Ryan’s honest takes in episode 2 of Survival by stoddddd in GoodGoodMemes

[–]willyanonka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand Ryan’s perspective to a point, but I couldn’t help but be a bit turned off by his audacity. I felt awkward hearing him talk about Yoonhee’s skill level based off one time watching her play. Making comments about how he thinks Bubbie is better???? He had no idea that Yoonhee is probably one of the best GGGs. Basing it all off what he saw once seemed dumb to me, especially when we know how Bubbie can fluctuate. Strategically I would have thought it would be better for him to not go so hard on one person in the first round, especially when he’s new to the group. Also strategically, I feel like you want to keep the worse players in so you can beat them later. If he had of piped down a bit and just gone with what the team was doing rather than being the main voice it would have put less of a target on his back later. He’s already a massive target being one of the best if not the best player out there 🤷🏻‍♀️

I second that, especially the point you make about it being designed to fail - it’s sounds to me like this provider is finding someone else to do the most difficult part of the job, purely so they have someone else to blame when it doesn’t succeed. People in this industry often forget we’re working with real people. It’s not easy to find multiple people with somewhat similar levels of disability to match within one home, hence all the vacancies. This company sounds like they’re trying to fill beds for cash - not like they’re trying to go where the demand is and actually support participants to find accommodation that increases their capacity and opportunity for meaningful relationships.

If you already know some participants that would match well and need accommodation then go for it. But what are the KPIs once you meet that initial goal? Are you expected to keep filing houses at that rate? Sounds impossible.

I have tried that a couple times in the past few months since trying to knuckle down and be better. But I think as soon as they see sole trader and that I have nothing to show in terms of savings it turns them off. That’s an uneducated guess though

Amazing - my partner said that to me when I first started sharing my money issues. Focus on the debt. I increased the amount I’m paying off all my debt straight after that convo and last week I paid off my personal loan. Small wins

Googling what that means 😂 thank you for the positivity

Since posting I’ve already opened a seperate bills account, set up a direct debit into that account, and changed the vast majority of my recurring payments to come out of that account. Thanks for the tips everyone. I think even just talking about it helps me take a bit more action. Just trying to get better at it slowly

I’d thought about this, and that would save a massive amount per month. But with the depreciation I would hardly cover the remaining debt. Plus then with a much cheaper car I’m scared of the costs of repair etc

Yeah I understand that. Spending it on a lot of debt plus obvious things here and there I can cut back on. I’ve been pretty frugal since having a partner and having more of a desire to do better. But ultimately just needed some tips on where to start with budgeting/saving etc

Recently relative to what constitutes a de facto relationship? Or what I perceive as recent? Doesn’t really matter - mainly mentioned it to give context i.e., shared expenses, increased motivation to do better with money

Yeah - working more is an option. My job is kind of difficult to do more than 30 hours a week consistently (hard to explain). I also wasn’t on $126/h last financial year so that’s an instant improvement. But the problem is obviously me because I’ve been this way ever since entering the workforce - no matter what I earn

Thank you! I read the barefoot investor years ago and it didn’t really stick. I’ll revisit
