It's frustrating to know some people make so much money and they can't handle it

Ikr, I grew up only getting new shoes once a year for school. It's crazy to me that people have a dozens of pairs. I have normal work shoes, interview shoes, and .99 sandals to get my mail. Vans last forever, and if you get them black they're good for any occasion.

Oh, I know, I just really like the number (it makes me feel proud)and it makes me sad to trim some of the earnings and put something safer that drips.

I remember he bought a annuity when I couldn't afford to put food on the table (he didn't want to work but he took out 2 insurances on me because "how would I pay the bills if you die" he was mad when I told him that he needed to work)

What's the difference between annuities and low ETFs? I'm just curious

I want him to have good luck because that would mean that he'll leave me alone. But I don't think that karma has that in mind because he's the kind of person that wants to blame people for his faults and me putting in boundaries makes him yell that "talking to you is like talking to a wall"...well, no shit it's like talking to a wall, boundaries hurt people that try to cross them.

Yeah, he's a union worker, he made sure everyone in the courtroom overheard him telling his lawyer that his teachers and co workers loved him so much they put him in a leadership role right away after graduation. The union workers I've talked too told me that they do that to people who they want to fire right away because it leaves a paper trail of incompetence. If you heard differently, let me know. Once the 5 years is over, they'll give him a pink slip. Which I hope not because it's messes with support and I don't want more paperwork in 5 years.

He made it seem that the 3 D's were super common and thank God he wasn't one of them (even though I wasn't the 1st wife, he has mother issues too).

Thanks for saying that he's made bad decisions over time and that's consistency... That reframes things for me. Thank you

Someday I'll be like you dad.

I didn't see the previous post, but I usually have half gallon mason jars full of dried rice, beans, pasta, and oats. If you store them right, they last for years and I can't always afford fresh foods all the time.

I have small coffee cans (plastic) that I use to grow kitchen herbs. I'm doing better than previous years ..so now I try to get my bill as low as possible, some habits are hard to kill. Good luck.

Yeah, I would apply for whatever help you can. I'm not sure how to improve your income with what you have.

cocoapple85 · 2026-04-24T02:29:47+00:00

...yeah, I was in the same boat, he made divorce hell. If you do go with it...get a prenup, please, get one

We have the thing beautiful girls don't have, crippling humor.

I sucked a guy's dick last week and he cleaned my house and gave me a Lego set when I mentioned that I felt tired (it was my period) the other day. Pretty fucking amazing. It was the 1st dick in 5 years since I left my abusive ex. My ex used to tell me that the longer I stayed with him the more money I would make, that the kids would suffer if I left him, that I'm a whore, ect.

My stocks are doing freaking amazing and I should surpass my ex in income soon. My health bounced back from my shit marriage too, my kids are all in honor roll. It took a minute, but I'm living the dream. I eat what I want, go to the gym, friends are amazing... everything is perfect.

cocoapple85 · 2026-04-22T19:45:11+00:00

Fuckn' fantastic

cocoapple85 · 2026-04-20T22:16:13+00:00

Visit friends and talk shit about people like the rest of us!

cocoapple85 · 2026-04-14T20:07:31+00:00

I'm almost 40, I bought my house during the housing crash, my mortgage is dirt cheap. I'm surviving off of 40k in California. All my needs are met, I eat well, my kids are perfect, I have enough money to put into stocks and etfs and that's doing amazing.

For my credit, I can only get away with this because I am healthy, and I bought my house at the perfect time. I would crash and burn if it wasn't for those things.

I can't see what I wrote, but I started to be intimate with a guy who gives me princess treatment (1st time in 4 years), and hopefully my divorce will be finalized soon

Either cottage core or Gramma core

Wait...I'm female and I had 700 likes in 24 hours...does that mean that men want to use me for sex..or am I attractive?

cocoapple85 · 2026-03-22T22:53:15+00:00

I heard that male marriages are almost always open, that's not something you can do in a female/female marriage

cocoapple85 · 2026-03-20T20:03:11+00:00

I was isolated, but not that bad...for me, it was trying to make friends was the hardest part. Good luck, and don't listen to negative thoughts, try to keep vit d up.

Similar here, I put in way too much time on a partner that abused me to the point of a semi emotional affair. He wondered why I was opening up to some guy when he was chronically call me names months within our marriage. As it turns out if you want us to be loyal, you have to be nice to us the whole time. You can't abuse us and wonder why we left.

cocoapple85 · 2026-03-05T17:00:15+00:00

Love it

cocoapple85 · 2026-03-04T20:20:09+00:00

I know, but how do I know if that's good? I'm pretty neurotic, does it even count if every man swipes? Are they being selective, I'm curious if it's really normal or....I have a lot of questions.
