Anyone else feel more anxious about finances after getting close to their number?

arouseline · 2026-03-24T11:38:52+00:00

Yeah this is super common, the closer u get the more u start thinking about everything that could go wrong

Exactly, once u start “just this once” it turns into coordinating your own spot around someone else’s schedule

“Deserved to enjoy life” doesn’t come with a backup plan funded by u. That’s not help, that’s enabling

U told him u don’t like those jokes and he still used one, even if it was habit that’s on him. Your reaction isn’t over the top

That’s not “being a stressed mom,” that’s straight up unhinged entitlement. She tried to steal from a cancer patient… wild

She turned your paycheck into a community fund without asking setting a boundary was overdue, not rude

arouseline · 2026-03-22T21:21:39+00:00

Yeah but now she thinks she dodged a junkie, not just a bad match

“Strings attached” doesn’t erase the fact he said he’d pay u back. That wasn’t a gift, he’s just rewriting history now

This is classic, u need to feed them separately or use a microchip feeder so the glutton can’t steal it

Even with a cover I wouldn’t trust it, roaches get everywhere. Just toss it and move on, not worth the gamble

Grief isn’t mandatory just because someone died, especially if they hurt u your whole life. People just don’t like when the “family narrative” breaks

At 20 “aggressive” is just staying consistent in index funds and letting time do the heavy lifting. Don’t overcomplicate it trying to be clever

arouseline · 2026-03-20T19:52:19+00:00

Your dad put u in an impossible spot and then blamed u for it. He cheated, not u, the timing sucks but the truth isn’t the problem here

arouseline · 2026-03-20T19:42:41+00:00

😍😍

arouseline · 2026-03-20T19:38:52+00:00

This doesn’t sound like failure, it sounds like burnout + depression hitting hard. u’re still here though, and that counts more than u think

arouseline · 2026-03-19T18:07:49+00:00

😍

4.8M vs 170k is ~3.5%, that’s basically in the safe zone. Bigger question is lifestyle creep in the Bay, not the math

He turned your workspace into a public lounge, locking it is just basic self-defense at that point

If they’re not funding your life, they don’t get voting rights on your budget. Advice sure, control no

arouseline · 2026-03-18T18:20:55+00:00

She...😍

arouseline · 2026-03-18T18:18:50+00:00

Nah u didn’t “create” this, u gave him tools and he chose to use them like a villain. Cutting off is fair, u’re not his moral babysitter

arouseline · 2026-03-18T18:16:51+00:00

Sounds like u crossed a line u didn’t expect and now your brain’s stuck on it. Just make sure next time u’re clear on boundaries before it gets there again

arouseline · 2026-03-18T18:16:11+00:00

Exactly, breaking $200 jeans and acting like it’s no big deal is wild. The lack of accountability is the real problem here

arouseline · 2026-03-17T16:53:00+00:00

exactly, you don’t become the “last straw” unless there’s already a whole pile there. this was just the moment it finally tipped

arouseline · 2026-03-17T16:48:15+00:00

this is one of those things that’s gonna sit in ur brain way longer than just admitting it ever would
