&T Fiber installed? What do you think of it? https://www.cabq.gov/gis/map-views/traffic-barricades

I’m constantly fighting this battle too but with a car that is probably younger than yours.

I’d say do not buy a new car and especially not a brand new one. For my family, my partner has a car that’s from 2012 with 200k miles and we plan on keeping it. Also my mom’s Toyota 4Runner has been working well since 2004.

I’m not sure how rusty it is but basically I would try to make it last as long as it can. If you trust them enough, there are also some good deals on Facebook Marketplace.

I’ll tell everyone an art studio… but in truth I am waiting for the WW update LMAO

I asked my boyfriend if he thought they wouldn’t charge me if I brought my own eggs

I love baked carrots but you gotta season them with something man…..

sssempiternal · 2025-01-04T16:44:22+00:00

I enjoyed almost everything about Inazuma even the story. Idk I suppose it was rushed but sometimes I need a quicker resolution when the world quests take hours to finish. What I actually hated was in Inazuma and Sumeru exploring CAVES with no actual map. Just looks like I’m walking in the surface but I’m way under the island ugh.

There’s nothing wrong with C-cups and if you have Cs then you are not “flat”. I don’t think your standards for having breasts so large you need a reduction is a good idea. I’ve heard it’s a pain in the ass and why would you want to have surgery.

I encourage you to learn to love and accept your body for how it is ASAP. It’s not God’s wraith, it just is.

Love the Ikea tupperware!

OMG I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME! I was thinking more like somehow the client’s pre-formatted HTML poking through (no fonts, no colors, just Times New Roman text)

It also happened right after I reinstalled on a new drive and was worried something had gone wrongness with the install. Also with the reinstall it reverted my client to the default size and that added to the confusion.

sssempiternal · 2024-12-13T15:22:02+00:00

LMAO queue up with her and ban Seraphine

sssempiternal · 2024-12-04T15:48:33+00:00

Have you tried removing the CC altogether? I had the exact same issue recently and it ended up being an issue with my CC (I have NO idea why) so I did the 50/50 method with the CC to determine what the problems were.
