What do you do to support yourself?

[Apocalipstic]

Times are indeed tight, I have almost been thinking about going back into Food and Beverage or large Concessions management which is very well paid, but I am not sure my health is good enough any more.

Cynthia asked me last night if maybe we need to switch to a cheap coffee brand. GASP.

I wish At Last lived closer to help me appraise the Estate Stuff from my Dad so I could start selling things and have some idea of worth.

Rockin, do you know of a good website for old record player needles? I have tons of really cool LPs I want to listen to.

G'morning Mzzz Confection!!!

My stepmother looked and looked for a stylus for her old turntable and finally found one here: TurntableNeedles.com

For Christmas, one of the gifts I got my Pop was a digital turntable with the software and USB cables needed to dub all of his old Hawaiian music from LP vinyl over to CD. He's been making a huge project of doing this ever since!! Have you thought of dubbing your music over to CD?? The kit I got Pop was only something like $189, which was a hella lot cheaper than I thought it'd be. I found it at the Nellis AFB BX, but I'm sure they sell them comparably at other places, too.

Anyhoo, maybe you can find a needle at that site??

G'luck!!!

I like the VS Ipex bra. It's the best support yet.

I am a compliance officer at a financial services company. We took a 30% reduction in revenue in 2009. It has been stressful. I love my job. It suits my personality. At work I am the Compliance Domme!!

I moved this year to a less expensive place. It was a big step down but I actually like it a lot now. I can walk lots of places.

The budget is bare bones now. I have lots of child related expenses that I cannot save on so I have to do with less. Actually I am happier now then I ever have been in my life. Part of that is having a partner who is totally on the same page as me regarding finances.

This recession has taught me that disposable income is not necessary to be happy.

Great thread!!!!

Go to Ebay and research what has sold... this can be a good way to get an idea of what the market might yield. You can find sold prices within the past year. If you really have a lot of stuff, there are websites you can use to get appraisal info. from certified estate appraisers... or find one near you. If you have genuine antiques, sometimes, selling them via commission is good. just find out your area's usual & customary percentage for this.

Have you tried amazon.com? They have a subscription program for groceries. It's amazing; you can buy by the item or by the case, the shipping is free, and you tell them when to send the stuff, monthly, every other, every six... not only that, if you hit a crunch and need to put something off, you can tell them to skip a shipment.

I discovered them when absolutely no one in town was selling the supplies for the Breeze cat litter system, and I got hooked pretty quickly because it's so much cheaper than even the Big Gray Box stores (which did finally start carrying the supplies again). You do pay sales tax, but no shipping, which means I even save the $2.50 it would cost me to go to a BGB store on the bus---AND I don't have to struggle to lift and carry heavy stuff on the bus.

I dunno if you would find your brand of coffee there--they have tons of stuff, but of course they're more limited than most grocery stores--but they have so much stuff, and some of it green, like Seventh Generation cleaning and paper products, that I think it's worth a quick look, anyway.

I also save a considerable amount of money buying all our pets' flea meds at Amazon. It's even cheaper than 1800PetMeds, yanno? I just wish I could subscribe for those, but oh well, I'm just glad to be able to get them!
