Me just casually grabbing for semi-common financial knowledge: you know what would make for a great contrived romance plot?

Anyway, United States in 1958-1974 is a great little period to have your male and female characters get married expressly for the purpose of "She's smarter at the money stuff but can't legally own a credit card or a bank account* without her husband or father cosigning, and her dad's a dick so I guess I'm marrying her so she can be in charge of all the money. Yeah, mine too, I'm not great with it and she might as well make the most of it, right?"

* Technically women could legally open bank accounts in 1960, but it wasn't until 1974 that banks were barred from forcing them to get cosigners anyway.

What do you think would have happened if (somehow, idk how but somehow) Machete rose to the rank of pope?

To be perfectly honest? I think most realistically he would've ruled maybe six months at best and then keeled over from stress and exhaustion.

#seriously he wouldn't want to be the pope papacy is for chumps but if he had to #he would've kicked out so many cardinals #his former colleagues riddled with corruption nepotism incompetence and moral decay #it would've upsetted so many elite families but what are they gonna do #pope's power is absolute he could totally do that #just excommunicate the whole lot #do something to get Holy See's finances in order he's been crunching numbers they aren't looking good #build sturdier foreign relations probably he's a diplomat I think he'd likely be extremely done with superfluous wars and useless bickering #maybe commission some extravagant artworks art is nice he knows to appreciate beauty when he sees it #become the senselessly rich patron to a handful of top notch artists although I think he already does that in canon timeline #I'm not sure how he'd handle the ongoing counter-reformation I guess it depends whether this was before or after the inquisition times #minimal public appearances because lord that's way too many people too many eyes being a figurehead is not his strongest suit #develop stomach ulcers get sepsis #historically it's actually not very uncommon for popes to expire relatively quickly after they're elected #they don't even have to be particularly old stuff's just tiring they get frazzled out #answered #anonymous #Machete

#i lost my job #even though they're not saying its because of my disability it is because of it #I've been applying to places and some of the safety nets i had fell through #im scared right now and feel very betrayed #i got enough to get me through the month but beyond that idk what to do #i have resources im looking into and as most know that doesn't put a dent into finances #i need help #i feel bad for asking and i know i preach people shouldnt feel ashamed #but i do get where folks are coming from with that #the shame is powerful especially when you pride yourself as someone that takes care of themselves #im open to ideas opinions whatever folks want to say #i haven't felt this triggered ptsd wise in a long time past homeless experience and work abuse has been creeping in #I'm trying to get to the good but its really hard seeing it right now after getting screwed for the millionth time #for something i can't control with my body #i guess on a good note that partnership meeting went well #it seems like an excellent opportunity but its also an investment and i don't have the means to put into that right now

Me: oh no, my stomach has been acting up a lot for 2 weeks already, and I have a trip to England in a few days... Google: You can't use Imodium for more than 48h!!! Me: Ah, shit. A literal shit! Me: Doctor, please, is there any medication for IBS? Doctor: No, unfortunately. Imodium typically helps. Me: I've been using it and it does help. How long can I use it in one go? Doctor: Up to 3 weeks. Here's a prescription for you. Just take less when your symptoms start to subside. Me: Oh heaven's bless QuQ

#if you don't know how it is to live with a stomach #which will shit out everything you put inside when the flaring happens #when eating ANYTHING is like playing Russian roulette with diarrhea #where you NEED TO go to a toilet in THAT INSTANT and not 5 minutes later #be SUPER HAPPY #this is a genetic family curse from both parents' side #this is what happens when your families live in the same fucking 200km area for at least 650 years #breeding with one another #I've been really stressed out lately with everything #with finances and the job #the company I work in has gone to bankruptcy and I'm pretty much waiting for them to kick me out #Patreon income has dried to 1/3 since I stopped drawing FUZZY #PMS isn't helping this at all #the IUD has been a blessing but it hasn't taken all of PMS away #which it apparently even doesn't do #tmi #niu's life #i need the new job #something where I can operate despite by diseases

This is unsolicited so feel free to ignore but you should be seeing a physical therapist not a chiropractor. Chiropractic is insanely dangerous pseudoscience with a body count, people have died from strokes and broken necks inflicted by chiropractors. It will only harm you in the long run, I beg you to consider alternatives, your life is important :(

#either finance my physical therapy or Shut it #I have been over this and I flat out don't care. if you don't have chronic pain then you don't know the rub.#sergle answers #it is literally impossible to break someone's neck during an adjustment unless you twist it REALLY far lmao #you don't even have to do the little twist they do. they can do a slower version of the adjustment if you're scared.#or use a theragun.#like were you listening. snaps my fingers in front of ur face.

