Cheapo. All the way. There are few things that fell better than paying off a student loan early.

If you're scared of being fired then load up on cash and pay the minimum monthly payment for the time being. Cash is king until your situation is more concrete.

Cheapo is what I did. Then 2 years later I upgraded to something a little better that was still cheaper than I could afford with my raises. You will notice the small bumps in lifestyle every few years FAR more then splurging now, and you will save a ton in the process

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
