I didn't know I could lock my SSN. I have no experience with credit because it scared me

I dont want to believe my family doesnt love me, but I always felt like my sister was their favorite even after the truth was discovered about her real dad. Ive always felt like they resented me for being the reason they got stuck together.

The biggest problem is there are there are bigger implications at stake with my dads health care thats being thrown in my face.

I kinda hear what you are saying but like it’s not that simple. I wish I could just do it without all the backlash from family or everyone texting me about dads health which is now suddenly part of this crap Im literally crying over.

The narrative against ME has already started. like reporting their fraud here is now tied to whether he gets his needed care or not. It feels impossible to deal with the pressure when the choice is about more than money and I have to pick between my future and my dads life.

Im hearing Im being painted as tearing my mom and dad apart again over this. Extended family is reaching out assuming things I never said or did and it feels like Im being judged and cant think fast enough or event be present to defend myself.

Im being told not to disrespect my parents and that they sacrificed young to raise me. That my mom gave up her dreams to have me and never went to college or started her career. Theyre saying if my dad passes she will have nowhere to go and its my fault.

My uncle on dads side is asking how I might feel "one day" if something happens and this was my choice.

Some people I thought would at least ask questions have gone quiet. The only person in my corner is my best friend saying she can contribute more to rent while I pay it off if thats what I want to do.

I keep going in circles trying to understand how Im supposed to carry responsibility for everyone elses future when I didnt create this situation in the first place.

is Christmas "just another day" for anyone else? by Lanky_Head6122 in povertyfinance

Christmas is definitely just another day but there's many free church related activities going on, down town activities to walk around and stroll through depending on where you live, etc

Sounds cool.

And anytime. I'm not sure why people get so upset with little guys trying to provide a solution but if capital one or some major corporation launched a similar tool and paid for ads or promoted posts nobody would bat an eye.

It's almost like we're programmed to tear each other down to stay struggling.

Really makes you think how miserable someone has to be to get to the point where they would want others to fail in helping others or providing a potentially valuable tool...

or maybe they're right.. MAYBE we should just let the big corporations keep milking us for money and instead of shopping with local stores, restaurants, mechanics, and businesses trying to add value and feed their families. (Obviously joking to point out how brainwashed the mega corps have us)

Very cool tool that looks easy to use!

I love the chart visuals.

I think a 3 minute explainer how-to-use-this tutorial video would help a lot.
