I got myself a 10 gallon with some guppies. It was nice for a while but the light timer malfunctioned and left the light on 13 hours a day and now I've got a green water outbreak and a bunch of my pretty plants withered. I've kept fish before and it can be a nice hobby, but it often devolves into a chore once something malfunctions or you get lazy.

yeah I�ve gotten that feeling for sure. was thinking about a 20 gallon with neon tetras and some live plants.

get as many amano shrimp your tank can take and your algae problems will go away after a few cleanings. also you need a timer for light.

before I moved my tank was perfect. I never bothered to clean it after awhile because the water was fine and algae was taken care of. I would pretreat water about once a month to refill the tank. I donated all my shrimp , eels , and fish to a local store.

I�m going to start up a new tank pretty soon. I�m no expert any any means but I found a good formula for myself and I�ll stick to it .

this is pretty much where I stand. if somehow my area hasn't burned down/dried up/planet isn't on fire, then probably the ol' mutated cells will take over and wear my body like a puppet. if somehow that hasn't happened.. well.. i'm probably not retiring just so i can be the 80 year old grouchy terror of the workplace

https://smartasset.com/data-studies/salary-needed-live-comfortably-2024

quote:

While cost of living premiums and inflation metrics capture the price increases in goods and services, they do not necessarily account for all the additional costs needed to live comfortably � such as a buffer from the stress of living paycheck to paycheck.

The 50/30/20 budget recommends that for sustainable comfort, 50% of your salary should be allocated to your needs, such as housing, groceries and transportation; 30% toward wants like entertainment and hobbies; and 20% toward paying off debt, saving or investing. Applying the local cost of necessities and taxes to this rule, we can derive the pre-tax salary needed to live comfortably in 99 U.S. cities.

Key Findings
On average, an individual needs $96,500 for sustainable comfort in a major U.S. city. This includes being able to pay off debt and invest for the future. It�s even more expensive for families, who need to make an average combined income of about $235,000 to support two adults and two children without the pressure of living paycheck to paycheck.
A family must make over $300k to raise two kids comfortably in six cities. Two working adults need to make a particularly high combined income in San Francisco ($339,123); San Jose ($334,547); Boston ($319,738); Arlington, VA ($318,573); New York City ($318,406); and Oakland, CA ($316,243) to raise two children with enough money for needs, wants and savings.
It takes the most money to live comfortably as a single person in New York City. This breaks down to $66.62 in hourly wages, or an annual salary of $138,570. To cover necessities as a single person in New York City, you�ll need an estimated $70,000 in wages.
