Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I canceled all our streaming services and Amazon prime. I canceled my phone service and opted for a $15/month plan (Mint). I buy a cheap phone, about $70 bucks. I asked my wife to stop buying me snack foods at the grocery store to save ~$50/week. All told I think we are not spending ~$300/month that I can now put towards our cars that are starting to break down. Someone said something about savings but I only cultivate dust and stones there.
Don't feel like you have to do without just because you're smart enough not to subscribe!

Thank you for being a hero
Shhh! Keep it secret, keep it safe
Nah share with everyone.
if your cars are totaled one day, definetely buy a toyota made around 2000-2015. those things are modern but still indestructible. (but definetely don't cheap out on maintenance, oil is especially important)
lol cars are really expensive
And basically required if you want to have a job in the US...
Especially with the war on work from home that seems to be going on at the moment.
Can't you guys just apply to work for European companies remotely wouldn't that be a workaround? I know my company has a few remote American employees and they're not totally useless.
Most companies would rather not perform the hassle of hiring international workers. Taxes are... Complicated. The only reason it makes sense is to save a shit ton of money - see India.
The other time would be for high demand skills that they can't staff locally which only applies to certain industries like tech, etc. Even then it usually only makes sense if they're getting top quality talent in those industries.
I consider myself to be a decent software engineer which is fairly in demand (even with recent layoffs imo), but even then I think I'd have a hard time finding a remote European job.
Oh and let's not forget that for most engineering positions the salaries are usually lower in European companies. Unless they'd be willing to pay relative to where I live, it would probably mean a pay cut. And I doubt even the benefits would make it worth it given I'd still be living in the US with our private health insurance system, terrible/expensive transportation, etc.
If it offered relocation then that could make it worth it but that's probably even more difficult to get hired for and has obvious downsides
European salaries are not as high as American salaries.
