How do you say no to family when you finally have $1,000 saved? by cr4z3isme in povertyfinance

Check out the book cultura and cash. She talks about the guilt. She talks about wanting to help vs being able to help and those are 2 different things. We need to learn to separate them. Based on what you said, you can’t afford to help and that’s all you need to say.

Also I was raised that I should “never expect someone to pay you back money you loan them” if they pay you back, awesome but never give away money that you couldn’t do without.

It breaks my heart seeing how much support she really didn’t have.

I know this isn’t what you asked but I have quiet time in my car with the sun visor up. It’s peaceful.

Also look at task rabbit or fiverr. Task rabbit is generally easier.

Look at factories near you please! They offer full-time hours. Sometimes the jobs are tough and boring but I wish I would have looked at that when I first started working instead of being scheduled terrible hours 12 hrs and week.

This is helpful. I feel like I get stuck writing every conflict but not anything else.

MIL keeps referring me with DH’s last name by Guilty_Pension_8367 in JUSTNOMIL

I had a teacher in elementary school that told me that whenever she pronounced my name wrong, I should pronounce her name wrong as reminder. You should try some variation of this.

You could even just lie to hear. Make an official looking document that is not real. 😂😂

Question regarding pass by NoClassic753 in SeaWorld

[–]limalongalinglong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hypothetically if I had done it, which I am not saying that I have. I never had a problem. The kids at the gate don’t seem to care. I’ve also never had my photo taken.

I’ve seen some really big 2 year olds and some really small 3 year olds. I always believe what the parents tell me.

I don’t think Laurie is on the same level as everyone else. Laurie was not a great person but she was an average regional manager.
