I appreciate it. I have some prospects.
And I’m not in the worst situation… I have a reliable vehicle and quality sleeping bag.
I should be fine, but I’m just scared.
I’ve interviewed for several rooms over the last months.. Just nothing planned out yet.

Thanks for the rad suggestions!
I already have two jobs and three sources of income. I don’t have much spare time, and when I do I know I should be sleeping.

If I could ask, do you have sign up to Facebook to use it?

Sounds like my first few years here.
Takes a certain discipline, so props to you.

I really appreciate it. I’ve been super fortunate having people that look out for me.
I have clear goals, but I’m not sure how I’m gonna get on sleeping and functioning through 10°F. I’ll have to run the sometimes engine and I’ll give myself away.

I like to think a lot. But I don’t have many paper certificates to back it up.
My parents went to prison when I was young; I was an emancipated minor who left high school to work; didn’t have much parental guidance or wisdom shared.
I own a successful business; have technical and engineering skills; work two jobs…
Just simply don’t make enough money to afford a room.

I’ve though about it, but I’m not sure how to start.
Is there a trial a period to gauge interest or something? I’ve never looked at any metrics for businesses like that.

I don’t need to live in Boston proper, but at least in the area.
Unfortunately I didn’t pursue my education how I needed to.

I know it. It’s a trip seeing everyone’s perspectives.

I have two jobs already that I really like. One should turn into a career that earns almost ~75k.
Not sure how to enter into the class of people that can afford the cost of living in this region.

Thanks for your suggestion! This has been on my radar for a few years.
I know I can technically just Google ‘hat store Boston’, but do you have any recommendations by chance?

Oh yeah. Those Smart Wool base layers…
It’s literally just my fingers and toes!

Some of the beanies do.. Those I don’t wear to often. I’ve since found some that are looser fitting, but the ‘hair pulling’ sensation is still there.
It’s a bizarre sensitivity.

I do. I wear heavy contractor grade stuff from Work’n Gear.
I have a beanie that probably weighs 10oz…

Wool glove liners with Kinko or Mechanix work gloves.
Smart wool or Darn Tough socks.
I’ve been in MA 12 years, but still can’t get this right! I think the evidence points to poor circulation.

Maybe another data point… Most beanies feel like they’re constricting my head (even ones that are loose fitting).
How / why is wearing a beanie painful?!
