    Staying home and just sitting at the computer, either watching YouTube, a torrented movie/anime, or playing video games.

    I'm doing well enough even though inflation hurts. I'm trying to save money to be able to put a down payment on a house some dayshould the market ever correct. While my current living situation still affords me the ability to save I'm trying to take advantage of it for my future. Either I can maybe own some land and/or a house or I have a nice "oh shit" fund.

    Its been a few years and took a few years to get my finances back right. Now I'm working hard to get myself enough savings for a minimum of 6 months.

    Well I was working at that 2 years ago and had to replace the engine and turbo in my car, now I'm back at it again(though was glad to have some savings).

    I remember having that issue multiple times on my Galaxy S8. Interesting to see they never really fixed it.

    I use the same username for everything online, this one. It doesn't take too much to find out who iteally am. I don't try to "hide" in a sense online, I've always just believed it not putting things online I'll regret.

    IRL Ive always just gone by last name. But if you Google my name, nothing comes up for me since there was an NFL player with the same name.
