I don’t think spending is specific to here, as it’s probably seeing things on other social media that cause me to spend stupidly more than here.
But like anything that you find fun, you’ll find people shopping and vacationing here, and then you can get sucked into a warped sense of what should be normal for you.

Am I the only one that likes the spending threads? I ain't getting a Chanel purse anytime soon, but I enjoy seeing everyone else's pretty purchases.

And I’m a sheep. I’ve bought dumb shit because tiktok told me to. So I get it. I know people don’t live their finances at me. My comment was more towards those trying to keep up and failing at it.

I stay out of the shopping threads for the most part because they put me in a bad headspace. But I'm not mad at anyone spending money they have.
But like next time you've got cash burning a hole let me know and I'll send you my wishlist.

If we can’t pay our heat bill I’m not looking at vacation threads. ETA: on time. Our bills get paid but maybe they’re late one month.

We went through a period of struggling financially and being paycheck to paycheck and I would not have liked those threads.

My biggest anxiety is always going through US/Canada customs. I know we are not doing anything wrong and we don't have anything we shouldn't, but I'm still anxious until we get through. I have a story of trying to get from St Lucia from our honeymoon.

I do not have words for how I felt coming in here thinking the multiple pages meant something fun had happened, and finding vomit. The owl is me. You can buy fake owl vomit. I saw it yesterday at the store. You say “the store” like you just went to Target and saw fake owl vomit.

So we did not go on our honeymoon until two or three months after our wedding. Because I am dumb I booked the flights in my maiden name but got a new passport I am with my married name. So I called Delta and explained and ask them to re-issue the tickets in my married name. They said just bring your marriage certificate with you and they’ll get it taken care of. Well when we were in Pittsburgh I showed them my marriage certificate they re-print the boarding passes with my married name and it wasn’t a problem.
When we were heading home it from St. Lucia, the very nice workers at the St. Lucian airport couldn’t understand why my passport didn’t match the tickets. I gave them the marriage certificate but they kept asking if we got married in St. Lucia while we were there. They took my passport and my marriage certificate away from the counter and went into a back room for at least 15 or 20 minutes. H was freaking out. He thought I was going to be stuck there. I figured worst-case scenario was I would just have to buy another $800 plane ticket back home under the married name. I tried to get him to go through without me because he was stressing me out. It was a very stressful 30 minutes and we ran right to the bar once we got through.

Wondering =\= judging, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em. Yes, but this isn’t the first time spending wasn’t brought up here. And it was definitely a judgment. I can’t count how many times folks have mentioned what others spend makes them feel a certain way. If it were up to me other people’s spending habits should be off limits. Now I fully accept that I’m just being jaded because of the whole Dolores debacle.

I don’t judge spending. I truly don’t. I’ve had a bit of wiggle room these last two years and I’ve spent some of it on fuckery. I just wonder if the pressure to keep up is clouding people into financial chaos. yes. The answer is yes it has. I know this for a fact as in a poster told me this out their cyber mouth.

I guess I assumed people spend like I do. I see that’s flawed.
