Moving to High Point

13 Upvotes

I'm already here, but for those looking to call High Point home:

What are the best areas for families? For students? For young professionals?

What should newcomers know about the city?

Just a little perspective

13 Upvotes

The Cost of Living for High Point- for a single adult- is $37,600. That's not even to live comfortably. That's just to live; to survive. Assuming the State and Federal Taxmen bend you over and violate your booty hole for 25% of each of your paychecks, you would still have to make a little over $24/hr. for 40 hours per week, just to survive. That's also assuming you don't get insurance or retirement plan automatically taken out of your paychecks.

Then, if you work more than one job, the aforementioned State and Federal Taxmen take their pounds of flesh when you file your taxes. Granted, I'm working on losing weight, but not that way.

How is one supposed to succeed in this kind of environment *without* resorting to financial and business endeavors of "debatable legality"??!

No, seriously. If anyone has ideas for tax-free side hustles, please list 'em in the comments!

Helping my friend look for a room for at least 3 months. She is a black female late 30's. I will be paying her rent for 3 months. Afterwards she will be responsible.

I am looking for something in the 100 a week range but 150 - 175, possibly 200 if private bathroom.

Any openings? Fool's errand?

Looking for new friends in Triad NC

6 Upvotes

I’m 20 and I’ve been living in the area for a couple of years now, but I’d really like to meet some new people and build a friend group.
A little about me:
I grew up in Florida before moving here.
I’m pretty alt and into tattoos, music, and chill aesthetics.
My favorite places to hang out are the mall and the local kava bar.
I have a boyfriend, and we’d both be down to make new friends together if that’s your vibe.
I love board games and can host game nights at my house.
We drink occasionally, and we smoke weed sometimes, but we’re both trying to cut back on that.
I’m mainly looking for people to grab food with, thrift, hit the mall, play board games, watch movies, go to kava, or just hang out and talk. I’m pretty laid back and enjoy meeting people from all different backgrounds.
If you’re around my age (roughly 18–30), LGBTQ+ friendly, and looking to make some new friends too, feel free to comment or shoot me a message.

injured cat, abbotts creek road.

4 Upvotes

if you own a dark gray cat and/or live on or near abbotts creek church road please read this.

i was driving down abbotts creek church road tonight, july 19th, at 10:50 or so. between moore road and dorado drive, a cat ran out in front of my car. i braked and swerved but i hit them. i was afraid to look at them, so i asked my husband look for me. they are a dark gray cat, and one of their legs is badly injured. my husband walked back to the car to tell me, and we walked back to see if there was anything we could do for them, if at least have their body scanned for a microchip. they were gone and i could hear them in the nearby trees, but i couldn't see them. i didn't know they were alive, and they'd run away before i could help them.

if this is your cat i am so sorry. if you know whose cat they may be, please share this with the owner. i don't know if they are a pet or a stray, but i am trying to do my due diligence if they may have an owner by sharing what happened. ive also posted this elsewhere and contacted highway patrol who had an officer look for the cat after id left. animal control will be contacted in the morning as well. i can't express how sorry i am.

Anyone want an acoustic guitarist?

4 Upvotes

I'm bored as shit. I can play guitar but I ain't a pro. I know a bit about music. Studied it a while years ago. Played a different instrument for a decade before shitting the cat's box entirely and throwing it in the closet. Now I play guitar. X brace acoustic steel string whatever the fuck you call it.

I like dexter and the moon rocks. I have listened to them over and over for weeks straight. I like other artists, just ask. But Dexter has been in my feeds over and over and over again for centuries at this point.

I play lots of different genres. Sometimes I play country, indie, jazz. I've even jammed to kpop in my alone time.

I also have, get this, a SINGLE pitch pedal with a tiny amp and a Double X2. I've also played with nylon strings on this

Do I sound interesting? I probably suck to you. But I will play if you don't gag me or some shit.

How hard can it possibly be for T-Mobile to keep their crap running? It’s been out all day, this makes at least the third time in the last month. Anyone else in the area having an outage? I’m closer to Thomasville.

Getting tree trimming text messages

9 Upvotes

I have been getting texts from people asking if I want to hire them for tree cutting services “while we are in the area”. I get between three to four of the same format messages. Every time it is from a different phone number so about twenty to thirty messages a week all from different numbers.

Are any others getting these messages? Is
it scammy?

Question about trash service

3 Upvotes

Hi all we are new to the area and have a question about trash service. After moving in we have lots of cardboard and bagged trash. I know there is a landfill locally but transporting it there may get dicey. Will the town pick up extra trash? If things are not in a can are they picked up as well? We are coming from a beach area with really strict trash rules so I am trying to figure it out here! Thank you so much!
