Hello beeple! Another week, another thread, this one kind of late 🙃. Feel free to comment below with anything and everything money related that is better suited to a conversation or a quick question and answer than a full post. Some ideas include:

  • Journaling about an ongoing job search
  • Asking for ideas about how to manage an emergency fund
  • Logging recent stock trades
  • Talking about the impact of inflation on your budget
  • Your plans for maximizing the rewards on a credit card

Again, those are just suggestions, if there’s really anything you’d like to talk about related to finance in your life, feel free to put it here.

    My mother’s internal review went through and she not only is going back on disability, but because the decision to kick her off was a wrong decision, they’re giving her almost a year’s worth of backpay.

    Things this means:

    • We can actually move to a place without a landlord and her son living in it, giving us tenant rights and the ability to communicate with a landlord without worrying we’re going to get evicted
    • We can even afford movers
    • We might not have to go to a food bank anymore
    • We can now budget things instead of being like “okay that goes to rent, that goes to debt, and anything leftover is groceries”
    • I don’t have to hunt for a job while physically and mentally incapable of doing one right now

    I’m honestly so thrilled my head hurts.
