How do you save money on everyday stuff in nyc? I often use things like rush tickets and lotteries on Broadway, too good to go, Claim (btw $10 back on Starbucks in Claim app - 4TK9QB). Flashfood doesn’t have any stores near me. Any other suggestions?

Definitely doing that. Saved a lot on alcohol when going out that way.

Wondering though if there are any other sites or apps out there to save money on stuff you’d spend on anyway.

Abt the same, but I feel like the main thing is the rent

Yeah can’t do much about that (other than downgrading)

Serious question- since team matching is taking so long. Is it worth taking another offer for now and switch to Google few months down the line? Not the most ethical I know, but I can’t keep on waiting… and I can’t stand another second of staying in my current job

My school deliberately cut the number of classes that the specials teachers teach so that we could be building subs for quarantined and sick teachers (we are hybrid). So... I teach fewer classes (which is a relief because specials teachers teach way more classes than core teachers normally) but I'm pulled for most of my planning periods to babysit classes. I need my planning periods so I can redo my ENTIRE curriculum... and I just feel unappreciated, used, and nothing more than a babysitter.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
