#money stress

[foldingfittedsheets]

Goddamn it. Leeloo has been wheezing and coughing. I was trying to get her pet insurance and it turns out having a body is a preexisting condition so I went to all the effort of signing up yesterday but I think I have to cancel it. It’s really expensive and if I have to radiographs for her and they aren’t covered I’m gonna be sweating my finances.

Money struggles are part of why I am scared as fuck to ever be a mother. I work full-time 40 hours a week and I am still in the negatives. I literally do not know what I would do if I had to provide for a baby.

If anyone is willing to help me out, I get paid Friday and depending on how much I get paid, I can pay you back...I just need like 20-25 bucks for work drinks this week until friday...I can make coffee at home with my keurig but don't have any other drinks I could bottle up for work

My păypal is: [email protected] if anyone is kind enough to help me out this week

I've tried doing the cash advance apps like Dave and stuff, but they're fucking stupid and go through something called Plaid, and Plaid doesn't work with my credit union for some reason :/

Thank you again for anyone that helps me, bless your hearts <3

It feels really weird doing this xD but I guess talking about asking for help/feedback/generally venting about stuff (minor or otherwise) is always gonna feel weird? Is that what I'm doing right now? I have no idea. But anyway, writing it all out will hopefully help get it off my chest and I can try to move on to practical things. Mregh.

So I'm working on a series of oneshots about the first year of Kingsley's life (it was initially gonna be just the first six months before M9 Reunited but then I had some ideas that would only make sense after that, so here we are), and I've managed to get exactly one of them done so far. Which is good! I've got a second one in the works and a list of ideas for the others, buuuut I've managed to get myself stuck in the middle of the second one. Turns out it's hard to write Caduceus and Kingsley interactions when you have nothing to base them on XD and I guess that means I need a beta/somebody to bounce ideas off of. My regular beta (who is a wonderful person and one of my closest friends and who I love very much) is busy with real life stuff like work, so I don't want to bother them, and the people I want to ask to take a look at stuff and get ideas from are busy with their own fics and projects, and I don't want to bother them either. So here we are. I have anxiety up the wazzoo for a lot of things, including this, so it feels weird just putting a Tumblr post out there asking for help with something as silly as a fanfic...

And I'm always sort of afraid of writing Kingsley 'wrong', if that makes sense. Like, I know he's not Lucien or Molly, he's himself and there are echos of them in him, but with my whole belief that the memories of the previous purples are still there (just locked up until he's ready and comfortable enough as Kingsley to take them back and not get overwhelmed by them) and they sometimes leak out (the problem traveling with your past lives family is there's plenty of triggers there for stuff to slip through the cracks without context), and I worry that that makes it seem like I'm trying to turn him into Molly when I swear that's not what I'm thinking at all. So there's THAT layer to the anxiety as well.

So here I am with one one shot done, one about halfway done that I need a bit of a push with, and a list of ideas that I haven't started in on yet because I haven't gotten the second one done, and a lot of nerves about never getting anything done. Like, I'm not even gonna tag this because this is mostly just me trying to work out my anxiety about stuff (but uh if anyone is interested in helping or looking at some Kingsley stuff lemme know I guess), and I hope it helps. I've been having a lot of anxiety and nervousness about a lot of crap lately, and compared to other stuff, this is just such a minor bullshit thing to get wound up about.

God, anxiety SUCKS, y'all. It's the stupidest most irrational thing. Like 'ooh you wanted to do this as a fun lil side project to keep the creative juices going during downtime at work NOPE YOU'RE OBSESSED AND NERVOUS NOW ENJOY FEELING WEIRD WHENEVER YOU'RE AT YOUR LAPTOP FOR UNRELATED REASONS'.

#sometimes talking about your problems into the void of the internet helps #even if they're very minor bullshit problems like 'im having trouble writing fanfic and am afraid to bother anyone about it' #like this is the least important worry in my life at the moment #there's job stress my cat's health stress my mom's health stress #money stress #stress that seems to have no cause #this is a stupid thing to worry about #but maybe I keep coming back to worrying about it because it's minor and therefore feels like it should be fixable #but I want people to like me and Im so afraid of bothering them or seeming too self centered #and trying to ask internet strangers for help on something you're emotionally invested in can be a mixed bag #ughhhhhh #i miss having a therapist even if my last one stopped being effective ages ago

Money's looking a lot tighter than expected, and I've been trying to push my novels, but fuck if trying to sell your creative ideas self pub style isn't the most embarrassing thing ever. Couldn't hack it in Trad pub, can't find a better job, can't cut my budget thinner, I don't know what to do. I'm so tired. Would my time be better spent looking for a shit job, or just trying to write more in hopes anyone will read it

Truly hate that it's Tuesday night and I've applied for 8 jobs this week and I still feel like "wow I'm so lazy" because I'm fucking broke.

