Rental Car Toll Charges

TIP: Do your research before booking and compare rental companies. I received a message from my daughter 24 hours before her flight to New York in regard to paying for tolls in a rental car. Her route was from JFK to Maryland and couldn’t work out her options. I have previously written about the Orlando Visitor Toll Pass – Save up to 80% and Illinois Tollway on 2023 road trip States 46 & 47…

Gonna be kinda all over until the end of the month. Silo put in his two week after a lot of abuse from his superior, like utter misandry and discrimination due to his ADHD. I don't use buzz words lightly, this woman deserves it.

Though this is better overall for his mental health, and when he does get another job, it's a guaranteed 20k at minimum increase, he doesn't have another job lined up. Due to his mental health, I did involve his family and his parents are not gonna charge us rent next month, so we're good for now. However, if it takes longer than that, OOF.

I may advertise my commissions and adjust the prices soon, to kinda make a cushion, but I ain't gonna die if I don't get any.

((I'll reply to the things I was tagged in tomorrow, it's quite hectic atm ahhhh))

In our current society (in North America and much of the western world) we can't completely avoid capitalism, but with some work and dedication we can reduce how much we have to participate in it.

Building community is hard, and it often requires a lot of up front investment in time and energy before you start seeing returns on that investment. I know not everyone is in a place where they can make those expenditures without getting anything back right away which is why it's even more important for those of us who can to start building sooner rather than later.

When you have a healthy, thriving community of people you can start withdrawing yourself more and more from reliance on a broken capitalist system. Yes there's mutual aid within a community but what's even more exciting to me is the option of participating in a barter/trade economy because it's so often more empowering for disabled folks and other marginalized groups that struggle in a capitalist economy.

And even more importantly than that, it's how we can survive a political landscape that is openly hostile to us. It's as impossible to avoid the fallout of the current political situation as it is to avoid participating in a capitalist economy, but being part of a strong and healthy community can at least help mitigate some of the harmful effects.

Neighbours sharing produce from their gardens can lessen the chances of food-borne illness as a result of lax food safety regulations.

Creating, maintaining, and sharing resources that help marginalized groups can help protect vulnerable people in your area when the larger resources are being dismantled or when people acting in bad faith are pretending to be a helpful organization.

Communities have more leverage (and resources) when it comes time to put pressure on local government to make progressive changes

As communities grow, empathy and compassion for the people in the community also spreads and that can help create allies against the bigotry and prejudice some of the community members face. When you're in community together with someone it's harder to depersonalize them. They aren't [insert oppressed group] member, they're the person who walks your dog and brings you beets in exchange for piano lessons, or the person who loaned you a spare tire so you could go to work and when you got home that evening they'd fixed your flat tire for free because they had the time and some spare material laying around from a repair they did on their own tire.

It's going to be really easy to give in to despair in the coming months and I'm not going to lie and say you can survive it. Some folks won't. I'm not going to lie and promise if you can make it through that things will get easier, they might not!

But if you can hang on I can promise you there's a chance things will get better, and I can promise you there's a whole heck of a lot of us out there trying to make sure it does get better. I can promise you that building community will help you survive when things start getting harder, and I can promise you that community can be a beacon of light in dark times, a bastion of hope in a desert of despair.

I know you're tired and I'll understand if you can't keep fighting, but I really hope you've got enough resilience left to hang on long enough to find a community to be part of.

Mom called me a shitty roommate today bc after months of her telling me to rent a uhaul (too young to do so) and then flaking out on me whenever I asked her if we could it on x day, I gave up on trying to get my bf's heavy TV and dresser and ordered a mountable tv, instead of buying more storage totes so that I could add to the ever increasing stack of totes in our guest bedroom

[lilgynt]

When I think too hard about how I can't afford to both rent an apartment AND make my car payments even though I work a 40+ hour work week in finance at a multi million dollar resort:

I wonder if I can save money on food when moving out by just getting a 30 day supply of “just add water” MREs and cutting the portions in half? The only other food items I’d get would be flour and rice (in bulk), and maybe eggs, so I could pay only around 200 dollars in food for a supply of two months or potentially longer. It would work wonders for my executive dysfunction, not having to cook much. Plus, I could save money on gas by not having to drive to the store very often. I could also grow food indoors.

[daforged]

i work really hard to not compare myself to others but it’s so bizarre to me to see other people my age like. going out all the time or travelling or even just living on their own. what do you mean all your money goes to just your own living expenses & your own fun and you aren’t the financial backbone of your family. every time i take vacation days a coworker will ask me if i’m going somewhere and its like no lmfao do you think im made of money. i dont think about it much because it doesn’t really do anything but upset me but deep down im so resentful of every other young adult who doesn’t have to pay their parents bills and just gets to blow their money on whatever the fuck whenever the fuck

[despite-everything]

WAIT IM SO HAPPY??? every time i've moved states and had to register a car, the car was new to me, so i'd have to get a new title and all that. so i kinda assumed that when you move states, you gotta pay like almost $800 to register your vehicle, and while i've just now got that money set aside for when i move, i was bummed it was gonna cost so much. but i was just reading up on it and it seems like since i don't need a new title or anything it's only going to be around $50-70???? thank fucking god. that makes my life so much easier

[crowcryptid]

Just found out that I will be stuck in atlanta for 7 hours waiting for my flight. bad.

[onyourstageleft]

one of my favorite parts of being an adult with stable & disposable income is doing little things for my friends. husband's best friend tells the group chat that he lost his job? hubs and I message each other at the same time to go "imma send him money for snacks." we've been playing fortnite with our partner and her sister & her sister is the only one without battle pass? consider it gifted. these people have been here for me for the last 4+ years and we were all riding the struggle bus together in college, it makes me so happy to be able to give them a little bit of happiness especially when I don't get to see them in person that much anymore

[fingertipsmp3]

Literally NEED my job to send my contract through so I can find out how much I’ll actually be earning and budget for rent and stuff because my god if I don’t move out I’m going to [redacted]

Budget Cars for Rent: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right Car for Your Needs

When planning a trip, one of the most important decisions you'll make is how to get around. Renting a car offers freedom and flexibility, allowing you to explore your destination at your own pace. However, finding the right budget cars for rent that suit your specific needs can be a daunting task. With a variety of options available, it's essential to consider factors like cost, size, and the purpose of your rental. This guide will help you choose the perfect rental car for your next adventure.

1. Understand Your Travel Needs

The first step in choosing the right budget car is understanding your travel needs. Consider the purpose of your trip: Are you traveling alone, with family, or with a group of friends? If you're traveling solo or as a couple, a small and fuel-efficient car may be the best choice. For larger groups or families, a more spacious vehicle like an SUV or minivan may be necessary to accommodate passengers and luggage.

For business travelers or those staying for an extended period, comfort and functionality should be prioritized. In this case, opting for a sedan or a premium car might make your journey smoother without breaking the bank.

2. Consider Fuel Efficiency

When looking for budget cars for rent, fuel efficiency should be a top priority. Renting a fuel-efficient car can help you save money on gas, especially if you plan to cover long distances. Compact cars and hybrids tend to offer the best fuel economy, making them ideal for city driving and short road trips. Always check the fuel policy of the rental company to avoid surprises, as some companies may offer full-to-full fuel options, while others may charge upfront for a tank of gas.

3. Check for Additional Features

Even when renting a budget car, it’s important to consider the features that will make your driving experience more enjoyable. Some rental companies offer budget-friendly vehicles with modern features like GPS navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and rearview cameras. These can be particularly useful when navigating an unfamiliar city. Before booking, review the car’s features to ensure it meets your expectations and adds value to your rental experience.

4. Compare Prices and Offers

To get the most affordable deal on your rental, it’s essential to compare prices from different companies. Look for promotions and discounts that might be available for longer rental periods, or during off-peak seasons. Many affordable car rental Dubai companies offer deals, especially if you book in advance or through online platforms. Keep an eye out for hidden fees, such as charges for additional drivers or insurance, to avoid going over your budget.

5. Size and Comfort Matter

While cost is an important factor when choosing budget cars for rent, don’t compromise on comfort. If you’ll be spending a lot of time on the road, ensure that the vehicle you choose has enough legroom and luggage space for your trip. Economy cars are great for short, city-based trips, but for longer journeys, it may be worth spending a bit more on a larger vehicle that offers extra comfort and space.

Conclusion

Choosing the right budget car for rent is about finding the perfect balance between affordability, comfort, and functionality. By understanding your needs, prioritizing fuel efficiency, checking for useful features, and comparing prices, you can ensure that you get the best deal possible.
