🚨MAJOR URGENT EMERGENCY 🚨

It never stops! Haha! TL;DR: I need $1000 By Sunday, November 27th so I don’t lose my job because of a car accident

paypal: asrielelijahking / venmo & cashapp: thelordfool

and I still need the $700 from my last post.

I need a rental car so I can get to/from work while I wait for insurance to take care of this situation. I am NOT at fault for this, more below.  CW FOR CAR ACCIDENT + INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH IN READ MORE

On Monday November 21st as I was driving home from the first day of my new job, a car from the center lane (whose driver was talking on his phone) pulled as if to make a right hand turn and collided into my car, as I was in the right hand lane (there were three lanes - center, left, and right). I was going 40 MPH at the time of the incident and sustained minor neck, back, and arm injuries.

The collision caused me to veer off the road and another car was hit as well due to the negligence of this driver. My transmission + alignment are busted but I don’t think the car will be totaled. Due to the holiday, insurance isn’t bothering to send an adjuster out right away, or if they have, they haven’t said anything to me about it.

I want to book for 3 weeks while winter sets in and we can get this settled. I’ll also be needing to book chiropractor appointments around my work which adds to more stress, but as I’m not at fault, insurance will pay for that + I am getting a lawyer. I’m hoping I win enough to cover my expenses but I don’t have ANY money right now. Please please please share

I wasn't going to do this but fuck it!!! I need some help!

My car was broken into and (we think) attempted to be stolen. The good news: they failed and nothing else of value was taken!!

The bad news: My car is currently totally unusable.

The worst news: My insurance can't get anyone here until 1/4 to look at my car and I can't get a rental which is covered under said insurance until 1/3 because of the holiday.

I'm just looking for a little help to 1. Help me afford an Uber when my coworkers can't help me get too/from work and 2. Help me pay either for my deductible to get this thing fixed (or a down-payment on a new car if it comes down to it).

Literally any amount will help but I'm shooting for 600 to at least help get things started!

A drunk driver hit my car (and a few other cars) last night, which is sooooo cool 🙄 /s

He hit a pregnant lady and her angry stepdad, a guy who lives two hours away and had come up for Thanksgiving, and me, on my way to pick up friend-with-cancer for dinner. The police stuff took about two and a half hours and we finally managed to eat around 9:30 pm.

Called off work and forfeited my holiday pay so I can spend all morning making phone calls to skeleton staffs who won't be able to do anything until Monday at the earliest.

It looks like I won't have my car back for some number of weeks but at least the rental car is affordable. A friend who understands insurance bullshit says I may be able to have it subrogated to the other party, although the cost to me would be about the same anyways.

Although when I called the other guy's insurance, they said they couldn't "determine liability at this time." And while I understand that the rep was required to say that, it's still so 🙄🙄🙄. She also called it "a little fender bender" which. Bruh, there is extensive damage to my car and it's non-drivable. I got hit by a goddamn pickup truck.

Physically and financially I'm fine, emotionally I'm annoyed as shit.

My next two shifts are night shifts that my friend and I signed up for together, and we're going to be betting breakfast after, so I'm looking forward to that.

You can learn a lot from watching “Planes Trains and Automobiles,”it’s timeless!

Check your update on your map app

Maybe get the rental insurance

People around the Holidays don’t take lightly to bad attitudes

Pack lightly

It’s cold in the winter snuggling is approved

Did I say it’s cold dress appropriately

Don’t forget anyone this thanksgiving

Don’t travel alone

And most importantly kindness goes a long way

Lastly Happy Thanksgiving and kick off your socks and enjoy Planes Trains and Automobiles

I've been keeping an eye on this and they FINALLY updated the production dates - TW is now listed though January 23, 2023

Wow! That is quite late! WIndy finished filming on Dec. 1st and even if they finished early, that's still at least 4 extra weeks that TW would have had to film (if we allow them a three week break for the holidays). If they take 10 business days per episode (which is still on the high end for the CW), that's 2 whole episodes after WIndy finished their 13. An entire month of rentals, payroll, insurance... I can't imagine that the reshoots early on took an entire month, so they must have lost time somewhere else. Either way, if the ratings don't sink them, this will.

