What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

  • Woah, the coffee one is billionaire-making advice! /S

    • What's a low-stakes, achieveable goal on your bucket list?

  • High yield savings is a HUGE thing here! We live in great times for your money to make you more money while still being risky free.

    • It's like a foodie version of a fleeting love story.

    Jump

  • What's the reasoning for this? Are people setting up stalls to make ends meet temporarily or do they get shut down by someone?

    • Automakers must build cheaper, smaller EVs to spur adoption, report says

    Jump

  • I will never understand how the same people that made the Volt and the Bolt made the Hummer EV

    It's such a different style, architecture, and platform that you practically can't share any parts. So whatever they learned from 10 years of selling EVs went out the window.

  • I'm so confused why they don't sell the id4 as a sporty hatchback and call it the GEI or something. It's the same platform, just tweak the suspension and add some more beefy motors, kinda like the whole idea behind the GTI

    • What's a seemingly harmless habit of yours that you struggle to break?

  • New way to get off in public? Double trouble if you're into voyeurism as well!

  • When I'm baking bread, I have to set timers for myself to make sure it doesn't overproof or burn in the oven.

    The feeling is wild. I sit down, set a timer for 1-2 hrs, start work, and with the snap of a finger I'm torn out of my zone by my alarm sound.

  • Inside my coat closet...not the first time I'll struggle getting out of one

  • Not with that attitude

    • Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them

  • I used this as a pilot program in Pittsburgh when I lived there. It was a hand scanner running some sort of Android based OS but largely the same thing. You scan your store card to unlock a scanner, scan your stuff as you walk through the store putting things in bags, then you walk to a kiosk, pay, then walk out.

    I used to get so many dirty looks from people who thought I was stealing a whole cart of groceries until they saw the receipt print out.

    Doing it directly via an app would have been even better!

  • I say, let them waste their time on me!

  • One cool thing I've found is that you can scan your card on the reader at any time.

    I walk up to the machine, scan my first item, tap my card, then do the rest of my scanning. When I hit "done"/"pay" it just processes the card and prints a receipt

  • Giant Eagle stores in Pittsburgh have self checkouts connected to a full size conveyor belt. Kinda like a normal cashier, but the belt is after the scanner kiosk, not before it. That way you could scan a ton of stuff and have it move out of the way on it's own.

    The rest of that company did dumb stuff, but the scanners were smart!

  • The theft is a feature, not a bug in my eyes!

    Alcohol isn't so bad where I'm at, I just scan it first to give the worker some time to scan their badge and let me continue

  • Another shameless plug for Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app/)

    I tried YNAB, but found the UI confusing. Lunch Money is super friendly and still gives me a great overview of my finances

    • Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea

  • Yes, but farmers also need to know how a CLI works and how to solder microcontrollers in order to get their machines working without forking over their firstborn to John Deere

  • Blender is also a good one if he's into making games. It's super difficult to learn but I spent hours and hours trying when I was younger
