this news about the tariffs dropping feels like a joke to me. everyone around me is talking about investments, like it’s nothing. i can barely keep up with rent and still have to dodge calls from the bank. you know, after my best friend left, it’s like all my financial stress got amplified... i opened a food delivery app and calculated my last order, only to realize it’s been a week of instant noo...
literally sitting here, counting the spare change from the couch cushions like it’s my new retirement plan, hoping no one notices I’ve added five dust bunnies to my "net worth," while imagining my bank account does some crazy backflips to impress the landlord, who actually thinks I have a savings plan when I can barely plan what to eat for lunch—if I can find any food not expired in the back of th...
