    San Diego county - Help - attach a solar panel

    I leased a minivan to sleep in until I could raise enough money to buy a van or RV. Unfortunately I'm disabled (one-handed) and I'm wondering if there is anyone who would be willing to attach 1 solar panel to the roof rack for me. I have a little bit of money to buy the supplies needed to do it...

    Is it possible to sell my arts and crafts on the road?

    Even before the pandemic it was difficult. Event / vendor fees, materials to go to the event, and at least a little bit of marketing locally. Depending on your craft, I would consider opening up some kind of store online and using the local events to make a little extra money and promote your...

    PostScanMail [emoji35]

    UPDATE: The CEO Helmy reached out to me regarding my experience yesterday. Helmy has refunded me the $14. Up until yesterday (3/27/2021) I had nothing but pleasant things to say about PostScanMail. All of my mail has been scanned and handled professionally. The location business is very...

    PostScanMail [emoji35]

    Went through my account and discovered they have been sneaking in extra fees in March and they overcharged me in both February and January. Never had a problem with them in 2020, so I didn't bother checking the monthly subscription receipt email. They figured I would never notice. They were...

    PostScanMail [emoji35]

    I've been with post-scan mail for about a year. No problems until today, when I received an email receipt for $2 for picking up my mail. First time I'd ever gotten this receipt so I contacted ask why. They told me the location now charges a fee. I look up my billing statements in their system...

    When did ordering online become so complicated?

    I'm on the opposite side. I could not live in an apartment or van life without technology. I do this for convenience sake and so that I always have a record of my financial transactions. I have 4 different email addresses * Personal *Business *Purchases *Most likely junk mail. If I decide to...

    When did ordering online become so complicated?

    American Express. I used to work as a receptionist for Amazon and we stopped counting how many calls we got from American Express customers because their credit card was used fraudulently. American Express had a major breach but they refused to acknowledge that it happened. I read one article...

    Strange SSA deposits

    I would call social security disability. They can very well ask for that money back at any given time. Even if it's more than 7 years. I received a letter recently telling me they overpaid me 10 years ago. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Spending your stimulus check?

    I paid off my credit card and then put the rest towards the no interest payments for my laptop... I bought a good computer to ensure I wouldn't need another one for at least 3 years. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Bank for full time van living

    Definitely agree with this. I absolutely adore my credit union. They are really on it when it comes to any kind of potential fraud purchases. I made a purchase for a cell tower booster after midnight and by 8:00 a.m., I received an automatic call asking me if I had made that purchase. They...

    Bank account issue

    Another option could be online only banking. They're still pretty new but they're federally insured. https://money.usnews.com/banking/lt-online-banks. Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

    Looking for a Remote Chat Support job

    Don't let it stop you from getting into van life though. You can travel to different places doing different contracts and work yourself up to doing remote. You might even get lucky and get a remote position without any experience. It's rare but it does happen. That happened at the contract I'm...
