Rly pisses me of when people say I need to "take more risks" financially by investing or some shit like that because "boo hoo we're not getting retirement in the future". Like yeah you piece of shit, I know I'll work to death, but I also know investing in the exact thing that's keeping me from owning a house (which is, stocks in hedge funds and housing vultures) is foolish as hell if I TRULY believe I can buy a home.

Also: have you considered the possibility of the stock market crashing and losing everything. Because I did. Because my family has gone through extreme hardships where we barely escaped homelessness thrice now.

#idk man i hate the economy i hate how i am one missed paycheck from losing it all #i hate how i lost 4kg of weight the last 6 months because i can't afford to eat well #i hate how vegetables are expensive #i hate how it's always some rich dumbass telling me i should get a credit card and lose even more of my privacy #so i can 'build credit' (IT'S MEANINGLESS HERE!!!!) when all that's gonna do is be a liability #i hate how i would be one missed payment from entering the bank's blacklist if i lost my job #because guess fucking what? that's what happened to us when i was 3 #for a 500 BRL credit card bill we couldn't pay.#god fucking knows how hard my mom worked into getting a miracle out of our pennies. i am not up to that again #being malnourished at 3 and at 14 was enough to me.#i cannot go back to that state again. i REFUSE to let myself waste below 50kg again for the sake of 'the economy'.#fuck you.#jorjposting
