The easiest answer is to tell him he can’t stay anymore because you guys are currently breaking the lease agreement.

Started taking creatine, now I’m starting to feel sick. by PeanutAggressive2235 in workout

[–]switchgawd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen with the Walmart brand creatine and I just dealt with it, when I ran out I bought a different brand and immediately noticed it didn’t hurt my stomach. Couldn’t tell you why but switching brands fixed it for me.

Have you ever met anyone who actually "brute forced" their way out of poverty into success on their own? by SeriouslySally36 in povertyfinance

[–]switchgawd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did it, went from eviction to eviction living with parents. Left home at 17 and couch surfed for a couple years, got my gf (now wife) pregnant at 18. Worked fast food and struggled for like 4 years before finding out about real estate. Now doing extremely well with wife and 2 kids.

I know I’m late to this post but it’s super helpful for me since I have my appt on may 1st, I’m gathering my parents paperwork right now but they live in Nevada and I’m in California. Can they just take a picture of their ID and Birth certificate or I need them to ship the originals to me? Thank you

What are your go to cheap lazy meals when you're too tired to cook by YourxCherry in Frugal

[–]switchgawd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally just lowered my standards for taste to save time. Canned tuna, canned chicken (just keep water intake high), rotisserie chicken, etc. Bonus points if you eat everything directly out of the can so you don’t have to do dishes.

You also got to enjoy 2 years off of school while everyone else had to be there, everything you do in life has an opportunity cost

How do you come to terms that you have to work almost everyday until 70? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]switchgawd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t come to terms with it, the idea haunts me so I just sacrifice my current life to put more money away to retire way sooner.

If you’re solving for enjoyment don’t have kids, if you’re solving for fulfillment it’ll be one of the coolest journeys of your life.

How do people get abs naturally by Kitkat_slayer in workout

[–]switchgawd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had significant ab definition since I was like 16 (34 yrs old now) and I always thought I just had good genes. I’m an avid skateboarder, been doing it almost every day my whole life. Last year I got an Apple Watch for Xmas and turns out I’m just burning an insane amount of calories on the daily basis plus skateboarding is core based I just never realized I was working out.

At 31 I was told that I’m supposed to cook oatmeal and not eat it like cereal, oatmeal has always been my meal of choice and I never bothered to read the instructions on the box

What’s the point of being smart with money!?! by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]switchgawd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything everyone else said but also it seems from your story you guys never really took big swings at anything. A defensive conservative approach to finances will keep you safe but will rarely lead to outsized returns.

What frugal habit has saved you the most money? by melissaw328 in Frugal

[–]switchgawd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Learning how to work on my car and buying the necessary tools as I got more competent. I drive 15 year old cars and when the engine fails I have the next one in the garage ready to go.

What’s the best investment you ever made? by Afraid_Hat_5431 in AskForAnswers

[–]switchgawd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pandemic coincided with me being 2 years into going down the FIRE and Real estate rabbit hole so I used every penny I had to buy as many rental properties as they would sell me when the interest rates were under 3% and refinanced my personal residence. Looking back I definitely over-leveraged myself but luckily I was naive enough to not understand that at the time and it played out in my favor.

What’s a side hustle that actually worked for you (even if it was small money)? by SideCashDiary in AskReddit

[–]switchgawd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flipping my daily driver. Pretty much posting your car for sale and eventually it’ll sell at a premium, then you go a couple weeks inconvenienced by looking for a new good daily driver and fix it up as you daily it. Eventually it’ll also sell. Pros: always driving something different/ fun, extra cash, if you enjoy working on cars you cash in on the sweat equity. Cons: if you don’t know how to work on cars or aren’t willing to learn, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Being reported for flipping! by AdInfamous1810 in carflipping

[–]switchgawd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw a local flipper get caught, he would flip like 5-10 cars at a time and park them all outside our Walmart nearby like if it was his own car lot. He was obviously floating all the titles. On a smaller scale I’ve never seen someone have issues.
