Hey bitches! Just wanted to share a hack I have been using when it comes to paying down credit card debt. When I see something that I want but do not need, like say, a workout set in a color I adore when I already have plenty of gym clothes, I'll instead pay the amount that I would have spent on the item(s) towards my credit cards. It's been super useful, especially this time of year when there are so many temptations on sale, lol.
I love this! This is such a great way of rewarding yourself for good money habits. Thanks for sharing with the whole class, honey! We're super proud of you.

Me: Hey, since you've been unemployed for forever, who has been paying your credit card bill? Cause it hasn't been me.
Little Sister: Oh that went away!
Me, sinking feeling in my stomach: What do you mean?
Sister: I deleted the app
Me: . . . Okay, but who paid it off?
Sister: Boop, relax. It's just gone, I couldn't log in, so they must've cancelled my account or something, so it's gone now! Problem solved!
Me: . . . . What d'you mean??
Sister, exasperated: It's gone! I don't owe anything!
#I have .... such fear for her future#I had to actually beg her to call them and figure out how they want her to pay the open balance#the amount of debt she must be in right now is beyond my current capacity to imagine#this is exactly why we told her not to get a credit card#���� wdym it's gone??? Go find it! goddammit

as frustrating as it is it’s also sort of funny to see my (very smart math-y) mom, with whom i had nightly weeping raging battles over math homework from about 9-15, finally understand that i am simply NOT GOOD AT MATH AT ALL because she’s trying to explain credit card billing to me and it is simply not getting through. somehow has insisted i’m too hard on myself and am actually good at math for years but i can see the faltering conviction in her eyes
#LMFAO like girl i’m sorry i just straight up don’t get it and im trying but good heavens#don’t explain it to me i promise she’s already done so in thirty different ways and i’ve also tried looking it up but im still confused#and my only solution is to just never ever get into credit card debt bc i do not think i could get myself out of it#when i say battles i mean it i was screaming and sobbing every night. sorry girl#i try to think about it and there’s just a blank wall in my brain!!!!!

God my mom is so bad with money
#was looking at her list of credit card payments/totals and girl.#even if i gave her all my emergency savings it wouldnt be a dent#anyway money stresses me out and this is why i dont do anything ever#personal#and none of this is considering our student loan debt which we both are just like#well that's never getting paid off so who cares

Kill Your Debt Faster With the Death by a Thousand Cuts Technique
If you’ve got credit card debt, the interest is calculated on the “average daily balance.” So it’s beneficial to lower that balance as quickly as possible. And you can only lower the balance by making a payment… or payments.
The sooner you send a dollar to that debt, the less interest you’ll end up paying! It’s that simple!
Even if you can only afford the minimum required payment every month, splitting it into two payments helps. That can drastically reduce the average daily balance, and thus, the interest you have to pay. So making half of your monthly payment on the 15th of the month and the other half on the 30th (don’t @ me, February) can effectively save you money on interest. This goes for credit card debt as well as home mortgages and car loans.
Keep reading.

outrageous that i dont have the money to spend on cute clothes for my dolls what do you mean im an adult and cant spend all my time on my floor dressing them up
#FURIOUS#whats even worse is that i DO have the money i just want so many other things that buying the clothes would throw the whole system#context a ton of dolls are on sale at my local walmart and not buying them Physically Hurts Me#like- dolls that are usually 25-30 dollars are on sale for 5 bucks kinda sale but if i buy them that means i cant buy the other dolls i want#especially since venus just came out and ohhhhh my god she is such a beautiful doll i cannot risk losing the opportunity to get her#but also :((( cute clothes for my other dolls :((((((#plus spending money on dolls means less money for the new gen 7 lps and borderlands merch#oh jack action figure we're really in it now :(( (credit card debt)

Finally attempting to do something about it but I fear it's to late
#i cant do anymore customer service jobs anymore#i just cant#but the last time i tried to break away#i got burnout out from kids#and then emotionally abused and had a hostile work environment at the other#but im not functioning#thats not what this is#even when i was getting burnout out over there and abused i could do things#i had hobbies#i dont right now#i quite literally just eat sleep and work#and poorly at all three of those#i just wanna be hapoy but that seems impossible#everything to recover from burnout says to rest but i cant#i have over $500 in medical bills alone every month#not counting car payments or family debt or the shit im ignoring because i cant afford it#such as getting a secured credit card so i can build credit#or additional medical bills because i can feel other parts of my body breaking down but thats a later problem#its been a later problem for 3 years now#and the thing about days off is i feel the itch that im not doing enough#the anxiety gets so much that i should be doing something because ive been constantly doing something forever#rant post

Ive been having lots of talks lately with my mom abt politics n the state of the world, Good conversations to be sure, and theyre great bc we both make good points and can compare different experiences and all -- but good God the fact that she's still seems to have. More subconscious faith in the moral integrities of the nebulous concept of a government or corporation More than she has faith in the the moral integrity of the nebulous concept of our societal peers. She talks about it like the Second a group like that is founded, its set of ethics just Miraculously appears out from the ether + just happens to Always be morally sound by default. I cant seem to find a way to word things that with like... idk. Help it Click that those corporations are still run by People and are therefore just as fallible 💀 technically More so but she's convinced capitalism is Never going to go away so she doesn't care about the whole "company's and governments in power, as they exist today, Have A Monetary Incentive To Lie To Us As Much As They Can" thing cuz shes such a damn pessimist and assumes All people have been doing that Forever 💀💀💀 SIGH it's nbd i just needed to put it in words bc its been on my mind on and off
#horse.txt#vent //#not extremely sad just like. huffy.#i love my mom to pieces but. man. we all have our issues ig 😔 it would just be nice if she wouldn't talk to me about how#the world is only every going to get worse within my lifetime#with a shrug and a laugh like 'what can ya do?' like ma. to your own adult child's face? when im already clearly upset with the state of#the world? not when im trying to talk about the kind of changes that other people are proposing we make to our overall society?#she gets so bitchy at me for always complaining but never Doing anything to change the world#but then She complains and agrees with me?? and then ALSO denounces all the Suggestions i tell her abt bc 'oh that would never work lol'#and then when i ask her 'ok well what would You do?' and she go well i think we need to get rid of credit cards and the debt system we have#and im like ok sick!!! keep going!!!#and then she goes OH but we cant get Rid of the debt system Completely bc people still need to borrow from lenders to get houses n cars#and im just. MA#shes been stuck on this metaphor of America being 'a house'#and she says all the ideas of overthrowing the government and replacing it with Anything else would be 'burning it down'#and that if America is already On fire then we should just put it out and try to rebuild it#like 1.) America is not a House it is a Cult. America is a group of people on an area of land. not a fucking House.#2.) THERE ARE PEOPLE RUNNING AROUND THE CULTHOUSE WITH FLAMETHROWERS AND GUNS TO SCARE AWAY AND/OR KILL ANYONE WHO TRIES TO PUT IT OUT.#ITS GOING TO BURN DOWN ANYWAY
