eric80+FollowFuture Me is going to hate Present Me. Anyone else drowning in "Buy Now, Pay Later" receipts? 💳The holiday sales got me good. I used Klarna/Affirm for a few "big" Christmas gifts for the kids because the upfront cost was too high. It felt like free money at the time. Now I’m looking at my budget for January and realizing I have four different payment plans coming out of my account at the same time. I feel like I'm borrowing from my future rent money just to put presents under the tree. Is anyone else relying on these installment plans to survive the holidays? #BuyNowPayLater #DebtTrap #HolidayShopping #Budgeting #FinancialStress #Parenting #Christmas202500Share
BlazingKraken+FollowI may have to keep giving money to my daughter until we die. Even though my daughter is already 40 years old 🤦♀️💸I never imagined I’d be here—watching my 40-year-old daughter and her new husband, both broke, fighting over every dollar and accusing each other of secrets. My husband and I, in our 60s, paid for their wedding and now we’re still covering their bills. I hear them arguing about money, snooping through each other’s phones, and crossing boundaries just to feel secure. It’s exhausting! My son won’t help, blaming his sister for her mess. I want to support her, but I’m starting to feel used. Would you keep helping, or is it time to set boundaries? Please, tell me I’m not crazy for feeling this way! 😤🤦♀️🙃 #FamilyDrama #TrustIssues #FinancialStress #RomanticRelationships14151239Share
