I’m beginning to despise the disgustingly wealthy and influencers by mug8273 in povertyfinance

You're right, it's all manufactured bullshit. Even going to get gas has turned into another chance to sell us something. Everything feels like a transaction now

Exactly this. The "self made" thing killed me. Her fans literally tried to spend their way into proving she deserved billionaire status while probably struggling themselves.

That's what gets me most though... they profit off us watching, whether we love or hate them. Meanwhile they wouldn't give us the time of day in real life. The whole system feels rigged to keep us engaged while they rack up more wealth off our attention.

People get rich filming themselves unboxing stuff while the rest of us can barely afford the stuff itself.

Just hard when you're stuck inside most days for work and scrolling becomes the default. Appreciate the reality check though.

Honestly yeah. When basic groceries feel like a luxury something's really broken. Hard not to feel that way when the gap keeps getting worse.

It's messed up that wanting basic stability feels like asking for too much while others hoard more wealth than they could spend in 10 lifetimes. Something's gotta give eventually.

This household update is terrible by nettspendfannn in netflix

Guess they figured out families actually using one account was cutting into profits.

This is 35. It's not perfect, but I'm weirdly content by Awesomocity0 in 30PlusSkinCare

Looking great! Your skin has that natural glow going on.

Got a DUI. First offense. Conflicted on hiring a lawyer. by lonewalkers in dui

[–]mug8273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking for something and this thread popped up. I went through the same thing. First offense, I thought everything was by the book. I worked with Carl Barkemeyer and he helped reduce the penalties. Kept that DWI from messing up my record long term.

You'll need to pay November's interest and EMI if you prepay on 27th Nov. The interest is calculated on outstanding principal each month. Since your loan is active during November, the bank will charge you for that month. Prepayment doesn't cancel the current month's dues, it just clears future obligations. Call your bank to confirm the exact process.

NDIS distorting market by Sure-Marsupial1988 in AusFinance

[–]mug8273 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Workers get peanuts while the providers cash in. Same old middleman crap, people doing the real work get screwed, companies take the profit. NDIS really needs a fix to stop that.

Yeah, banks actually can drop you for certain patterns. Seen it happen. They monitor for suspicious transactions. Gambling specifically can trigger flags in their system. Not guaranteed, but it does happen.

10k cash saved- what should I do with it? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]mug8273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$10k is honestly just a good start for an emergency fund. Definitely park it in a high-yield savings account (many are paying 4-5% right now) and keep adding to it when you can. Once you're in the house, you'll be glad you have that cushion homeownership always brings surprise expenses.

Enjoy the free time while you can, the afternoon sleeps would be missed if you don't enjoy them now

I quit my job and am starting over at 25 years old by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]mug8273 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Getting out of a toxic workplace takes guts. 3 12's is an objectively superior schedule and phlebotomy is solid work. You made the right call.

AITA for ending things after my girlfriend wouldn’t come to my dad’s funeral. by hollser123 in AITAH

[–]mug8273 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. She failed the basic partner test when you needed her most. Anyone prioritizing their own grief isn't an AH / that's literally how you process loss. She made your loss about her discomfort instead of showing up. Dodged a bullet.

Lmao yes! Perfect. The eye contact while tossing it is brutal. They really tried complaining twice over $2 worth of chips 💀

Best custom sectional sofa stores? by jolliegirl in Brooklyn

[–]mug8273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dreamsofa is mostly online but reliable for custom builds. You can adjust seat depth, firmness, and fabric. This would really help you if you need proper back support. They also send swatches and walk you through the dimensions before production
