  • Helps to be small and eat the same thing every day

  • Correct

  • The figure you see there is after tax. Though it also includes $3K of my tax return.

    I make $18.50/hour full time. Not including a profit sharing check at the end of the year which, last year, brought it up to an average of roughly $30/hr but it obviously heavily depends on the years’ profits.

  • Letting the water run when ur not even in the shower is insane. I would have a problem with that. In fact if they were my friend, finding that out about them would be the beginning of a declining friendship.

  • Gotta get roommates to get rent that low

  • Sure

  • I did that for a little bit, but i prefer to see my actual expenses at a glance. My savings is just income minus expenses.

    Unfortunately the income includes $3K tax return. So I’m really only saving like $190/month. But at the end of the year I get a profit sharing bonus. 100% of that is saved.

  • Heres one

  • Turns out I’m not THAT frugal lol. Some good tips here though. Thankfully I don’t pay for water.

    I’m not sure about utility rates changing depending on the time of day where I live. But my showers are only 5 minutes long anyway. And laundry / cooking / dishwashing is almost always done after 7pm anyway. I have 2 roommates so I can’t control what they do though. Unfortunately I do have AC running when I’m at work for my cat. And my roommate insists on heating the house warmer than I’d like. I feel like 65 during the day and 60 at night is fine though.

    I don’t shop sales cuz I almost exclusively shop at Aldi (they don’t do sales). But I should still look into stocking up on stuff that freezes well if I ever go anywhere else.

  • Umm have you SEEN my cat? I could never

  • Roommmates is the way… my rent is $2775 but I split it 3 ways.

  • I just spent $1000 on two AC units mostly for my cat tbh

  • Frugal @lemmy.world

    On track to spend under $30K this year.

  • Yep my elementary school teacher’s cat died in the dryer too. Hearing that as a 5 year old, I have always kept in mind cats must stay away from the dryer.

  • cats @lemmy.world

    Keiko

  • Definitely plan to listen to my body as much as possible. I have a tendency to overwork myself when it comes to exercise. But hopefully running is a bit easier to judge.

  • Thanks! Yeah I think eating will be the most annoying thing for me to do. I’m bad at eating enough. And good to know about walking. I kinda thought if it comes down to it, walking isn’t too bad to bring my HR down. I’m using Brooks Ghost Max 3 right now and I like them so far but I don’t have much to compare them to. Saucony Triumph was my first running shoe. They honestly don’t feel too different. Lots of cushion.

  • I’ve been almost exclusively running on concrete lol. Though there is a HS track very close so I can do that more. It’s just so boring. Luckily I haven’t had any shin splint pain and I’ve gotten to easy 5k’s so it’s looking good so far.

    One thing I haven’t looked into is the best way to hydrate/fuel during a run. I haven’t gotten to a point where that’s necessary as long as I prepare properly. But I’m pretty sure anything over 10K it’s a good idea to bring something. which means I should probably buy something to hold stuff

  • Thanks a lot! I really hope I don’t shit myself. That sounds awful lol

  • Running @lemmy.world

    How do u train for a marathon?

  • Ah that makes sense. I do love when things get associated like that. That’s how traditions get started sometimes. Eg: watch this show every June lol.

    I’m now 5 episodes in and I don’t know WHATS going on lol. Love the uniqueness of it though. The animation is different. The long quiet pauses are different. Super relaxing pace. But not a relaxing premise.

  • cats @lemmy.world

    How old do you think this ragdoll is? Current pic of her is in the comments which is 3.5 years after these pics. She’s currently 11.2 pounds.

  • Running @lemmy.world

    How did you train to get your heart rate lower?

  • cats @lemmy.world

    Enjoying her outdoor time.

  • Anime @ani.social

    Anyone have one or two anime that they watched and were surprised it wasn’t more popular?
