His family is more understanding so it's $10-$15 per person. If I ****en saved money I wouldn't be in this mess. It's not like it sneaks up on you $50 a month would have given us more that enough. I'm just ****en ridiculous. Why can't I handle this like a normal human being?
I took more money out of my car fund because there are half off sales that end tonight. |
I’m sorry but my bluntness meter is screaming here
You are mutilating YOURSELF over the stupidity of thinking you even have to buy a ton of gifts for everyone !!!
You just can’t afford it F^#^ people if they can’t understand gifts are not needed for them , buy for kids ? Sure but OMFG put a limit on amount of money you can afford to spend.
You constantly run out of money to even feed your family every month , yet you are focusing on a stupid holiday ????
L, please get your priorities right and stop making your life and body a bloody mess.
Don’t you need a car running , gas and insurance Plus food on your table more that material gifts likely forgotten and discarded in days or weeks by your family ???
If your parents can spend a thousand on gifts that’s great , obviously they can afford it ... you need basic supplies and food for your family first.
I just can’t wrap my head around your priorities.
Keep your self harm clean unless you want a infection that will cost money to heal that you don’t have.
Sorry if I was too blunt but it’s all truth you just can’t see it.
