  • The other side of that coin is the cost of commuting to work, assuming you live where you work presently.

    You’ll have to consider gas and/or public transportation if you’re commuting 2 hours daily for work or school. That doubles if your girlfriend will be commuting separately. Insurance may also increase if they consider your communiting distance, but definitely for annual mileage.

    On top of commuting, have you considered your utilities such as gas, electricity, and internet?

    That $500/month, is it for an apartment to yourselves or a room in a rooming house? If it’s a rooming house, there are other costs to consider like stolen food, cleaning and hygiene products. Lost time due to roommates not cleaning up after themselves. Other problems like the other people being psychotic.

    If it’s for an apartment you’ll have to yourselves, just consider why it’s only $500/month over and above it being an hour away. Is there heavy crime in the area? Is there high joblessness in the area? Is it falling apart and/or moldy? Are there multiple apartments in the same town as low as that or is this a one-off, which makes it even more suspect.

    Generally speaking, if possible you want to keep your housing expenses under 33% of your net income. So even $1k/mo you’re under that. 66% of your net income not going to housing expenses means you should be able to spend decently on food, wants, other needs, and savings.

    Take time to consider all that and look for free financial literacy education. Being financially literate goes a hell of a long way to not putting yourself in the shit.



  • Psilocybin is the bees knees, highly recommend. Not even in a “get chooched” kinda way either. Use a little to make a tea and just exist after drinking it.

    Do something safe that requires concentration, like drawing, writing or playing an adventure video game (light on the action, no horror, really as little violence as possible). You could also straight up do nothing but exercise mindfulness with a long meditation.

    If you’re worried about the legality or safety of acquiring it, use a prepaid credit that you buy with cash and order it online.

    Microdosing is also totally reasonable, bearing in mind that there are stains just like there are with weed. Some will do a body buzz, some will boost your energy and some will boost mindfulness.