#personal #money stress #i didn't spend that much time on my clients but i...only have three clients #so there's not that much time to spend #i just hate capitalism that i can look at my day and be like 'objectively i am trying very hard' #but i look at my bank account and i'm still like 'wow i am incredibly lazy'

oh my god do not click links in emails that tell you to verify your data or your bank account gets locked or click links in messages telling you your safety protocol is ending, like, tomorrow, you will get SCAMMED SO BAD AND YOU WILL LOSE A LOT OF FUCKING MONEY never ever let anyone pressure you into giving away login information especially to your online banking by creating a sense of urgency oh my GOD

some things to look out for

1. spelling mistakes. do you know how many rounds of marketing and sales experts these things go through? if theres a spelling mistake dont click it

2. not using your name. if an email adresses you with "dear customer" or, even worse, a generic "ladies and gentlemen", it is most likely not actually targeted to you

3. verifying or login links. even IF your bank was stupid enough to send these to customers, dont EVER click those. look at me. they can legally argue that youve given your data away and thus they dont have to pay you anything back DONT CLICK THAT FUCKING LINK

4. creating a sense of urgency. do this or we lock your account next week. do this or your ebanking stops working tomorrow. give us all your money in cash or your beloved granddaughter will get HANGED FOR MURDERING BABIES. no serious organisation would ever do something like that over email or sms. ever. hands off.

5. ALWAYS CHECK WHO SENT YOU THE EMAIL. the display name and the email adress can vary a LOT. anyone can check the display name. look at the email adress. does it look weird? call the fucking place it says its from. you will likely hear a very weary sigh.

6. if its in a phonecall, scammers love preventing you from hanging up or talking to other people to have a little bit of a think about whats happening. there should always be a possibility to go hey i wanna think about this ill call back the official number thanks.

7. do not, i repeat, do NOT a) call a phone number flashing on your screen promising to rid your computer of viruses after clicking a dodgy link and b) let them install shit on your computer like. uh. idk. teamviewer.

7.i. TEAM VIEWER LETS PEOPLE USE YOUR COMPUTER HOWEVER THEY WANT AS LONG AS THEYRE CONNECTED. IF YOU DONT KNOW FOR FUCKING SURE YOURE TALKING TO ACTUAL TECH SUPPORT DONT GIVE ANYONE ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER.

fun little addendum: did you know a link can just automatically download shit? like. a virus? an app you can't uninstall unless you reset your entire device? dont click links unless youre extremely sure you know where they lead. hover your mouse over it and check the url.

thanks.

#inspired by a customer who had 10 THOUSAND euros stolen bc they clicked a dodgy link and then entered their info #'oh i was so stressed in the moment' thats what theyre counting on PLEASE dont do this you will lose so much money #sometimes money you dont even have #do you know how much overdraft your bank account comes with? #sometimes the answer is 15k fucking euros

Ugh I don't get paid until next Friday and my account is on the low side, there isn't really anything I can microwave/cook at home....I hate asking this but could someone lend me like 20-50 bucks so I can get food to hopefully last me this weekend? I'll try to pay you back either with this upcoming paycheck (if its more than it has been) or when I can, I have Pypl and Vnmo

Thank you for any help and I'll definitely try to pay you back when I can 🥺😭🖤

……

😳

I…

….

So… I don’t believe in things like those “reblog to get money” posts. Usually i ignore them. But last week I thought, fine, I’m desperate enough.

Soon after, my state issued a one time tax rebate for $260 that I got deposited.

By the weekend I was informed that my $45,000 student loan debt had been forgiven. In full. Like GONE.

Today…

Today, in my mailbox, was a letter from the US Treasury Department with a check for a little over $1,000 refunding me for student loan costs.

Like????

I don’t even know what to do with myself????

I can suddenly afford to take my dog to the vet???

I can buy fast food for lunch???

Like I has THREE DOLLARS i my bank account???

I pray as well though I hate to ask for myself but???

Anyway I don’t typically talk about my personal life but I needed to share this.

do you think the obsession with ‘style consistency’ in online art communities is mostly caused by this idea that your art style needs to be easily marketable & recognizable as a brand (especially when you’re working as a freelancer). i see the /least/ amount of progress in my art whenever i try to aim for style consistency. i don’t know exactly where i’m going with this but i think there’s some sort of connection between trying to monetize/market your art & limiting your growth as an artist. and i think it’s very sad.

#in theory i don't really want to monetize my art i just want to make things. but if i was going to make money out of anything #i'd at least want it to be something i like doing. you understand my problem. #i don't know if i posted this before & deleted it. i have a tendency of deleting my thoughts as soon as i post them. but #this is something i think about a lot. especially when i think about my goals for the future. like opening up a patreon. or making a website #i don't know what makes my art 'my art' other than the fact i made it. i don't know how to theme my future patreon or my website #and it stresses me out thinking that i'll do better if i can market it in a specific linear way #that isn't really natural to how i think about art in general

We are a single family income of 5, and we were struggling before Covid hit. Our only vehicle has weeks left, my husband commutes and we are living paycheck to paycheck.

Some nights we just look at each other and take a deep breath because I know we are both just waiting for the other shoe to drop...security isn't in our vocabulary right now.

I'm so thankful that I have him to do this with. I can't imagine working this hard with someone I didn't love and respect so much.
