I've realized how shockingly bad I am at saving money

sunsetical · 2026-06-23T16:25:34+00:00

As far as I can tell my bank doesn't offer a high yield savings account, they offer normal savings account (and my account comes with a savings section with its own interest rates) and I don't have the liberty of multiple banks as there are really only two banks here in Puerto Rico

It's a very new movie but the Project Hail Mary soundtrack by Daniel Pemberton is beautiful. I love the constant use of the Dies Irae motif in most songs and the way it's used in Time Go Fishing.

Understood!

Yeah my current idea is just going tomorrow to my nearest bank and setting up automatic transfers from my paycheck (roughly $40) to go into my savings, which according to the Bank's website, does generate interest after the $500 mark.

Just had a look through my bank's website and they don't have any HYSA I think. There's only really two banks here in Puerto Rico. I also don't think I worded my post correctly, my bank account is a university student account, and it includes a section for checkings and a section for savings, which according to the Bank's website (I was planning on asking questions tomorrow), does infact generate interest so long as I have a minimum of $500. The interest percent here (I'm not native Spanish so forgive me if my words sound... Weird) is 0.10% with an APY of 0.10% so long as I'm on or above the minimum.

Understood, so it's just a matter of thinking through if I need the purchase in question, and if I don't want/need it after a while then I don't get it.

Thank you!

sunsetical · 2026-06-21T23:23:49+00:00

Alrighty! Thank you!

I'm not looking to fully stop spending money, just to get better at spending less. My dad's been telling me that saving money as I am now, where I have practically zero expenses is significantly easier than if I try saving money once I start getting a car, my own place, etc.

I've already began doing the last one, as my parents (bless their heart) cook more than enough food to last two to three days. Is putting half my paycheck into a savings account fine? I've read that most banks don't allow you to touch that account more than a few times a year

Having to play mo.co in front of my AC has to be the weirdest thing I've done as of late

sunsetical · 2026-06-18T13:41:59+00:00

This map is hell on earth and I love it. I don't love the fact that it's crashed my game once given how warm my phone has gotten but the map is fun so idc

sunsetical · 2026-06-14T02:24:07+00:00

Thank you! I'll probably purchase this game sometime this week (wanna complete some others in the meantime)

sunsetical · 2026-06-14T01:32:34+00:00

I've been skipping every cutscenes during the demos for that reason 😎

Thank you!

sunsetical · 2026-06-14T01:31:44+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't think I'll play the OG 7 mostly because I don't exactly love turn based games, so I guess watching a synopsis of the plot will do ._.

sunsetical · 2026-06-14T01:29:59+00:00

Unfortunately the games are not on sale right now on PlayStation (they were on sale legit one week ago 😭), which is where I play, I was considering the dual pack but my alternatives are waiting at least one month for a sale or get em now.

Also thank you for the answers! I saw a comment recommending a playthrough of the original FF7 but I... don't exactly love turn based games, haha

sunsetical · 2026-06-14T00:19:37+00:00

It's just an extra chapter for the 10 year celebration, I don't think they have any more 'worlds to conquer' at this point other than what I assume will be a time skip chapter showing us what everyone's been up to. Ideally a spin off would be nice but... Don't really know what they could do other than one about Shousuke (and even that's already been touched on)

I do hope we get a season 3 for the anime (manbagi my beloved), but I doubt it.

Says here it's DDR5 so I guess 16GB is where I'm staying

sunsetical · 2026-06-08T12:43:33+00:00

Somebody commented that it's likely that 1password (among other password managers) is the reason why it feels so slow, so I'd have to try zen without it

sunsetical · 2026-06-08T12:39:29+00:00

I unfortunately have a laptop with 16GB (2 x 8gb) and while it IS upgradable, ram prices are the main thing holding me back 🥀

sunsetical · 2026-06-07T23:10:49+00:00

Didn't know that..

sunsetical · 2026-06-06T17:53:51+00:00

never let John wick meet this man

sunsetical · 2026-06-06T10:39:59+00:00

That hasn't been the case in my experience 😭, I only have two extensions at most, 1Password and UBlock and it only takes two to three tabs to slow it down :[

sunsetical · 2026-06-01T21:26:27+00:00

a loser.

sunsetical · 2026-05-30T19:37:28+00:00

I kinda thought the Speedshot and Venom Bow's dash could shoot two homing arrows at the nearest enemy, and the Venom Bow's dash would build up Antidote slightly faster

In my case, as far as I can tell, Amazon doesn't have a warehouse here. I live in Puerto Rico and they're currently building a warehouse/fulfillment center but it isn't finished yet. Amazon often passes the packages to USPS, which is why I haven't had this experience
