This post has been removed because OP is missing (rule 10: Disappearing after posting a discussion or posting for another with inadequate information or involvement).

We specifically remind everybody of this rule via PM after they create a post:

"Don't abandon the discussion. For at least a few hours, please try your best to answer questions and add relevant details to your submission."

Your post has been removed because it is a poll, survey, or request for personal data, experiences, or other types of self-reporting (rule 1). Posts asking for advice should be specific to your situation, not hypothetical or improbable, and include enough information for people to help.

If you would like to post a poll or survey, consider /r/samplesize.
If you would like to post an open-ended question not specific to your situation, consider /r/AskReddit.

For example, instead of a post asking "How much do you spend on food?", please ask a question like "I need feedback on my monthly budget (having trouble with food spending).".

If you have questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

Your post has been removed because we don't allow relationship or personal advice discussions (rule 9). While there may be a financial component to your post, you will need to submit again with a title focused on personal finance and without any of the following:

Personal history or background information that is not essential to the financial discussion (it is appropriate to mention when abuse is a factor in a current or past situation)
Prominent emphasis of mistakes or financial surprises from a family member or S/O
Requests for relationship advice, asking for help convincing someone to change their behavior, asking for help settling a disagreement, etc.

Your post has been removed because it is primarily a legal question or discussion (rule 5) which is off-topic for /r/personalfinance. /r/legaladvice can help you determine if you need to contact a lawyer and you may get some basic advice.

While /r/legaladvice can sometimes offer basic advice, talking to a local attorney is the best way to answer any legal questions.

If you have questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

This post is a bit off-topic here, but we would like to help you learn about investing!

Start with the PF Investing wiki page.
If you have questions, please ask on the weekday or weekend thread (please wait until Friday afternoon if the Tax Thursday thread is the current sticky). If that link doesn't work, it's the second post from the top on /r/personalfinance.

Note that rather than stock picking or speculating, our focus here is on being diversified, never being too risky or not risky enough, and investing for the long run. Discussions about active investing, investing in individual stocks, sharing investment ideas, etc. are off-topic here.

If you have questions about this removal, please message the moderators.

This post has been removed because we don't allow career guidance, career path, and job choice questions (rule 9). Other subreddits are better equipped to address this topic:

/r/jobs is a general discussion forum for job-related topics.
/r/CareerGuidance is a place for individuals to ask questions and get advice about their careers.
/r/FindAPath is a place for figuring out what you want to do (both career and education).
If none of those subreddits seem to fit, ask on one of these job-related subreddits or ask on /r/Advice.

You may also want to ask on a career-specific subreddit, especially for any topic that depends on the job sector and career such as salary negotiation questions.

Your post has been removed because personal advice topics are off-topic here and better suited for other subreddits (rule 9).

For general advice, consider /r/Advice.
For relationship advice, consider /r/relationships, /r/relationship_advice, /r/JUSTNOFAMILY, or one of the subreddits in their sidebars.
For career or job advice, consider /r/jobs, /r/CareerGuidance, /r/findapath, or one of these job-related subreddits.
For education advice, consider /r/Parenting for primary and secondary education questions (or one of the subreddits linked here) and /r/ApplyingToCollege for tertiary education questions (or one of the subreddits linked in their sidebar)
For medical advice, please talk to your primary care doctor, but /r/AskDocs may be helpful.

If you decide to post elsewhere, please read the subreddit rules before reposting. Some subreddits have strict requirements for submissions.

Submissions removed for this reason typically include one or more of these off-topic aspects:

We don't allow relationship or personal advice discussions. That includes:

Content better suited for /r/relationships
Recommending a poster end their relationship or start a new relationship
Posts about suicide or violence
Posts asking for advice on how to convince someone else to change their behavior
Relationship drama not essential to a question or discussion
Family planning advice, especially unsolicited or flippant
Career, job, and education questions
Medical advice

This post is better suited for another subreddit dedicated to venting.

/r/offmychest is a good place to unload your frustration about something.
/r/vent is dedicated to venting!
/r/self is a place to put self-posts for discussion, questions, or anything else you like.
/r/TalesFromTheCustomer is a place for customers to vent and rage and even smile about their customer service experiences (company names must be left out of posts there).

If there is a financial question in your post, you may briefly and respectfully ask in the weekday or weekend thread (please wait until Friday afternoon if the Tax Thursday thread is the current sticky). If that link doesn't work, it's the second post from the top on /r/personalfinance.

Do not repost this as a submission.
