I set the goal for a date once a week, but I know from last year that if I don't spend time really thinking about it we just default to sharing a meal.

Lot's of ramen noodle meals for the week as bread was too expensive..not kidding.

Brent A friend of mine that worked at a large hotel chain said the hotel did not contact or mail back personal items rather, waited for the guest to inquire about them.  

From that perspective, I would prefer a local company, who can provide a more attentive service compared to bigger chain like Vacasa.

Yeahhh, go ahead and give poverty a whirl for a time, getting your meal at a food shelf, dodging bullets on way to/from school, trust me when your really poor and broke, it is absolutely everything! 

The inflation we are seeing now results from supply chain issues and exacerbated by the quick rise in oil prices, problems that are somewhat transient.

@Andrew Johnson, I definitely wasn't planning on picking up any ball and chain purchases that would require money on an on going basis, but excellent advise!

What is the point of BRRRR and all these new ways when your chain is as strong as the weakest link.

My resident assistant job right now during the school year gives me free housing and meals at the dining hall, but I get no income and by contract I am not allowed to obtain another job or else I get fired.

And they should find ways to cut out gems which are not necessities so skipping eating out and cooking meals instead for instance.
