The Joys of Getting Around Without a Damn Car
So yeah. Me and cars? We don’t get a long.
And I’m not alone. Haunt the halls of lifestyle blogs and personal finance advice long enough and you’ll run into people who have gone to great lengths to go without driving.
Living a carless lifestyle is entirely possible for a lot of us, and the joys and benefits are many. Getting around without a car saves you a trunkload of cash (see what I did there?), it’s better for your health, and it’s better for the environment. It can even save you time, in certain circumstances.
Below I examine the joys and practicalities of carless modes of transportation. It’s by no means a complete list, so I encourage class participation! Tell me all about your car-free mobility in a comment.
Keep reading.

Why Does No One Care About Us⁉️
At the same time there are fundraisers from Gaza, Palestine as cooks who have collected more than 2,500,000 US dollars, but we receive a little support & difficulty we got there 56% of our goal £31,086/��56,000.
I'm working individually & I'm sending you my urgent appeal my friends to Donate to us so that We were able to get my family of 9, including 4 young children, out of the ongoing WAR on Gaza, Palestine, for 457 Days.
Please Donate to us & share our story with your friends. We can't survive without your help. Please care for us & don't leave us alone.
We lost our home, jobs & salaries 15 months ago & since October 2023 we have been living the worst days of our lives, as if we are in a terrifying, never-ending nightmare.
We haven't received any aid from international institutions as the distribution isn't fair & equitable.
The rest of my family who survived are now living in a tent that lacks all life, facing the sea, in the harsh winter and cold, and they depend on canned legumes to survive.
With your Donations, my husband, my two young children & I were able to travel. But we still need 25,000 to save my father, mother, three brothers & their four little children. You are their hope for life.

Please Donate now & help us, we are in dire need of your support & assistance.

Thanks A Lot 🌹

ok so I want to build up some funds for myself so if you're at all interested in commissioning me that would be sooo helpful!
I'll start with half body sketch with base colors coms for $15 for characters like so:
I'll have 3 slots open for now for both sonic characters and humanoids! I'll also try my best at drawing furies if commissioned to! :D
(0/3)

money doesn't buy happiness or mental stability but it is true that anxiety about concrete things is a lot easier to solve if you have money because the worst-case scenario is just... not as bad
take travelling: one time i was travelling and it turned out my accommodation booking had got lost so i arrived at the hotel to find it was booked out. an event in town meant there was no affordable accommodation nearby. if i had been alone, i don't know what i would have done, because i definitely couldn't afford to stump up the money that would be needed to find last-minute accommodation in that city. but the person i was with had a company credit card, and found me a hotel room. the larger your budget, the smaller the chances there will be nowhere you can stay
another time my flight was delayed, causing me to miss the last bus from the airport. i didn't have enough money to pay for a taxi the whole way to my destination, and my phone wasn't working well enough to let me call my accommodation and let them know i would be arriving after the normal check-in time, either. in the end my family had to transfer me extra money so i could pay for the taxi, and call the accommodation from their phone to pass on the message. if they hadn't been able to do that, i'd have been stuck in shannon airport forever (or at least until someone took pity on me) -- not great
a missed bus or a lost accommodation booking or a delayed flight or a suitcase going astray is a lot easier to deal with if the worst-case scenario is "I have to pay a bunch of money about this" vs "i am stranded with no way of getting to my destination/sleeping alone on the floor of the train station in an unfamiliar city/wearing the same clothes for a week straight with no access to my meds"
now sometimes there is no amount of money that will get you from one location to another because there simply isn't any transport and there is no amount of money that can buy things which aren't available to buy, which is why rural travel requires substantially more planning. however. it can still usually make it less miserable being stuck wherever you ended up / increase your options in general
(also, wow travel emergencies have got so much easier to deal with since roaming data, google maps, + mobile banking became a thing... so much less likely to find yourself lost and penniless, unless travelling somewhere super remote, in which case you've got bigger problems anyway)
#anyway in this situation i do theoretically have money that could solve some of these problems#it would just suck because i don't have so much money that i wasn't already worried about the cost of the trip#so adding additional costs would be a huge bummer. esp if not my own fault tbh#but the entire point of not being totally broke is sometimes you get to save yourself from being stuck in a train station overnight#brainweasel hotel#travelling

