Fair enough. Good luck

Can you not just buy the baking molds you want? There has to be thousands to choose from on Amazon or similar

How thick of a wall do you need? Just get a foot long piece of straight stainless exhaust tubing from summit racing and make them from that.

It’s pretty basic advice but the snowball method Dave Ramsey advocates for just works. It’s extremely difficult if not impossible to have multiple financial priorities simultaneously on a finite income. You have to pick one thing and attack it until it’s gone. Then roll on to the next one and repeat. Since your car loan is the highest interest it makes sense to start with that.

I understand your desire to build savings but you’d be amazed at how much easier it becomes to savw when you don’t have all kinds of loan payments to make. Remember that spending less is the same as making more so your move to a cheaper apartment (however undesirable that may be) is a smart move. Remember that these sacrifices are temporary, but you’ll never get ahead if you refuse to make them. I can’t tell you how many women your age I’ve seen just living paycheck to paycheck into their 30s because of this so you’re well ahead of your peers in that sense.

It’ll be hard but your on the right path. Be patient with yourself and stay the course. You’ll get it done

Anywhere east of the Appalachian mountains is New Jersey as far as I’m concerned.

A difficult job to be sure. I don’t know how you do it honestly. Regardless of what happens your mental health will probably improve if you can get out of being someone’s punching bag for a living. Best of luck man

It’s like hiring someone who’s 5’5” and then placing a requirement on them to be 6’3”. The concept is laughable when they’re ultimately powerless to meet the mandate.

Being punished for someone else’s inaction seems like a pretty ridiculous situation to me. I don’t know what they expect you to do, you have no real authority to force anyone to do anything.

Are your peers having similar problems meeting their quotas? You can’t be the only one given the current environment. Maybe you’re just a target because of your relatively short tenure.

I wouldn’t quit unless I had something else lined up but in the mean time I’d certainly be looking for another line of work. Other consideration is that if you quit you won’t be eligible for unemployment.
