except it seems like people "need a helping hand" literally every other day, for increasingly mundane things, and when shit like this gets replurked into oblivion it's irritating to have to keep muting it over and over again
e-begging is embarrassing and even if i really needed the money i'd find other venues besides hitting up strangers on the internet for it. also agreeing with anons above that rent generally doesn't sneak up on you, and if you're blowing money on stupid shit like animoo merchandise and con tickets i have even less sympathy for your situation. so many of my friends do this and then they go and cry about boohoo dead end job stuck with shitty parents and i'm just like ??? try saving up sometime then instead of blowing your paycheck immediately
THIS, so much this. most of the people i see e-begging on my timeline are financially irresponsible to the max.
inb4 poor people are allowed to have fun, too!!1!11 as a fellow poor person: you kind of need to pick your fun according to your financial situation. i can't go to the super special midnight premiere of winter x-men dragon trainers with three friends if that shit costs 30 bucks a ticket. i can't spend a weekend going to a con. it's just not happening within my current budget. but i can watch a movie i want to see a couple of weeks later, when the price has dropped, and i can get myself a nice book or dvd or other hobby-related thing on sale.
it is entirely possible to be poor and still have nice things within (general) your limits
pisses me off so much when people blow money left and right on shit they absolutely do not need then cry and deadcat about how they're having panic attacks because they can't pay rent and buy their bus pass or gas up their car
it's not the end of the world if you can't see guardians of the galaxy at midnight in 3d with a jumbo tub of popcorn or if you have to wait til that brand new $60 video game goes down in price, i promise
