Personal finance in Oakland

What things cost, how people budget, what they'd do differently. Straight money talk, zero judgment.

Money gets easier when people are honest about it. Somewhere on Peachy a thread is comparing actual grocery budgets, and someone who just relocated is breaking down what the move really cost. Ask for straight money talk and that's what surfaces for you.

Oakland has always run on word of mouth, and Peachy is built for exactly that. Say you're looking in Oakland and posts from people across the town reach you, from Temescal to Fruitvale to the Lake. Say how far you'll travel and the rest of the East Bay comes with it.

Say it in your own words

You describe what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend, and your Feed shows the posts from your friends, mutuals and communities that match.

“Show me honest budgeting threads with real numbers.”

“Tell me when someone asks a money question I can help with.”

“Surface posts about moving to Oakland and what it really costs.”

How it works

  1. Join in a minute

    Sign up with your phone number. Peachy is a chat app: your people, your group chats and your communities.

  2. Filter it, if you like

    Your Feed starts as everything, newest first. Turn on a paragraph filter, a few plain words like the examples above, place included, and only matching posts show. Turn it off any time.

  3. See what matters to you

    Your Feed shows posts from your friends, mutuals and communities: all of them, or only the ones that match your paragraph. Public posts from everyone else stay under Public, and your private chats are never part of it.