Playing The Numbers

Dear Future Husband, 

I hate money. 

I mean, obviously I don’t hate what money can get for me, I just hate dealing with it, calculating it, and, well, dealing with it. Did I mention dealing with it?

I’ve had a business idea for a while (several actually, but one in particular) and since I’ve been having some weird stuff happening at work recently, I’ve been putting more time towards the research and development of said business. 

And everything is money. 

That probably sounds stupid, because it’s a business, so of course it’s about money - net profit is the end goal, so you have to be serious about your expenses and find every possible way to bring in as much cash as you can, or else what was the point in opening the business in the first place?

But at the same time, money is exhausting. 

Itemizing everything that would be an expense so I can know how much to get for a start-up business loan is insane. 

The business is kind of a hybrid of service and product. Without actually detailing what I’m working on, I’ll use this as an example: 

Imagine you have a bar that also offers games. So you could go to just buy some beers and hang out or you could go and learn a new game or join a game.

So you’ve got the drinks and snacks, which are products, and you charge a sitting fee so people can come and play the games. 

In this case, you have no idea how popular this will be, right? So you have to guesstimate how many people you think you could get in everyday, maybe more on the weekends and holidays, for party rental, etc. Maybe you even offer classes so people can learn new games. 

And you also have to calculate how much of everything you need, so which brands of alcohol are you going to buy, what quantity of each do you need (well, no idea who’s going to order what, and do you even have a stock room big enough to have enough of all the things?), you also need the cups and the glasses and the snacks (which snacks? how many of each?) and the bowls and the coasters and the napkins and the towels and cleaning supplies and purchase all the games and then maybe you invest in a 3d printer in case game pieces go missing and you want to print some replacements, etc. 

That doesn’t even include the initial setup of the place, which will most likely have to be redone if the location wasn’t previously a bar or had party rooms, and even if it was a bar before, is it oriented the way you want? 

So I’ve been itemizing. So. Many. Things. 

Maybe too many things, but thorough is better, no? 

At this point, based on pure speculation for how popular my business is going to be (because honestly, who even knows?) my guesstimation is that between “sitting fee” (also membership for people who want to come in regularly and want to save a bit on the “sitting fee”) and “classes” and “party rental” and “drinks and snacks” I can bring in around $400,000 a year in gross profits. 

That seems impressive. 

As someone who grew up pretty much dirt poor and has never had more than like $1,500 in my bank, and even THAT is a rarity, I can’t even fathom bringing in close to half a million dollars. 

But then you have to calculate expenses. 

And between lease, payroll, internet, phone, insurance, security, pos system, marketing, bookkeeping, office supplies, food supplies, cleaning supplies, etc, I’m at around $250,000 in expenses without even including loan payback.

And that also doesn’t include renovation of the space, which would depend on location, but still probably have to come out of my pocket. 

And I know not all businesses make money the first year. And I know there’s an initial investment of a lot of money that becomes less as time goes on (spending thousands on games but then the games belong to you, so your investment in future games will be less out of pocket annually), but also... 

I need to make money. 

Some people have the freedom to start and close businesses on a whim, but if I put my time and energy into something like this, I need it to be successful because I literally cannot afford anything else. 

I was trying to guesstimate how much money I personally would make from an endeavor such as this, and I conservatively chose $60,000. 

First of all, that’s so much money!

Second of all, that’s not enough money. 

So let’s discuss why that is. 

Let’s start with taxes:

I played with the calculations myself and then used a tax calculator from Forbes and got a different amount in the same price range. Because I could be doing it wrong, let’s use the Forbes amounts. 