this might be nuts but I think my sister & I might try to do a trip abroad with the baby next fall
#I took on a couple extra last minute students#and suddenly I have enough money to like. maybe plan a fun trip#here is my secret dream: instead of giving lots of Christmas gifts#i kind of want to have a tradition of giving a small gift or two#but then having our big joint gift be a trip#which we would ideally take in the spring/summer#and as he gets older we can read books and watch movies about the place we’re going#and then when he’s a bit older he can help plan the trip#like help pick out where we stay and what activities we do#anyway#in college and grad school I got to travel internationally almost every year#even though I was making almost no money#but then I stopped for a long time (pandemic + after)#and I just sort of forgot that like#nobody gives you permission to travel#you just have to choose to prioritize it and save for it and plan it yourself#so idk 🤷♀️#I also think that like#it could be a nightmare traveling with a small child! but also alternately#it could be a great way to get him used to it early#and also my favorite activities while traveling are always just like#wandering around a new place#and spending time getting to know it#rather than racing from place to place#so that seems like a type of travel that could be possible with a kid#and anyway idk! like any high difficulty parenting challenge#i bet even just attempting it will feel pretty great#even if things don’t go to plan#anyway we are currently considering 3 options: Netherlands or Slovenia or Nice

I feel like a bad mom for ignoring my sick cat but he's been peeing on the floor despite the litter provided and he's only doing it while I'm in the room. he also refuses to eat unless he's fed but the ulcer in his mouth is gone??? so I don't get what's stopping him
#sighs i feel like getting a second degree in veterinary now#im ignoring him in hopes that he'll go back to eating normally instead of being fed expensive pasty snack sticks#bbyboy mama is going back home next year and planning to travel to the states pls let me save money#chrmz.txt

#im at such a weird point in my life. trying to choose between a phd and a doomed life as an academic and like just not doing that.#its crazy how not terrible i feel when im not in school. just give me tasks to do and i will do them. dont let me think.#but then im just avoiding my responsibilities. i dunno. i just feel like i would be happier with a structured job that ends when the day#is over. which is y my dad thinks i should get a government job. one of my former lab mates got a government job and he's settling into#spending the rest of his life out in Colorado. which is so weird. i dont kno how long ill be in the place im in now. will it b 4 more years?#or will it be only a few months? will i go back to school in the fall? its looking like yes bc i dont have a job lined up. but maybe ill#keep applying and dip out. let my dreams die in favor of balance and sanity. maybe some things arent meant to be.#its just so gutting. i was talking to my coworker this week. saying that im interested in so many things. i could have studied anything else#and traveled a completely different path. and a guy across the room was like: its never too late. but it feels like its too late. too late#to spend another impossible amount of money on getting a different degree. restarting on a second masters project. im almost 30.#im supposed to b saving money so that i can not work forever. but i cant do that if im just a student forever. so maybe i should just get a#job. god. but theres so much i still want to learn. and im in the perfect program for everything i thought i wanted. im in the perfect place#but everything's falling to pieces. whatever. i. just tired bc im on day 5 of work and have to go in for a day 6.#doing something i havent done before all day. but after than im going home for a week. so ill have lots to contemplate in the airport.#this is not how i thought things would turn out. but im glad im spending the summer working where i am. im learning lots on a human to human#level. and no one bleieves im 27 bc i apparently have a bby face lol. nope im 11 yrs older than u my 16yo coworker#unrelated

mum found out I quit my job and now she's panicking from her hospital bed.
#even tho ive been unemployed since August she thinks i just quit. i think of i tell her its been a while and ive been#looking after her basically as soon as i quit she'll maybe calm down#i only ended up telling her because my money is running dry because i spent it all looking after her and checking up on her#when i wasnt supposed to. and she needs to know that im running out of money 😭#but now i feel like the situation is worse. she keeps telling me to call my old job and ask them to take me back#but id rather find another job than go back there it got so bad i genuinely thought I'd die at that place#im not built for customer service + its not worth travelling 4 hrs a day for minimum wage#shes worried about my bills but ive actually been able to pay my bills since i quit 😭 because i saved#so much money up. when i was working i could've save because i had to spend half of it on transport costs and i could barely pay my bills#my mum thinks suffering is important like its supposed to happen so im not surprised she thinks this but now i feel like#i cant even see her because she'll spend the entire visit telling me to go back to my old job#even tho i told her I've been looking for work (which i have). i was when i was still working and i still am now. im just not having the#best luck rn

why is keeping yourself alive so expensive 😭
#how are we expected to save money long term when we're forced to spend almost all on rent/utilities/groceries/travel expenses/meds#like i admit i'm impulsive and financially irresponsible but the costs of basic things is getting fucking astronomical

my shoulder angel is telling me to make pesto with leftover radish greens and herbs and my shoulder devil reminds me that you can order egg rolls to your home literally whenever
#food#trying to be less of a little treat based lifeform because there are better things to do with money#like medical supplies and services and car repairs and donations and art commissions and travel and savings and help with tasks sometimes#on the other hand i sometimes crave a vegetable egg roll like it will right every wrong
