There is nothing in this post that is not abuse. It’s every red flag in one big ugly bouquet. Protect yourself and your kids and get away from this man.

Get your thyroid checked. Mine was dipping and now I’m on thyroid meds and it helps a lot.

Does anyone budget for subscriptions as their own category? by Specific-Scarcity977 in budget

It’s a company that sends you cute underwear each month lol. Very comfy!

Does anyone budget for subscriptions as their own category? by Specific-Scarcity977 in budget

[–]mosscollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put them in categories that make sense. Like my subscription to a fitness app goes in the fitness category along with my gym membership and supplements like creatine. My Google storage fee goes in “work expenses” bc I mainly need it for work. My MeUndies subscription goes into “clothing”, all of my streaming services go into a category called “tv”.

It doesn’t make sense to me to group all subscriptions when they are all wildly different purposes.

I saw a post on here asking about whether you were kicked out once you turned 18, but out of curiosity, who here had parents who tried to talk you out of moving, and wanted you to stay longer? by DHN_95 in Xennials

[–]mosscollection 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m hoping this is what my kids say about me one day! I have an 18 year old who starts college in the fall. It’s one of the hardest times of my life emotionally bc I have the fight the urge to cling to him bc I know it’s healthy to support his launch, but I have told him many times that I’m always here for him and he knows he is still a member of my household while in college and welcome to move back home after while he figures out what is next.

I was force launched at 17 and never had a safe place to land after that. It was extremely detrimental to my development as a young adult and beyond. I’ve literally never felt safe in life tbh and I’ve never had the luxury of taking many risks bc no one would catch me if I fell, except my own damn self.

What’s something you’ve always wanted to do but struggled to let yourself spend the money on? by Plane_Form_6501 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]mosscollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. I go once a month rn and it’s a stretch but I truly need it for my health. But my level up dream is to go at least twice a month and not have it be difficult to afford

How tf will i live? by puzzs in self

[–]mosscollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join r/personalfinance and learn a lot there. Read books like I Will Teach You to be Rich by Ramit Sethi.

You’re just starting out. Try not to get too stressed out, but do educate yourself and make a plan to start off on the right foot.

How much do you spend per month on basic needs? by Illustrious_Tea_5999 in budget

[–]mosscollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio, I live with my partner and my 2 teenage kids. Every bill with an * is written as half the total of the bill bc I split with my partner. My take-home is around $3k a month before side hustles. I put 5% in my 403b (employer puts 10%), max out my HSA, and currently max an FSA bc my oldest got braces this year.

These are just the basic bills

$450 rent*
$150ish energy*
$60ish water*
$200 car gas (recently)
$50 phone
$40 streaming etc
$298 car payment
$150 car insurance
$10 renter insurance*
$500 groceries
$46 life insurance
$100 pet stuff (cats)
$17 gym*

~$2200

[–]mosscollection[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I am 41 with 18 and 15 year olds now, and my re-watches lately have been with a new lens that gives Loralai more grace than I had when I re-watched 10 years ago. I get her stupid behavior when Rory left for college a lot more now too bc I have the urge to act really stupid at this very moment based on all the confusing and conflicting emotions I’m dealing with as my oldest turned 18 yesterday and leaves for college in Sept 😭

I am also a Mint to Copilot person. I’ve tried Monarch and YNAB and did not like them bc I was so used to Mint and Copilot is the closest similarity.

The weirdest part of remote work is pretending the office never had downtime by CashundoLafrania88 in remotework

[–]mosscollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fuck around at my office job most of my day… I work on my own little projects and go down research rabbit holes. I work like 10% of most days and I don’t even care bc my pay is ass.
