Debt Dumpers 2022

[Tygerlilly]

Plan on having another big garden this summer. Still have some vegetables in freezer but about out of pickles and salsa. Have whole beef in the freezer, an entire hog in pork chops and sausage, and at least 30 lbs of chicken breast and leg quarters. I also try to keep stocked with pantry staples and shop sales fort those items.

Yes! I started my seeds for a few things last week so they'll be ready to transplant soon. I got a couple books and a starter kit for canning for Christmas so I'm looking forward to trying my hand at pickles, green beans, salsas, and tomato based sauces (spaghetti and pizza).

Soooo... a neighbor said she was looking to hire a full time, work from home position. Monday-Friday 8-5.
I have zero exipierence but she said it wasn't a problem and could work with it. It would be a minimum $5,000 more a year.

I've never been too bold when it comes to jobs. The one I have now is safe, it's in food distribution for Walmart. It isn't going anywhere and I make okay money at it. I just don't always get my hours and there's literally no room for growth in that building. But y'all, I took a chance and applied. So fingers crossed it works out.

It can't hurt to find out about it. As long as you don't burn your bridges with Walmart, you could always return if it doesn't work out with the job your neighbor offered. Most employers are having a hard time filling jobs so chances are good it will still be available a few weeks later. Of course nothing is guaranteed. I don't know anything about working from home with young children in the house but it sounds like it would be challenging for me. Then again, working from home would be challenging for me even without children home. lol. I am too easily distracted by what needs to be done around the house.

A lot of companies will require there to still be childcare when working from home. So something to consider when choosing a remote job.

 

[Tygerlilly]

This one does not. Everything is done by email, so no phone calls and work is all done on computer.

$5000/year raise =$416/month more, minus taxes. Heck yeah! That helps a lot to pay down debt!

I need that job

 

[ruadisneyfan2]

I need that job

Me too. Sitting at a desk all day, 0 mins commute instead of 45 mins each way.
I could do that for 10 more years.

Only Tues and Im ready to drop. I convince myself it’s good to be moving around all day or I’d be the size of a hippo.

Dream job! I'm tired of phone calls and meetings.

That's how long mine and hubby's commute is now (so one of us is driving that far 7 days a week). The money saved on gas is worth it too.


I have an interview for it Wednesday! I wasn't nervous until just now, but now I'm definitely nervous. If it works out, we decided I'm going to schedule off every Monday for a month or so (which I can), and keep my warehouse job for some extra bulk money. We're planning to move at the end of the year and all that money can go directly to the house fund.

I don't think they can legally require this since they aren't supposed to ask you whether you have children at all during the hiring process. That could easily lead to a discrimination lawsuit as it would mostly impact women. They might want you to have it but how could they ever ask for proof?

They can legally require it. It’s not discrimination from a legal sense unless they ONLY require it from women.

Where I am they're not allowed to ask if you have kids, which means they can't require proof of child care. It's considered a roundabout way of asking if you have kids. Not that pesky legalities stop some employers from asking anyway...

No updates for March since I was driving with my 6 year old on Friday to pick up pizza and pick up came through a stop sign and slammed into the passenger side of my car. I’m just glad the 6 year old doesn’t sit on that side of the car.

Hope everyone is ok!!!

Hope everyone is ok!!!

We are; thank you

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until just now that my Explorer is a unibody; I thought it was a traditional frame. Even though the rear and front passenger doors don’t shut without some lifting and force right now, I’m really, really hoping they don’t total my car. I don’t want to buy a car right now with these crazy prices.

I am glad you are all ok.

Jumping on the bandwagon really late in the year because I finally decided to get serious about dumping the debt. Last year I had paid just about all CC debt off and then bam a series of awful events occurred. Now I rolled everything into a 0% card. It's amazing how fast it goes off without the interest.
