Once I started living on my own & having to actually pay for things, I figured out it was way easier and cheaper to take the time & try to fix something before calling in for help. I taught myself how to do some basic sink fixes and I am an absolute pro at unclogging drains. I know how to jump my car (this may seem like an easy one but a few years ago I knew nothing about cars, now I know a little bit) and will be taught how to change a tire soon. (OK OK I KNOW! I didn't have a car for a long time!)

I find this sort of work (plumbing, HVAC, fixing cars) so interesting & useful. I'm 29 and female and am seriously considering taking some classes or workshops on more useful skills.

I'm so sorry. Thanks for replying. My dog died in 2013, he was 15 or so. I laid with him on the couch and also watched the life pass out of him. He was my best friend and like you, he changed my life for the better. I still miss him every day. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you the best of luck! I'll definitely check out your book.

The question is... why were those trees removed, and what's to say they won't be removed again?

These non-profit debt management companies exist because our country prioritizes economics ahead of prioritizing the well-being of its citizens. Expensive student loans, high medical debt, and now we're losing affordable housing in cities because of conversions from multi-unit places to SFHs. Things that human beings should actually have a right to end up financially crippling them in the US.
