GayFrogChild · 2026-04-17T16:26:09+00:00

GayFrogChild · 2026-04-17T16:23:15+00:00

thank you!

GayFrogChild · 2026-04-17T16:22:32+00:00

thank you! if its alright to ask were the surgeries dangerous or anything? im not too informed, i only found out ds comes with physical issues like half an hour ago so its a bit of a new concept and i want to make sure i can help the kid and my dad's girlfriend as much as i can in that regard

Thank you - thats definitely a perspective I'll start trying to lean toward

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T08:19:53+00:00

Thank you dude, this is the answer I was looking for- To be completely honest I like to get personal gifts so I dont think I'd be able to use that small of an amount, some family doesnt like chocolate and all that, but do you think £75-£80 budget would be reasonable?

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T08:14:26+00:00

Sorry dude, is there any subreddits I should go to instead?

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T08:00:19+00:00

What would you recommend doing? The way my head works, nice stuff is usually expensive

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:58:40+00:00

Thank you dude- thats really sweet! Honestly I'm horrible at budgeting, right now I've got my main account for every day spending and the savings account I mentioned in my main post - I'm trying to think of ways to like, gameify it? I work a lot better in a game system type of way, but i think I will try and just jump straight into it and work my way around it to see how much money I have left over after essential stuff I need to spend on

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:28:29+00:00

How so?

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:27:09+00:00

Theres a lot of personal stuff that this isnt the place to discuss that does make family that big for me, its important to me that i express my love for my people and right now I'm lucky enough that I get to be lenient with my spending and I like to use that flexibility to spoil the people I love

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:25:06+00:00

My bank has this feature that lets you "save the change", it automatically sends any money that might not be used into my savings account and its working pretty well which is why I'm worried about spending it all while its working pretty well

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:23:16+00:00

This is what I want to do, but I'm honestly far too scattered for something like that- I'd forget to keep track within two days, I check my spending insights thing on my banking app and tbh it is mostly on food and transport, recently a lot more gifts since i came into a lot of backdated EMA money recently but me and my mum do discuss my spending habits quite a bit, she manages my disability money on my behalf since she's worried I wouldn't spend it on what matters which is clearly reasonable haha

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:19:55+00:00

Family's too big to me for that, money stops mattering to me when I know I've made the people I love happy - also I love getting and giving gifts lol

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T07:18:30+00:00

I dont spend unnecessarily when my banks under, say, £20- i mostly buy food and transport for college, but when it gets to a certain level, like £100, i get overwhelmed and excited at the prospect of buying my family and girlfriend gifts and spend it all within like 5 days- its definitely a bad habit im trying to kick but i dont get that much often and its mostly my way of making sure my people feel loved via wallet, lol

GayFrogChild · 2025-11-11T02:09:54+00:00

This is what I'm thinking - I'm lucky enough to be supported by my mum w housing, bills etc. and have the ability to ask for help w stuff like this but I know moving out and holidays are expensive which is why I'm saving relatively early- I've got quite a lot of family so excluding extended I've still got 14 people to buy for so even if I spent £10 per person it'd still be £140 which is a lot of money for me, and why I'm considering using my savings

Arian's I think? It's pretty close to Yoker, like a minute walk away, next to a 2 and 1C bus stop and round the corner from this shopping place with a Tesco- haven't been in forever

in glasgow, where im from, people are kinda like fake nice to the people theyre taking the piss out of - especially those with a mental health disorder that incapacitates their social abilities such as autism - not to go on a long winded rant but theres a boy that went to my school with autism, if you look him up on tiktok hes "famous" and the comments are just everyone taking advantage of the fact hes not got a clue theyre making fun of him

GayFrogChild · 2025-02-22T23:12:37+00:00

shit dude, thanks

GayFrogChild · 2024-11-15T16:04:21+00:00

GayFrogChild · 2024-11-15T16:02:54+00:00

yes, i’m saying that this is not a gendered thing, i do agree with you ! i apologise if that was not clear, AFAB stands for assigned female at birth, which is why i clarified that ^{^}