On a salary of $60,000 a year*, I’d be paying around $5,968 to federal taxes and $2,534 to state taxes. 

That leaves me with $51,498. 

First things first, 10% to tzedaka. That’s $5,149.80 right off the bat.

That leaves me with $46,448.

As soon as I can afford it, I’m moving out of my current situation. I don’t know if I could buy a place right away, but I need space to breathe, so I would look for somewhere to rent in the meantime. Rent in my area has been around $2000/mo lately and going up. So let’s guesstimate $26,000/yr just for rental. (And that’s hoping it’s furnished. If not, I’ll have to pay more to furnish the place.)

That leaves me with $20,348. 

Then we have to include utilities. At the very least heat/ac, which in my area is conservatively $2200 annually. 

That leaves me with $18,148.

Let’s talk kosher food. Right now I pay a large chunk of the grocery bill and it comes to at least $200/wk. I should probably be rebudgetting and adjusting this, but in the meantime, that’s around $10,400/year just for food for the family. If I lived on my own, I’d guesstimate cutting that at least in half, if not by thirds. So, let’s be go wide here, just to be on the safe side and put it at $5,000 annually.

That leaves me with $13,148.

When it comes to cars, I would need a new one. By new, that means new to me, not actually brand spankin’ new. A lot of places I’ve been looking show that a car lease would be around $475/mo plus a deposit for a car that isn’t even new. Most have contracts for 2+ years, so I’m looking at a minimum of 24 months on a contract. So for one year, that’s still around $5,800.

That leaves me with $7,348.

I have credit cards to pay off that I’m appalled to say have gotten ridiculously high, and although I could do higher payments than usual without paying off the full amount, I would get some major peace of mind. Regardless, if I just paid about $75/mo to each one for the first year, that’s $3,600,

That leaves me with $3,748.

Not to mention if I start making that much per year, my student loans wouldn’t be deferrable anymore and I’d have to start paying those. 

And I haven’t even factored in insurance. 

This doesn’t include regular toiletries, cleaning supplies, gas, the moving costs to get all my stuff to a new place and/or furnish it with things I don’t have like couches and kitchen utensils... just basic other living expenses. 

And without a safety net, I’d be stuck, so I can’t even take that $3,000 and invest it in anything.

$60,000 a year and I’m still barely making it. 

That’s insane!

Like, it doesn’t even make sense! 

And the thing is, that it’s easy to say “so just don’t _____ for the first year” but let’s play out those scenarios:

Don’t get a new car.

Ok, so I’m either stuck still sharing a vehicle with MotherLivelyHeart (which is an absolute joke - have I told that story?) or I have to uber/lyft all the time, which is also not cost effective. Add to that, I can only share the vehicle if I live in the same general area as MotherLivelyHeart, and that would depend on finding a place within reasonable distance. 

Don’t get a new place.

Ok, so I’m stuck in the same position I am right now, with MotherLivelyHeart breathing down my neck all the time. If I’m running a business like this one, I will not be able to function if I’m still living with my mother. She always has “ideas” and feels like my ideas are part hers too, so if I’m making money here, she has to insert herself somehow to make money also. Everything is an idea for money and I need to be able to breathe. I need space. I need the nagging to stop. I need the micromanaging to stop. I need to be self-sufficient.**

Don’t get a new place by yourself - find a roommate.

At the moment, I’m so done with living with people. I don’t want to be beholden to anyone and I don’t want anyone being beholden to me. I don’t want them to be inviting strangers into my space, and I don’t want to have to deal with the dynamics of “who’s been drinking my milk” or “who’s stuff is in the washer when I need it” or “whose turn is it to take out the garbage” or “who didn’t refill the toilet paper” etc. I just need space, especially if I’m running a full time business at the same time. If I were getting married, that would be different, but that’s not even an option while I’m dealing with a startup, so... yeah, no. 

