Basic Financial Rules To Live By 💰✨

Create a plan that shows how much money you get and how much you spend. This helps you see where your money goes.

Set aside a part of your money as savings. Try to save at least 10-20% of what you earn.

Be careful with borrowing money, especially if you have to pay back a lot of extra money (interest).

Save some money for unexpected things like medical bills or losing your job. Aim to have enough to cover your living costs for a few months.

Put your saved money into different things that can make it grow, like stocks or real estate. Be patient, as it takes time.

Don't spend more money than you make. Stick to buying what you really need, not just what you want.

Decide what you want to do with your money, both in the short term (like a vacation) and long term (like retirement).

Set up automatic transfers to your savings and bills so you don't forget to save or pay your bills on time.

Make saving money a top priority before spending on other things.

Regularly look at your money situation, adjust your plan as needed, and see how your investments are doing.

Pay your bills on time and use credit wisely (like credit cards) to keep a good credit score, which can help you get better deals on loans.

Save money for when you're older and don't work anymore. Use retirement accounts to help with this.

Think before you buy things. Don't buy something just because you want it; think if it's necessary.

Keep learning about how money works and how to make smart money choices.

Only use your emergency fund for real unexpected problems, not for things you just want to buy.

"using sex toys in bed means im Not Enough to satisfy on my own" "my partner owning and using sex toys means im not good enough and its almost cheating" is such a wiiiiiiild mindset in general like i cant imagine living like this. well you see when you take your girl out on a date to a restaurant the food that shes eating and enjoying is food that someone else made, not food that you made. so its someone else satisfying her. why didnt you cook this for her? you paid for someone else to be making your girl feel good and you know you cant compare. might as well let her go to the staff area so she can give everyone a handy. cuck.

Once my friend Henry was accused of wearing wireless headphones by a substitute so she said for him to hand them over so he took them off and handed them to her. Then later on she asked him a question and he didn’t respond so she said it louder and he still didn’t respond. She asked why he was not responding and he said “I can’t understand you ma'am, you took my hearing aids.”

Story Time!

I was in a Facebook group that is supposed to be for self care tips (your girl has depression). Anyway I got tired of seeing SO MANY POSTS that had nothing to do with self care, especially Christian-centric posts (your girl is a pagan). Like I’m sorry but is Jesus Christ going to wash my coochie for me? No I don’t think so, so why is he in a self care group?

Before I continue I have no problem with christians. What I do have a problem with is their religion being shoved down my throat especially in places where it isn’t even remotely relevant or is completely unprovoked. If religion comes up in the conversation, I will chat about it all day. But I’m not trying to see Bible quotes while trying to find self care tips.

Back to the story. Anyway, after the 7th irrelevant post in this self care group I decided to comment “I’m sorry. I’m confused. What does this have to do with Self care? That post happened to be a Christian based post (I’ll provide a picture of the post). I did not comment about it being religious or anything, just that I wasn’t sure how it was relevant to the group.

The post:

Some lady (not the one who made the post) decided to comment and say “It’s not a religious post! It’s a faith based post. Some people use religion as self care!” And she went on a whole spew about how I needed to get over it and she at least seemed very passive aggressive. Which 1st off, “faith based” is still religious… and she also continued to say that religion is often a part of people’s self care which is admitting that the post was religious. (Correct me if I’m wrong). Secondly, I never said it was religious. Someone else in a completely separate comment said it was, but why do you have to come at me sideways? I just stated that I was confused! Now she is correct, LOTS of people do use religion as part of their self care and that’s perfectly fine. I don’t have a problem with that. But what does that specific post have to do with self care?

I explained to her that I never said it was religious, just that I didn’t understand how the post was relevant. I then responded to the girl who did point out that it was religious in a different comment and said I agree, seeing a bunch of religious posts in the group does get tiring and also that I had a feeling if I made a pagan centric post it would not be received as welcoming as the Christian posts do.

The lady commented back, going on another tirade about how I was wrong and then decided to point out that I responded to someone else. She then also went off about how it wasn’t a Christian post because anyone can change the names of god and Satan to match their beliefs. (I don’t understand her logic.) I then pointed out that Satan and god are Christian deities. She argued with me about that and then I said “you’re right I’m sorry. I believe the Jewish community also has Satan.” (I have no idea if that’s factually correct but she accepted that answer.) The ended up removing from the group though. (Not sure why, but I’m guessing it’s because I pointed out that the post wasn’t relevant.)

Anyway I decided to make my own self care group but it doubles as an adulting 101 group where we can all trade hacks, self care tips, and teach each other how to adult but without having religion of any kind be shoved down our throats. Religion as a whole is not banned from the group but making a religion only post is. For example: posting a Bible verse, no. Talking about how you incorporate your religion into your self care to share with others in your religion, YES! Discussing religion in the comments: yes!

I just hate it when posts in groups have NO relevance to the actual group. Anyway if you want to join my group, you can! I just made it this morning tho so not a lot of people! (I can’t post the URL for some reason so I’ll post a screenshot of the actual page itself)

Every time someone talks about how it's our "purpose" or how we're "meant to" to reproduce, I want to tear my reproductive organs out and slam them down on the table.

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**

🗡️ You give so much to others

It’s time someone gave back to you 🗡️ acts of service and fluff prompts

Character A hates washing the dishes and Character B hates cooking, so they do those things for each other

“You don’t have to do anything to pay me back. Your happiness is more than enough.”

A is going through a major depressive episode and B comes by to help clean their room and give them company

B sets up candles, a warm bath, and dim lighting for A to relax in after a stressful work event

B carpools with A a lot. They notice the gas tank is running low and plant a $20 bill in the console for A to find later (B vehemently denies ever putting it there, but A absolutely knows)

A is sick and B goes out of their way to grab medicine and extra tissues to drop off at A’s doorstep

After A ends up in the hospital, B makes sure A’s place stays clean, their pets are fed and taken care of, and that A will have nothing to worry about when they are well again

B automatically sets aside a larger portion for A’s meals because they know that A will be hungrier than they expect

A is sensitive to light and B buys blackout curtains for their room so they can sleep better

“I’ll handle this! You go have fun, I’ll be there in a second.”

B will always pick A up after they travel internationally for work so A can sleep and recover from jet lag

B covers the corner of sharp tables for A (listen it’s just THE SWEETEST thing I’ve seen done for someone ack)

A is busy putting on makeup, so B gently detangles and does their hair (and it’s not as simple as just putting their hair into a ponytail, I’m talking weaves and braids and intricate designs that show B paid attention to this)

“Let me take care of it.”

A complains about their back or neck pain so B gives them a massage (mainly to stop their complaining LOL)

B will occasionally take A’s bath towel while A showers and run it through the dryer so it’s nice and warm when A gets out

A is anxious about finances (they just got a new job) and B helps them work through it and understand all the confusing things

A’s new apartment is not on the first floor and the elevator is out of order, so B moves the big furniture for A up all those flights of stairs

Chronic pain makes it difficult for A to leave the house sometimes, but B makes sure they never run out of medication by picking up A’s prescriptions

“You really didn’t have to do that for me.” “Well, I wanted to. Now you don’t have to do it!”
