From Financial Anxiety to Financial Freedom: Taking Control of Your Money

Money. It’s the lifeblood of modern society, a source of both immense joy and crippling stress. We use it to buy necessities, pursue passions, and secure our future. Yet, our relationship with money is often far from rational. We make impulsive purchases, cling to outdated beliefs, and let fear dictate our financial decisions. This is where the fascinating field of behavioral finance comes in. By…

Have you ever wondered what makes some people rich and successful, while others struggle to make ends meet? Is it luck, talent, education, or hard work? While all these factors may play a role, there is one thing that sets apart the millionaires from the rest: their mindset. Mindset is the way you think about yourself, your abilities, your goals, and your challenges. It influences how you…

the fact that they *can* quit in protocol is so everything to me because it immediately brings up the question of why the hell havent they? besides lena i don't think anyone has even suggested the idea of quitting the evil nightmare job that they all hate and whenever a way out is presented it's ignored or (shoutout gwen) flat out rejected which is sooo interesting to see after spending a whole 200 episodes following people doing everything they could to escape

I need advice

I'm 19 years old and I need to escape my transphobic parents. A friend wants me to live with him, but there have been issues stopping this.

I have no car, and even if he drove me there, my parents would know where I went.

Even if they didn't find me, my parents control my bank account, medical care, and phone (luckily they can't put the Verizon Smart Family app on my computer.)

They also use my autism as a reason to prevent me from leaving. They claim I can't legally leave because of this. I've heard some people say that it sounds like BS but I don't know.

I need to transition, but I can't do that while I'm stuck with my parents. I'm willing to do almost anything to leave them.

the waverly hills sanatorium arc in The Spirealm is so funny to me

not like, the story but whenever they make digs at American healthcare

because

I 100% agree

but at the same time I'm like, this was Tuberculosis in the 1910s. maybe you're being a little unfair.

also Ling Jiushi quoting Fromm, and there's a painting of a panopticon on the wall. very cool.

A Case Study in Using Tumblr Blaze to Collect Survey Data

A little while ago, I ran a very niche survey about the vernacular names used for a specific type of North American bug, and I used Tumblr Blaze to try to get more survey responses. I figure that others who’d consider using Blaze to promote surveys might want to know how it went, so here's a graph of the number of survey submissions, with the “Blazed” periods highlighted in dotted orange:

Additional details below the cut.

Response Numbers: Between 4/17 (when I first posted the survey) and 4/30 (when I analyzed data for it), I received a total of 291 responses.

There were 14 responses in the first 24 hours after I posted the survey (before Blazing the post related to it).  For all subsequent days that the post was not Blazed, I received between 0 and 2 additional responses. By contrast, I received 145 responses during the first Blaze period and 110 responses during the second Blaze period. It isn't possible to definitively know exactly how many responses can be attributed to Blazing the post, but from this data, I'm comfortable assuming that it's a large majority of the responses.

The Blazed post: I exclusively advertised the relevant survey on Tumblr, and with one, specific post. The post itself was nothing fancy—just a quick description of the survey and some emojis, basically. It looked like this:

I’ve left the survey running (although I don’t promise I’ll analyze new data for it), so if you would like to complete it, you may do so here (NOTE: the survey contains a photo of a bug). Current results for the survey are also available here (NOTE: the results post also contains a photo of a bug).            

Blaze information: Both times that I Blazed the post, I purchased the second tier level (which provides 7,000 estimated impressions, although in both cases, the actual impressions ended up being ~10k, per the post-Blaze summary reports). I also opted to specifically target a US audience.

Data quality: One worry I had about Blazing my survey was that I’d get a bunch of joke responses or (worse) harassment, but that fortunately did not happen. I can't know for sure just how honest any individual respondent was, but the overall pattern of results was plausible and suggested there wasn't any widespread bad-faith responding. One respondent gave a clear joke answer, but that was it.

Conclusions: It’s hard to express this honestly without sounding like an ad, but I had a generally positive experience Blazing my survey. As someone with a very small blog, Tumblr Blaze helped me get enough survey responses to crunch some numbers on my (perhaps aggressively niche) project idea, which I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do. I didn’t receive a staggering amount of data or anything, and the response rate I got might not be worth the cost for all projects, but it served its purpose for me. All in all, I'd say it's at least worth considering for anyone interested in running an informal survey without having a pre-existing audience to lean on.

I'm being forced to visit my abusive grandma to deal with my childhood traumas and grow up as person(already ended crying and visiting the clinic because of that) so with that said

What is it to be an adult for you ? One of the expectations is for me to be able to become an adult since I will be 23 when I get back so...

I think you shouldn't need to confront your trauma Like That to grow up as a person tbh i'm no psychologist but it feels counterproductive. Abusive people should be put behind you, not at your side. Stay safe, and stay strong, bestie, i'll be keeping you in my thoughts🫂

As for me, being an adult is a subjective thing. I'm not sure? I think "responsibility". Having more of them, and being okay-ish at keeping the strings together. -ish, i emphasise. Nobody can keep all the strings together, but trying your best is part of it. You gain a bit more independence, but you end up losing a lot of that freedom you gain to responsibilities. But i'd still say adulthood comes with additional freedoms. I hope the expectations placed on you aren't some shit like "get a (good) job" or "become fully independent, financially and otherwise" bc for me that's awfully individualist and might not be feasible for every adult (like, a disabled adult might not be able to keep a job that is exhausting, whatever "exhausting" might mean to them - could be the medical profession known for a lot of overtime and sleepless nights, could be an office job where you have to stare at screens that cause eyestrain for too long etc etc).

But i think it does include some independency. Dependant on the person. YMMV. I think i'd leave it up to the individual to define, beyond the biological "maturity/end of puberty" or sociological "minor/adult" divide

why is my family like succession but without the money?

[furiousgoldfish]

abusive parents: neglect to give you money for school, food, bus ticket, clothing, basic hygiene products, even when they know you need it consistently

abusive parents when you're forced to come to them and ask them to give you money they're responsible for providing you with:

"You only take and never give back"

"Do you think money grows on trees?"

"When are you going to pay all this back?"

"You're a burden on this family."

"You're lucky I'm giving this to you."

"How many times have I given you this already, you never have enough."

"Do you think I'm made of money?"

"When are you going to get a job"

"I should be charging you rent for living in my house"

"But have you earned this money?"

"I work day and night, just to have to throw it all away on you"

"What if I acted like you do, and just said 'no' whenever you needed money?"

"What did you do with the last one I gave you"

"You'll get it when you do x"

"You could have acted better towards me, instead of acting scared right now"

"You'll see one day what it is, working hard and having to give it all away"

"You should be more grateful, not everyone gets this."

"You think my parents just gave me money when I was a kid? I had to x and y and z for it!"

"Imagine if I didn't give it to you, how would you get by then? You wouldn't survive without me."
