I just bought a standing desk. Out of curiosity, do most of you buy arms for your monitors? Or how do you handle? I currently have my monitors on their stands then my laptop between on a stack of books. I feel like I need to clean this up. 😂

Had this since April, this has worked well for me. No complaints. VIVO Dual LCD Monitor Desk Mount Stand Heavy Duty Fully Adjustable fits 2 /Two Screens up to 27" (STAND-V002) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009S750LA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_IX97Fb5TT669F?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Bought a similar stand but it just sits on top the desk. Highly recommend 👍🏻

I have 2 single arms vs. a dual for my double monitors- got them off Amazon as well. I went down the YouTube rabbit hole for desk setup ideas and going a little nuts with the lights, accessories, configs etc.

I have two monitors on their stands, and then my laptop on a laptop stand to elevate it in the middle. Used to use a box and then got fancy with it after I spent the money on the standing desk.

I bought arms, app worth it. I got like 30 dollar ones on Amazon and they are really stable

I use the Amazon basics monitor arm. Best bang for buck and holds my giant monitor very sturdily

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs?

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.
