Hello Money Anger · 7:32am Apr 22nd, 2020
Welp, my uncle just pissed me off (what a shock).
My uncle stopped me before I could get in the shower today and asked if I got the COVID stimulus check, and I was like “no, why?”. I mean, obviously I was not expecting that out of the blue. He says he’s asking because his friend Nick said I would get the check. Obviously Nick did not do his research like I did, because that is not true. And I was like “well, I filed and all but my parents claim me as a dependent on their taxes” and he’s like “How can you be a dependent on their taxes and still file?” in this way that’s like he’s trying to make it my fault, and meanwhile I’m just thinking “Fuck if I know, man. I’m just trying to survive here.”.
It was a really infuriating moment because why the hell is it his business if I got the check or not? It’s my money, not his. He always tries to act all higher up than me about finances for some reason. And even worse is the fact that he only gets like $160 more per month with his disability checks than I do, so who is he to try and get into my business when we’re pretty much in the same boat?
Above all this I’m also frustrated that Amazon’s shipping times are long, and that I’m like $8.00 short from being able to get something that could really help me with inducing lactation so I can donate my milk to premature babies, even with an advance on my paycheck. Dumb shipping charges...
In conclusion: Pray that I don’t lose my mind, y’all. Thank you.
We are all with you
You certainly do have all my prayers and best wishes as you navigate life within a house that is definitely far from being a home. :(
Money always makes for evil. Nobody should be acting volatile over it. especially a 'member of the family'. It's unfortunate you will not get it as $1,200 could go pretty far towards your goals. :(
Would you be up for a little commission work? If so, I'd hire you to help with the money you need for making your goal. :)
