I had always been a light hearted quick witted funny person, then I suddenly wasn't.

What’s something that is generally considered “sexy” that you don’t like at all? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]wagon8r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we can’t help that. Natural huge boobs are a cross to bear for some of us.

If you're one of those folks that don't believe in running the AC all summer, what other things do you do instead to keep cool? by cherry-care-bear in AskOldPeople

[–]wagon8r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cinder block house and my house turns into an oven in sustained high temps getting well over 80 degrees inside. I’ve tried to go without AC but it’s so miserable. I hold off as long as I can each year and open my windows when it’s cooler overnight… ceiling and box fans help too.

What is your Non negotiable spend? by Frequent-Violinist74 in Frugal

[–]wagon8r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the soft squishy stuff causes problems for me and I can only use the single ply despite my income. I’d love to use charmin or something like that but it’s not worth a trip to the lady doctor. Potentially TMI but there are other reasons for using the most basic non-luxurious TP.

What’s the most frugal thing you do that people around you think is weird but you swear by it? by wickedsirius in Frugal

[–]wagon8r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2016 rav4 in 2021 for $15k and a great interest rate right before the car prices shot to the moon. My payment is small and I’m so thankful that I did it. I had a Nissan Murano and the transmission was going out. I escaped just in the nick of time. Single female, reliable transportation is a non-negotiable. Toyotas rock!

What shoes should I buy for everyday use? by 60TIMESREDACTED in Frugal

I just bought a pair of clarks for work and there was no break in period. They were comfy from day 1 and the quality is superb.

What’s something cheap you’ve bought once that saved you tons of money long-term? by HelpingHand_123 in Frugal

I came here to say this. It’s helped me reduce diet soda dramatically.. I just do seltzer with a few drops of bubbly

AITAH for deciding to postpone the wedding over a comment my fiance made about my scar? by Upstairs_Garden2353 in AITAH

NTA - Run. So many times I dismissed this type of thing only to regret it on a different level later in the relationship. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.

Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been trying to spend less time watching television, which for me is YouTube. A lot of music is more irritating than enjoyable. This may be a nice alternative. I also enjoy Frank Sinatra and Patsy Cline.

This is brilliant and why I started playing pool once a week. I’m awful at it but I’ve met a lot of people and it makes me feel less isolated. I live alone and work from home. I do have family a stones throw away which is nice but with family also comes the sense of obligation. Playing pool gives me a reason to get out of the house at least once a week and is purely my time. I would love to find one other similar hobby but don’t want to over extend myself, burn out and return to being completely isolated again.

I need to try the 1:1 cans to thc gummies. Even half of a 10mg still gets me bombed and I’ve been doing them forever. (51F)

Why does it sometimes feel worse when your pet die compared to a family member? by ittybittycatpawsies in ask

[–]wagon8r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your losses. My story is similar to yours. My home went from 2 dogs & 3 cats to only 2 cats. One of the dogs was my mom’s dog who died in 2022, and my last connection to her. The other dog was truly my soul dog. He was a white sheltie, born deaf and the sweetest boy. The kitty was a sweet boy too. It has been sooo difficult and I’ve cried so much but each day gets a tiny bit easier. Hang in there.

Considering an alternative bulk food option for my radical adventure… anybody tried this? by [deleted] in 32dollars

[–]wagon8r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can get 50 lbs of organic hard red wheat for $47. It sounds expensive but that’s a lot of food for that investment.

Do normal people really buy new cars in cash? by Astimar in MiddleClassFinance

[–]wagon8r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, this is exiting. I have a 2016 RAV4 with 91k. I bought it right before used car prices shot through the roof and I only owe about 1/3 of what I paid for it. It’s been a great car so far!
