CharlestheHammer posted:Oh my god people like you really exist. I am not kidding there was a temp that came through that showed up every morning with a 5 dollar coffee from dutch bros that complained about how little money they had. 5 bucks a day was about my entire food budget in undergrad. I get what you're saying with the boomers that shake their fist at this generation and go "I paid my way through school with my summer job" while not understanding that wages have stagnated and tuition has increased a bajillionfold but a lot of people are super bad at budgeting and don't seem to get that having uber eats every night and hitting the vending machines every break is the kind of frivolous spending that snowballs into not having any savings ever. I think those parents chose a bad way to do it but trying to teach their kids that getting a box of fruit rollups means not having that money to spend on other more important things is an admirable goal and I'm glad I learned it as a child.

Tantric j/oing is a radical rebellion against the outside world. This man is finding ecstasy in solitude, and that terrorizes the many.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to change her sweatpants if she wanted to have a date with me ?quote:So today my girlfriend and I were going to have dinner together (I'm paying) and I went to pick her up from the hospital were she was visiting his brother (new father). I asked her if she wanted to change before we go and she Refused because she was not going to change for a dinner that will last for 2 hours. So I insisted because I was nicely dressed and put some effort before going out, she got pissed but agreed and we drove to her place. Right now I'm downstairs waiting for her and I think I may have ruined the date but it made me feel like she didn't think a dinner with me is important enough for her to look dress nicely. She knew before hand we were going out, it's not fancy but still I don't like to feel like I'm not worth the effort to look pretty. r/relationships: the wait was worth it she was beautiful and pissed.

Aw c'mon! We can keep blaming brain tumors for everything. Own up to your attempts at wank mastery, or you'll never be the wise wank on top of the mountain. Also, honestly? Even bfc recommends no longer buying to go coffees to try and brown bagging lunches to save money and get your budget under control. Thise little 2 dollar Starbucks coffees do add up to a lot, and their sandwiches aren't that healthy or filling. That's not saying you cant ever get a treat once in a while, just dont buy coffee every day.

Society as a whole is offended at the idea that you should live within your means instead of accumulating tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt/car loans/etc. I don't judge people who are poor and desperate to have some small nice thing for once, or people who make the conscious decision that a starbucks coffee every morning is worth more to them than a new phone/buying a house slightly sooner/whatever, but there are plenty of people out there who could afford some of the things they want & go into debt because they feel entitled to all of the things they want.

PetraCore posted:Learning to budget is a good thing and can be accomplished with a limited allowance. Teaching your kid that if mom or dad gets sick and can't work the family will starve creates anxiety, depression, and a warped view of money. In actually poor households, this is unavoidable, but doing it when you actually do have the economic security to handle emergencies is irresponsible and hosed up. Correct, you can teach a child the value of money without telling them that if they get a candy bar the family will starve

AITA for physically removing a tourist’s hands off an Ancient Greek statue? As an art history major, one of the things that really makes my blood boil is when people touch statues when they are explicitly told not to do so and do not have the proper equipment needed to handle them. The main reason why you should never touch the statues (unless otherwise posted) is that the oil from hands actually wears down the material. When I was at the Louvre today, I saw this Chinese tourist grabbing an Ancient Greek statue dating from the Late Hellenistic era (c. 323-31 BCE) by the finger while her husband was trying to take a picture. Completely out of my instincts, I actually (gently) took the woman’s hands off the statue and very sternly told her not to touch the statues. While that gallery was a loud madhouse, was I being an rear end in a top hat for taking the woman’s hand off the statue? Edit: Thank you everyone for your responses! It was interesting and eye-opening to see a whole range of different opinions here. Since many took issue to the fact I made physical contact with the tourist, I will try to refrain from doing so in the future and talk to them first. However, my passion and drive to preserve art for future generations is still as strong as ever.

Mickey's Christmas Carol is probably the cartoon you mean. Mickey slices a pea in half while Minnie covers her face in anguish. The cassette tape I had as a kid takes it a step further with Mickey listing what they're eating for dinner. It includes 'two raisins each' and 'half a walnut'.

AITA for blaming my boyfriend for his flakiness and not “bad luck?” My boyfriend has missed a lot of events and dates that were important to me over the past couple of months. A few include: -canceling my birthday dinner because he had a rough time at work and just wanted to cuddle at home -cancelling our anniversary dinner for the same reason and because he was worried about money -dipping out of our RESCHEDULED anniversary celebrations because he had a headache -trying to back out of coming to a performance I worked on because he was so late (somehow managed to take 80 minutes to get from his work to the theatre, which for reference was about a 35 minute walk away, or 20 minutes in public transport). -canceling our plans to go to the pride parade because he had a stomach ache. -canceling several more casual dates because he didn’t feel like leaving the house If it was one or two instances of this, I would absolutely understand. I want to support my BF if he’s feeling sick or had a bad day. But it seems pretty much impossible to get him to go out; every time I manage to get him out of the house, we have a big fight about something stupid. When we stay home, no such issues. He keeps saying these things are out of his control; feeling sick or sad is not under his control. And I understand that, but it feels like he could still be making an effort to reschedule when he feels better, or at least be understanding about why I’m upset. Every time I bring the issue up and ask him to do better, he gets really defensive and refuses to admit that he has done anything wrong AITA for blaming him for being so flakey and wanting him to do better? Edit: thanks for your comments everyone. I knew that we both struggle with depression sometimes, but honestly it had never even occurred to me that his cancelling would be because of it (especially since he seems perfectly content whenever we stay home, not depressive).

They were not the slightest bit surprised or concerned to be touched. I'm not saying this is a good excuse, but seriously.....their ideas of personal space are wildly different. And Chinese tourists have done a lot of work earning their reputation.

It’s just something dumb people latch onto to give them a reason for their superiority complex Buy one on occasion, no. But buying one EVERY DAY when you're not making a whole lot actually does add up. And more importantly it's an easy indicator of the thought someone puts into personal finance if they are bitching about being broke all the time. Because you know it doesn't stop with that $130 worth of coffee each month.....it just gets worse with dinner (eating out/ordering in). Some people are just blind to "small" expenses and basic addition and multiplication. Willfully, so they can just keep doing what they are doing.
