RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

...kind of a bummer that I can't tell anyone in my family because half of them (including my parents) will look at me like an ATM whose job it is to set myself on fire in order to keep them warm.

Congratulations on your financial victory! Freedom from debt gives real relief, even if it has to be concealed because of the toxicity of relatives. Now it is important to protect your success and focus on the last step — the mortgage . To control finances, it is useful to know the experience of others, for example, with 21st Mortgage https://21st-mortgage.pissedconsumer.com/review.html .Reviews indicate possible difficulties with the service, so vigilance will help you avoid unnecessary overpayments and become completely independent faster.

This next paycheck will be the first one where I don't have to make that payment and I am STOKED.
