#rainy day fund.

[bitchesgetriches]

Do you have a good way to get started building an emergency fund/investing for someone who can maybe spare at the most $100 a month? I am desperate for a safety net but i don’t know where to start and have just been stashing it in my standard savings.

Not to worry, my pet! Here are our emergency fund how-to articles:

so I’m fighting off a cold rn that Brian is currently in the grips of, which isn’t great, especially bc I have work tomorrow and frankly I could use the income so I’d prefer not to have to cancel

but on the other hand I made peanut butter pasta for lunch, and our A/C finally seems to be working properly, and (in between bouts of sniffles) Brian and I have been discussing how the recent election events have so far shaken out far more positively than either of us dared hope. And I’m drinking a grapefruit radler left over from the weekend float trip.

it’s not the worst way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

spending a ridiculous amount of money on WWWY tickets is way easier when you remember that money is just fake little numbers on a screen that let you sometimes do fun things

Man the people who write these financial articles are so out of touch.

"Just stay within your budget, take less vacations, don't splurge chasing the latest trends" like tell me you haven't lived paycheck to paycheck without telling me you haven't lived paycheck to paycheck

Financial planning for truckers 

Financial planning is something a lot of folks in the industry overlook, but it’s super important if you want to stay afloat and keep your wheels rolling. First, let’s talk about budgeting. It might sound like a boring topic, but think of it as your roadmap. Without a clear budget, it’s like driving without a GPS. You know your income can be pretty unpredictable, especially with fluctuating fuel…

In less than two months it will be October 7th again.

In less than two months, it will be a year of genocide. 

In light of this, I just have only one request for you; please do not give into whatever you are describing as “compassion fatigue” right now.

Realize that this is exactly what the colonizers conducting this genocide want you to feel. Realize that apathy during a genocide is what leads to the normalization of atrocities. Realize that this is a tried and tested method found throughout history; that now when the genocide is been widely documented by Gazans themselves- the only way the colonizers can get away with it is by running you down and making you feel hopeless!

They want you to stop caring about their victims and this is why you need to fight harder now more than ever!!

I request you to fight harder for every Gazan! And therefore request you to fight for my friend Siraj Abudayeh too, whose family recently faced another assault. His parents and siblings had to flee to him for protection, because their areas ( Hamad, southern Khan Younis) were marked for assault from occupation forces. With the number of people depending on him increased now, Siraj has a much heavier responsibility on his shoulders to raise enough funds to support all of them and their needs, when prices of food water and other essentials are already skyrocketing.

With the coming of the rainy season, there comes the danger of epidemics spreading from open sewers as well! Siraj’s son Amir has already fallen ill, and his other two sons are showing symptoms too- they are in dire need of medical treatment! I cannot overstate how badly Siraj and his family need these funds!! How badly he needs your continuous support.

There has been a significant drop in engagement with fundraising posts and I very clearly remember, someone tagging one of my posts with compassion fatigue. It shocked me to my core to think that the cries of Free Palestine could fade so suddenly; that after only a year some of you have begun to feel fatigued, from having to care about this.

Do not give in please; do not let the colonizers make you complicit in this horror! They know that if they can overwhelm you enough, then one day the videos and posts would stop hitting as hard and sooner or later everyone will stop talking about Palestine. This cannot happen again! Not when your attention can literally save a life! This is the power you hold- especially if you are living in the Imperial core. The colonizers are afraid of it. You have to know this and believe this!

So please do not turn away and help Siraj get to 50k as soon as possible!

He is currently only at $45,044 / $82,000 CAD