And these may seem like excuses, but I know myself and I know that any of those living situations put me in a position of being extra-stressed. And if I’m stressed, I’ll implode and stop going out and stop showing up and stop doing what the business needs and it’ll close, making me not only a public failure, but also still broke. 

So it’s exhausting. 

I know I need a mentor and I’ve been looking for someone who could guide me, but even something like the Jewish Women Entrepreneurs charge money to be a part of their little gang, when all I need is someone to guide me through this whole thing who has experience and expertise and will help me avoid major pitfalls I can’t even see because I’ve never done this before and don’t even know what to look for. (Is it a vine or a snake? Not a clue.)

So it’s a lot. 

But the money isn’t. 

Which is insane! (I think I’ve mentioned that already...)

And I know that the net profits are technically also mine and that I wouldn’t even be on the payroll as an employee per se, but at the same time, I need to be able to reinvest most of those profits back into the business and I want to be able to put myself on a reasonable pay scale. 

But it’s no wonder people are complaining about inflation and tuition costs and everything. At $60,000 a year, I, as a single person, would barely be making it. And these are with conservative numbers! Odds are some of the taxes would be higher, gas prices fluctuate, I might have to pay for water wherever I live, etc. 

There are so many unpredictable contingencies and at the end of the day, I’d still be barely scraping by, despite making significantly more than I do currently.

I know some of these expenses would go away after the first year (like furniture  and kitchen utensils are usually a one-time buy), but at the end of the day I’d still be paying almost 1/6 of my take-home in taxes and 10% of that to tzedaka (which would be very exciting because it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to consistently pay 10% of my salary to tzedaka). And still around 55% of my salary to a roof over my head and food on my table. 

And what would that mean for my employees!?

I want to pay a livable wage, especially if I can find trustworthy people who will be full time employees at this joint, and I know their expenses are none of my business, but if I manage to find someone able to work for $50,000 a year, is that even a livable wage!? And if I pay them less, will they have to find other jobs to supplement what I’m paying them? And if they’re stressed with multiple jobs, are they the best employees? Would I have to look for college kids who are living at home to work for me? Do I even want to deal with that population of GenZ in the work place? 

I know I’m an over-thinker.

I know I stress about the wrong things at the wrong times and all that, but these are genuine concerns of mine. 

And this is just the research phase! 

I don’t even have an official location or full business plan or appointments for financing or any of that!

But this is all still an investment of time and energy and I need to know that the outcome will be worth it. 

I’m hoping it’s all rainbows and sunshine at the other end, but I know better and I need to be at least partially prepared. 

It’s also crazy to be making huge plans like this while there’s so much global uncertainty and we’re also supposed to believe that Moshiach is coming today!

Like, why would I be investing time and energy into something here when we’re all going to fly to Israel on the wings of an eagle and live happily ever after there?

And all this as a single woman in my 30s. 

My family knows about this business idea, as do a couple of my friends, but I don’t do well when there’s pressure from other people. I can’t handle the expectations and assumptions, so I haven’t told anyone I’ve been doing this kind of work lately. 

I just kind of want to do it and then let people know. 

So I’m really alone in this. 

It would be so amazing to have a partner to bounce ideas off of. It would be so amazing to have a partner to work with. Someone who I could trust with everything from my heart to my money. 

But I don’t. 

And it’s possible that going through this process will make me enough to be self-sufficient and put me in a better mental health space to be able to open myself up to the possibility of marriage. But all of that is conjecture. I just kind of have to do it. 

I just wish I had some kind of decent support system to help me through this right now. It’s very lonely and very stressful and this is before anything is even officially in the works. I can’t imagine how much better/worse it’ll be. 

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

-LivelyHeart

-----------------

*This would come out to about $5000 a month, or $1250 a week. Guesstimating I’ll be working about 60hrs a week, that comes to just under $21/hr. Not a terrible salary, but if I work more hours than that, the $/hr goes down. 70hrs of work/wk puts me at just under $18/hr. 