spending my whole life trying and trying and trying and trying to be good enough for people who don't give a fuck about me

#im so tired living seems pointless why am i doing this what is the reason #the firm i work at is going thru a merger so it's releasing all the interns except 2 #i went into her office and said that id like to stay here bc my dad said so bc i got in cause he was friends with the head #and she said ill think about it based on performance ive not decided yet #and this other guy he went in to tell her that cool he'll leave and she told him that she was hoping that he'd stay #he literally does nothing but play games on his phone he doesn't work at all #i have no idea what he has that i don't #but just. im stuck like this forever right never ever good enough for people i like or care about #not for parents they have a diff fav child not for ex gf not for bestie who has a boyfriend much better at loving her than me #not for that one guy who rejected me in interview bc i don't read the newspaper and didn't know the date of the finance act #im so fucking sick of this i never even wanted to this fuckinh course and obviously even my best isn't enough and ofc im not good enough #for anyone in this field and ill just struggle and struggle and struggle all my life just to earn some fucking money so i can live away #from my sociopathic parents #and the worst part is that i can't stop feeling like maybe it IS me yk maybe i am the problem maybe im not trying hard enough #but how else am i supposed to handle this i prioritize my studies and lose all my friends i prioritise my friends and fail in d #exams #and the trauma keeps on coming every fucking day bc sociopathic parents but i jsut push it down and say not rn i will cry at night anx then #never cry #i wish someone would just tell me that idk you're wrong you're not made for this you really do have some mental illness and you're really #trying your best and do something that's easy and that you love doing #oh god this is now a ventpost #mes

there's obviously a lot more to it but i think a decent litmus test to gauge how you're doing with regard to being socially safe for people in a given marginalized group to be around is how you react to their humor. do you take lighthearted ribbing of the majority outgroup as a personal offense? do you immediately close off if they joke about their oppression or lighthearted self-deprecation based on relevant stereotypes or tropes? or are you, yknow, chill about it? are you okay with not always being in on the joke?

#idk like in my experience my favorite cishet people are the ones who laugh at my gay jokes or even join in depending on the vibe #i appreciate it when thin people don't treat my fat jokes as self deprecating #i love it when friends treat my disability as something neutral that can be joked about rather than a Big Deal #like obviously dynamics are going to vary widely and not all laughter is the same #e.g. if one of my jewish friends makes a joke about her mom working in finance (real example)#and i laugh bc she had excellent comedic delivery #that's very different than it would be if i was laughing bc i agreed with the antisemitic trope she was poking fun at #the latter vibe i think i've heard described as 'laughter with a mouth full of blood'#and that should be avoided #but there's something to be said for not being so scared of that that you end up needlessly walking on eggshells #and therefore treating whatever the relevant marginalized identity is as like a big serious elephant in the room that cannot be acknowledge #if that makes sense #does this make sense?#faggotry enjoyer original

God why don't they teach taxes and finance in school. I'm 22 and my search history looks like: "Investing for beginners dummies absolute noobs dweebs 5 year old baby." If anyone uses the word equity I will throw up

#i don't know anything about anything #makes me wanna cry fr #why can't I just go to amazon and buy shares #just want a little bit of Microsoft and Apple #and theu talk about “when do you want to retire” and “10 years from now” like bitch I can't even imagine that far #i just wanna live in a cottage by the woods #the FUCK is a mutual fund i hate that word #finance #investing #relatable

I truly wish these celebrities, who are financially comfortable, would STFU on the common persons financial struggles.

#these mfers really be telling people about how to use their finances when they don't even handle their own money #like bitch don't tell me to what to do with my funds when im struggling just to eat some days cos I gotta decided to either eat or pay a bi #EAT THE FUCKING RICH!!!!!

genuine question, how are you supposed to reach 2000 calories each day? even if we were to eat our noodles samefood three times a day, we wouldn't reach that, but we can't financially afford to do that, we can barely cook because of disability, and we have no idea how we're supposed to be able to eat enough

#discussion of how many calories we do get in the next tag ->#we only manage to get i think 1000-1500 calories a day? and on bad days we get even less. it's not that we don't want to eat it's that we #struggle with preparing food and we struggle with the act of eating and we can't order takeout often enough because of finances. like #we're constantly hungry and we're really fucking tired of it we genuinely don't know what to do #rambling #calories cw #idk how to tag this content warning wise

It is sunday night. I remain exhausted.

