I maybe have ~$5K of stuff... max. Maybe $10K if I inflate the costs of replacing my stuff by a lot, but I don't have much. God forbid, but it would not be the end of the world for me if I had to buy everything from scratch.
I can afford to pay for renter's insurance, but is renter's insurance even worth my time?
For $100/year I can get (through State Farm) I can get $25K in property, $500K in liability, $5K in medical payments to others, ~$2K in business property (I do some 1099 work and technically have a business), and have a $500 deductible. I couldn't make it any cheaper but that's the most coverage I can get for the money (I played around with the settings). However, the quote page doesn't mention anything about costs to put me in a hotel in case my place is inhabitable, or really anything else other than those numbers. That would probably be something I talk to an agent about.
Other insurance companies quote more but they give me values for other coverages upfront whereas with State Farm I have to go talk to an agent.
Yes renter's insurance might provide some injury insurance, but who might I invite over that would trip (or something) and then sue me?
I am on a double digit floor in a large apartment complex; I find the chance of being robbed or being flooded low. Furthermore, I live literally right next to the fire department. Really the only natural disasters I could be concerned about are tornadoes -- I am in an area with regularly tested tornado sirens to provide some perspective.
Thanks!
Do you have people booking late January/ February already? Or are most bookings same month/ or only a few weeks out?
I am a renter but this happened to me on my very first trip on Turo. The host made me cancel the booking because the previous renter did not return the vehicle. He didnot want to cancel it himself because he did not want to lose his “all star” status. Now I am dreading the same thing for my next trip. I dont want a reputation for cancelling trips. Is there no way Turo can waive off penalty for host for cancelling a trip when the previous renter is running late?
ive been out of school since the pandemic started and i haven’t read one book. i feel like it could be because i was forced to read but i also was reading for fun when i wasn’t in school (like on break). or just my depression coming back. it’s frustrating, i used to absolutely love reading and now the idea of reading seems so boring and time consuming. yet i spend hours on my phone looking at useless knowledge or watching tv. i don’t have friends that read either which i think contributes a small amount to the problem but i also didn’t have friends that read before either. how do i change this? i want to go back to reading weekly because i really enjoyed it. i miss writing too but i think all the writing i did in college made me not enjoy it anymore. idk, i’m just sad about it. i just can’t seem to pick up a book anymore

Didn't Shannon do the same with her daughter last season to get into Baylor? (Better write a book to get into college, sweetie.) This 1%er behavior is sooooo Lori Loughlin. No wonder it's difficult for regular high school seniors to get into elite colleges.
Edit: Thank you all for your help!
Let me know
Hi, My cousin just started college she is a single mom, and can't afford the prices of the college books. Dose anyone know of a website or resources she could use to get the books.
I have yet to read a M/M book that takes place in a school setting so I'd like to try it out. I'd prefer there not to be sports or bullying involved but aside from that, anything is fine. :)
So my first concern is mainly preparing for the calculus sequence and strengthening my foundational knowledge: so AOPS algebra I and II, Durell elementary geometry because I didn't pay attention in HS geometry, but I remember the basics, possibly Durell elementary trigonometry (may be overkill for calculus, but will this help me in my math degree further along?), introduction to inequalities by Beckenbach. The table of contents for AOPS algebra II shows that inequalities and logarithms are included, which I know is very important for calculus. In this case, I am not sure if the inequalities book would be necessary or an overkill after AOPS.
To start my journey toward preparing for pure maths, I would begin with CV Durell's revision course in general mathematics and try some of the problems from Gelfand's algebra.
other books I heard that might be good in my preparation for calculus and pure math: Kiselev's geometry I & II, basic math serge lang
I have a friend at The Morgan in Sellwood who rents a 1-bedroom for $1375 yet online it says they're $1495+. Another friend down the street pays $1295 including all utilities for an older private 1-bed. Another friend in Sullivan's Gulch pays $1295 + electric for an old but huge 1-bed.
What's your rent this year?
(I already live here btw)
(Mention of SA, no detail).
I have so many mixed feelings about this. Like of course, good for her! Young author with heaps of fans yay!! But at the same time, she wrote a book about college rape and virtue signalling when myself and a few of my other friends in the same year were dismissed from College because of almost the exact same plot. I was told I was starting drama, I was told I wasn't resilient enough, I was told that I wasn't trying hard enough to fit in to these elite circles that operated on networking and millions upon millions of dollars in donations.
She was head girl at one of the most exclusive schools in my city. Her parents are extremely wealthy. She had tutors and peer support and wasn't kicked out of college after a year of battling the worst mental health crisis of her life.
I'm bitter and I'm hurt and it's really painful seeing peers read her book and celebrate it, when her "writing what she knows" is literally a privelaged person writing about the awful awful things that happened to HER peers at the same time she was flourishing. It's very hard to celebrate what is obviously a well written book when it is taking advantage of the stories of survivors who weren't given the same grace.
I remember sitting across from her in an english lit class, and being almost paralysed by anxiety, yet she was speaking to the tutor like an old friend. Why? Because he had literally taught at her school. He was gushing over germanic influence in the development of the english language, and in a class of 20, and I felt so alienated by the assumed knowledge that just seemed almost impossible to teach myself in the space of 8 weeks. She had been given the heads up. She scored the highest in the cohort. I absent failed because of my SA case being dismissed and told by college administrators that I wouldn't be able to afford it anyway, so may as well move on.
Not at all bitter that my childhood dream of being a published author (which was quashed several times when I couldn't afford the publishers fee as a kid, then my manuscript was accidentally permanently lost) feels like it will now forever be compared to the "new voice of a generation", knowing that I've had almost a decade of my life wasted because of what happened in that first year of university.
