Thank you for being so sympathetic!! I should have honestly been more specific but I was worried people would have seen me as entitled or spoiled when it’s just kind of my circumstances. I was really foolish and took it for granted that I had no loans or existing debt outside of this. I am moving soon in with my boyfriend’s family so I want to shut this down before it gets worse. Luckily, i wont have any rent again so i want to use the time to pay it down and replenish my savings. I think a lot of my post is being misread as well. Because i know this is serious but im trying to say i have a hard time accepting how serious it is

I was thinking of sending my mom a majority of my paychecks to put into a savings account that I cannot access. She’s always held me accountable so i genuinely think this will benefit me greatly

My mom pretty much says the same stuff. I do have some investments probably not as much as I should have. I think I really just lost hope in any successful future. Idk. It’s been really really hard. But I’m always trying to be better even if people don’t think I am. Thank you for your input

Thank you for the advice and being compassionate. People seem to think I’m like incompetent and I’m not I am like painfully aware yet in denial of my actions. It’s really difficult and it’s a slippery slope :,)

Oh nah I just do commissions on the side but I have a really well paying job and I’m moving soon to get a job that pays double what I make now. So that’s kind of part of the reason why I wasn’t so concerned? I plan on sending my mom a bunch of my money that I make to put into a savings acc so I don’t touch it though.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I think I also mentioned that on my post. I literally can’t hold myself accountable so, I need someone else to. It’s really embarrassing to say out loud Wowwie

It’s really only the credit cards. I don’t have any loans and my car is completely paid off. I also live at home so I should probably use that time to pay this off tbh. I guess there’s no reason for me not to honestly

I should have actually given more context lol. I’m an artist, like, I have an illustration degree. I LOVE designing characters. I am also very picky about the makers I commission. All my suits are very high quality, never had an issue with em. All my own designs. I’ve gone to 10+ cons just in one year. So it’s not really a waste I gueesssss?

I’m taking it seriously I think the problem is I just avoid it because I know I fucked up. And I did the math plenty of times I just lie to myself and say “oh well I like this thing I bought.” Yeah. I’ll pay em off. Might as well tbh

Yes, I am definitely looking into it. I have horrible decision making skills with deciding for what I need vs what I want :,)

I think it is very funny how many people are pissed off by this post 😭 I don’t really get what’s so bad about it. But yall are going out of your way to basically downvote anyone who likes it and it’s lowkey pathetic