#my stuff #i tried everything this weekend and nothing is healing my Existential Ambivalence #like i know i cooked and i saw friends and i did my hobbies and normally i'd be proud of myself for all that but i just...don't care #i wanna call out sick or something tomorrow. I'm worried about my finances and i genuinely think im gonna have to move somewhere cheaper #like i was expecting my tax return to offset the slow bleed of money from my savings each month and that Is Not Happening #And its not like i have any way to Make More Money #bc im a grad student and we're contractually prevented from doing so #So that means i'll need to move when my lease is up this summer and i really don't fucking want to #i like where i live i just wish it wasn't so goddamn expensive on rent #even like $200 cheaper would be world changing for me #but no instead i gotta look at my bills after power and car insurance and food and be like oops guess i lost $100 this month #and god forbid i get coffee or eat out in the cheapest way possible bc somehow that adds up to like $100 the second i look away #im sick of being anxious about this!! im not eating enough as it is!!#i also don't wanna get a fucking roommate bc i don't want someone in a space i've come to consider my own #like sorry but im transgender do not fucking look at me stranger #so the only real solution is to move and that's such a fucking hassle and it doesn't solve the problem now and i just want this to get bettr #i wish all students a very $2000 raise forever #and all landlords a very Scrooge Moment that makes you cut my rent in half #ave omnissiah

oh no. i feel like if i do not consume an entire load of bread in the very near future i will simply cease to exist.

#very uh. very worried about my finances right now #like. i'm fine. i have some savings. but i also just got to put something into my savings for the first time in a VERY long time and now #now i immediately have to take it out #and i'm getting stressed out about buying groceries #because if i dip into my savings here what about there? where is the line?#and i owe so much to taxes but i can't exactly afford getting less of my pay......#my last paycheck was $0.66 more than my rent #my insurance is refusing to reimburse the last of my electrolysis visits from last year and like #i'm SO over the fight but that's $120. that i really actually kinda need?#and i'm starting to get that funny in the head feeling about wondering how i'm going to feed myself #i still feel so much shame about that funeral i went to years ago and my only thought during the reception after was about #how there was just so much food and i could actually eat my fill #i have leftovers for dinner tonight and it's fine but.... making a lovely vegan dish wasn't the best choice tbh #i feel like if i don't have a large helping of bread and meat i'm going to go insane #and it really REALLY doesn't help that i've apparently lost the ability to eat in the mornings #so i'm at quite a significant fuel deficit and it's stacking #but no matter how hungry i am in the morning the concept of processing solid food is just repulsive and daunting #eating a clif bar at 9am would take literally all of my spoons for the day #i was looking at protein shakes since i can handles *drinking* breakfast #but the cheapest one that meets my dietary requirements is $35 for a 12pack #and i'm uh. i'm worrying over spending $10 on produce this week #personal #and nevermind that i don't have the spoons to even GO shopping (:#(on an aside i switched back to my regular melatonin gummies last night and i Actually Slept. so hopefully that will continue and help some)#i just want to curl up in a ball on the floor and have someone gently place a roll of bread and hunk of cheese next to me in my enclosure #also it's photophobia season and i still feel like i haven't recovered from saturday #got too much sunlight and was nauseaus for half the day #my body feels so bad

Ella Ive been meaning to ask but what’s the deal with Jorge Messi, like my brother in christ why is your dad your agent have we not learned nothing from Britney Spears and celebrity child actors??? 😭😭💀

messi

#he's literally being used as the family's cash cow and his loyal ass is too blind to see it..#like i said his dad is the reason why he ended up in that tax evasion mess and his brother has ties with the cartel or smth i think #and yet he chooses to employ them as his agents and lets them handle his finances i have no words..#forget barcelona they don't even want to see messi end his career in argentina they want him in SAUDI ARABIA dfkm #like if messi can't see on his mother's life they're playing against him i have nothing to say atp #the line between family and business should never be blurred and if the neymar deal didn't teach messi that then. well ://#asks

My car needs a new part that's gonna cost $1k and I just don't have the money and I'm so over this capitalist hellscape

#i think im finally going to get on top of my finances and get hit with this shit #im really really REALLY reaching my breaking point #i literally don't have the money #but i need to fix my car or i cant go to work #so i just have to go even more into debt now #i cant handle anymore shit #like if it could please just stop piling on me #please #im begging all cosmic forces in the universe to just give me a fucking break
