haha ok ok ill go!
my partner got job that pays good money but the money goes POOF immediately because we have to take care of our siblings and other family, and my fiance sends money back to cuba. im sure we will be middle class eventually but its harder if you have a soul. also we finally have enough for my dream wedding/ honeymoon (4000$) so thats amazing. it feels so weird not being broke as fuck. its amazing, my hair is growing, my skin is clear, my panic attacks are mostly gone. my parents should have been middle class but they burned money and also stole a lot of money from family for years. so growing up we would have money for trips to my dads country one year and then not have enough for new clothes the next.
I definitely get the bit about paying for family. I supported my mom for about 5 years and my partner supported theirs for over a decade. It’s good to hear you’re feeling less stressed, though.
yeah im very grateful, and it feels good to help family.
you don't have to share all the time but maybe now and then it's okay. i don't really understand the self-censorship though, i dont even think about oversharing most of the time.
my closest friends, brothers really, went from poverty, poor town, lots of horrible personal tragedies, single mother, didn't even finish 9th grade to making well over six figures. finally they can get their rotting teeth looked at, eat well, do fun things, buy whatever they wanted from back in the day or whatever they want now. don't feel bad about coming up just dont punch down and be a piece of shit as you do it. im happy for you. be careful of lifestyle inflation, i sure eat out a lot more now that i can afford it.
the more personal info I share the more personal the insults of the people who comb through my post history lol. who knows maybe someone will say my other perspectives are invalid now. ill get over myself lol. its not that serious. and god yes i got my wisdom teeth out!!!!! amazing. and yes I was eating out way too much but ive been cooking and ive gotten pretty good at it. im still thrifting and being frugal. my biggest indulgence is my skincare routine and getting my hair done regularly (i look amazzzzzzzing). but wasting too much money gives me a rash lol.