**The crazy thing is, I still do majority of the shopping and cooking. I can have an insane week at work and come home every single day and still have to “forage” for food in the fridge and pantry. Despite living with two other people, if I cook, I cook for everyone, if they cook, they cook for themselves. I cook for myself, I clean for myself, I put gas in the car, I pay for oil changes and repairs... the only benefit to living here is not having to pay rent, though MotherLivelyHeart has initiated conversations previously inferring I should be paying rent despite paying the electric bill, which has been going up. Unrelated, but kind of related, have we discussed how when it’s humid outside, it rains in my room? I’ll have to look back at previous posts to see, because that’s a whole story. And it’s been on-going for like 4-5 years.

[elistodragonwings]

I'm usually skeptical of how much influence supposed internet "challenges" actually have, but having now been the victim of one yeah, this one's real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Challenge

The internet tells you to steal a car and you go do it? What is wrong with people? I hate to be all "kids these days" but seriously, what is wrong with people? This is not normal teenage behavior!

They stole a disabled person's only car while they were traveling out of state for the holidays, and they did it in the middle of the day in a location with obvious security cameras, for fun?? FUN?? Our friends had to get a rental car to go home and leave their dog behind because they couldn't bring it in the rental, and there's been so many of these thefts in the area that they can't even find a place to do the repairs or even one that has the space to store the car for the month+ while waiting for the parts. The damage isn't even that bad, yet getting it fixed is so difficult, there's a risk the insurance will just declare the car totaled rather than have to pay to store it somewhere, and shipping the car the 500 miles back to their home is out of the question entirely.

How is this fun? Teens sometimes push boundaries, try to get away with illegal stuff, I know, that isn't new. But this isn't shoplifting or underage drinking or taking dangerous risks because you don't fully grasp personal safety. This is a felony. I'd have less outrage if it were stolen for money or parts because that's comprehensible, but because TikTok told you to? What the hell?

🤡 🤲

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

Honestly it's not objectively funny but nothing will ever top my unpublished seventh day chapter that was just this one line:

"On the seventh day, Melanie rested."

But also I'm quite partial to "miss Audrey's sweaty wigs"

🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip?

You can have a long one because I'll not get round to this for at least a few months.

It had been a thoroughly miserable day, even without the rain bouncing noisily off the window panes. Ruth watched as the droplets splattered heavily, the sky outside dark and ominous. She could see by the reflection of the streetlight that the road was already under standing water - an inch or so she would guess - and the trees were being buffeted by the strong winds, their branches leaning dangerously close to the house. Ruth sighed. At least if one of them did come crashing through the roof, the insurance payout would be a good excuse to finally leave.

The tourist season in Kendal had continued to flourish, but Ruth’s bed and breakfast had not. The once glowingly reviewed hotel had not reached capacity once over the summer, a combination of the rise in holiday rentals nearby and the obvious disruption of the construction crew next door. Ruth had even found herself refunding several guests after the builders had picked up their tools at 7am one morning and seemingly hadn’t stopped until nearly 10 that night - a legally unchallengeable problem for a location that people usually visited for some peace and quiet. Not that she hadn’t tried. The council had told her their hands were tied, the contractors apologised but insisted they were just following orders, and the new owners themselves had practically laughed at her down the phone.

And so Ruth had found herself, for the first time in a long time, ready to give the whole thing up. The bank wanted more money that she didn’t have, and meanwhile the house kept throwing up problems that needed a cash solution. The real overwhelming factor, though, was the boredom. Ruth thrived on the chaos of a full house, but the dwindling guest numbers had left her deflated and uninspired, and finally ready to throw in the towel, after 10 long years of building her business.

How to Find the Lowest Priced Self-Drive Car Rentals in Trivandrum

Finding a self-drive car rental at the lowest price requires a bit of planning and research. Here are some tips to ensure you get the best deal:
