Hell yeah! I'm really happy to see things getting better for you.

I have to be honest - and maybe it's partially a skill issue - but I really can't. I'm running a deficit every week. I'm stuck in rotating CashApp loans. Every week I also end up borrowing 20 to 50 from friends, to be paid back on payday. So wash, rinse, repeat. And I have to visit mutual aid way more often than I'd like. So the honest answer to your question is a negative number, as far as available. As far as what I spend, I don't really know. And I guarantee I'm not spending it smart when I'm stress buying the one meal I get that day because someone came through. So I just get cheap takeout for like 10. Which I know is awful, but I do think it's understandable. I'm trying to do better.
Holy shit, this is perfect. I really fucking appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thank you so much! I'm saving it to my desktop so when I am ready I can pull it back up easily. I just started a second job, so hopefully within the next month or two I'll finally be able to focus on actually living and saving and budgeting instead of being worse than hand to mouth.
Thank you, again!
I did leave out some important details, I see now.
Unfortunately I've been barely getting by. Assume I have nothing ingredient wise. I have some seasonings, but that's about it. I'll definitely have to build up a supply of essentials. I have some pots and pans. Nothing fancy, but I make do. I have an oven, stove, and microwave.
I'm southeast US. COL around here I feel like is kind of high, but it's no big city. There is a Publix (main grocery around here), an Aldi, Walmart, and Asian market all within a couple miles, which is good because I rely on a bicycle and the bus.
I have no dietary restrictions. I'm trying to move my diet more towards no-meat but I'm not there yet. That said, I welcome meatless suggestions.
You got me ๐ In my meager defense, I posted this right before bed and had already smoked. I left out a few details I should have included.
I definitely fixated on specifically mangos for a while last year. They're tasty.
Oh good, I'm too old to be expected to understand wtf this new bit is.
Antici...
But in all seriousness, I know the feeling you're describing, but I also don't have a word for it. It's not a great feeling.
...pation.
Hi, I vape. You're not wrong at all. One day I will quit, but for now it's a psychological crutch (and physical addiction) that is less bad for me than the pack+ a day I smoked for like 9 or 10 years. I didn't take your message as an attack, for the record. Just giving context for the rest. I would never intentionally blow vape in anyone's face and have gone to great lengths to avoid doing so. The only exception to this has been with partners and friends where it's an in thing.
Those same people would have probably blown cigarette smoke in your face, but there was such a negative social connotation. For some reason, people who vape seem to think that because it's not smoke they are magically allowed to blow it in your face now and 'look cool '. For some reason not enough people are decking these individuals, so we're not building that negative connotation properly.
Maybe some of these people are too young to even know that blowing cigarette smoke in someone's face is rude? I'm in my 30s. That feels like more benefit of the doubt than I'm willing to give the overwhelming majority.
Jeez, stop bragging. Some of us are lonely.
Wanted to drop an update and thank you again. I bought some lima beans, rice, an onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and some mustard greens. There's some things I'll change next time, but this will definitely put me in a better position food wise. It's really fucking good!
