  • That’s easy. Let’s assume you take home 18,000 a month. To get the couch, cut your food budget in half and skip rent for 1 month.

    Using the extra $900 to hire a moving company to get the couch in.

    Next month, you going to face late fees Again, cut the food budget in half, and use the $900 for rent.

    Repeat for matching Tiger and Panther couches.

    If your landlord complains about the late and unpaid rent, just remind them its all for the couches. They’ll understand and leave you alone. That being said, be sure to place the couches so one can be easily moved in front the door whenever you’re there.


  • What are you looking to get out of your dumb phone experience?

    It sounds like you want/need the smart phone part, but not the doom scroll and spyware part.

    For that I offer the following advice;

    Step 1 is to delete all unnecessary apps. Keep 1 or 2 time killers, preferably puzzle games or something not related to endless scrolling, that you can start/stop anytime.

    If you have one, make an old phone your “entertainment” device. This is for things like Lemmy and whatever else you do fun/pass time. Leave it the bathroom or at your spot to relax. This way you can get your internet fix, but it doesn’t follow you throughout the day.

    Step 2 is to make sure you set your notifications right, only communication from actual people (text/call) and important stuff like work/bank emails should make noise. Everything else can shove off.

    On the spyware front, Pixel+Graphine OS is a good option, it does works with MS authenticator.
