People Think I Have Money. Yesterday, I Had $3 Left to Feed My Mom and Myself.

Yesterday, I had exactly $3 left to buy myself and my mom food, and my bank decided that was the perfect time to block my account because I entered the wrong password a couple of times. Another time, someone even asked me to borrow money as if I have money to spare. I think I need to spell it out to them, I am dead broke. I have debt that I don't even know how to pay despite having some questionable jobs.

I have downgraded my life to the point where I used to think about killing myself feels a lot cuter now. The life I have right now is even hell-ish and somehow despite it all, I keep my abundance mindset and thinking a lot less about dying. It's still there though, just an option Z for now.

Despite how bad I am struggling right now, I have this mindset, money comes to me easily, money is everywhere. If money is gone, tomorrow there will be money. Maybe money is even an illusion. What if there will be no money? well, that's interesting question. Maybe it's time to consider all options including the Z option.

Listen, I am tired. Even my other mom makes it challenging for me to earn money. I know making money is already challenging but I am dead tired. Like why would she even pay my $55 payment on installment. Like make it make sense? but I can't complain I guess. Everyone is struggling too. but I know damn well I can stretch that $55 in one go than having them on installment? That's just insane.

Then, this morning after going to the bank to fix my account and card, I decided to get a coffee and water. Somehow, I found out the water was about $1.7??????? like damn. I thought the water would be just a few cents. From my $13 I spent $1.7 on a fucking water and my coffee was like $1.4 something, that's even cheaper.

But when you manifest so hard and learn to cultivate abundance mindset, it doesn't bother me at all? It's interesting for sure that I throughout my life I rarely ask for a price. I just buy things regardless of the cost esp when I need them. It never registers to my decision making. Even when I have tight budget, I'd focus on functionality than price.

This is why despite money tight, I'd never skimp and skip on coffee because my brain runs on it. I tell my mom this, sure I can live without coffee or caffeine hitting my system but I will not be as near as productive as I am. Most I'd do is probably work about an hour, sleep and do some minor task. But when your job is all about speed, delivery and brain, I need it.

In a year I go on and off caffeine for weeks at a time but that typically aren't the days when I need to be work at a faster speed/rate. Maybe I am an addict. Though, like anything else I have tried, it's easy for me to quit and forget about it.

It's just that with coffee, I decided to keep that poison😂

Maybe in a world where there is no coffee, I'd be old enough not to need money / look for jobs to survive. I'd be ok living without coffee and won't care at all but that's not the reality I am in right now, so there is that.

    Keep 'paying yourself first' , in your case in the form of coffee! Debts can wait. Money is always temporary, a fleeting enigma. The most important thing is your own mental health and attitude towards it.

    Everything changes if you work hard and trust your own process, learn new skills. If something doesnt work out, alter course by a fraction. Small changes bring huge results over time and as a 'young un', you have a lot of time.

    Keep loved ones close and keep going and dont even forget, even people you dont know admire you.

    Have a great coffee fuelled weekend, Mac 😀

    Let's be broke and happy together, yayyyyy \🥳/

    WoW!! Buying things without asking, you're just like my mom in that regard. My mom just pays and says it's cheap... but she doesn't even know how much it cost 🫠🫠

    In my country, the very first thing we ask is "how much?" for anything, even if it's just candy. That's why I don't buy popcorn—$17 for a combo is just too much, same as with the water you bought. We are in no position to lend money because we don't have any 😵😵

    Seamos felices en bancarota juntos shiiiiiiiii \🥳/

    WoW!! Compras sin preguntar, eres igual a mi mama en ese aspecto, mi mama solo paga y dice que es barato.... Pero ni sabe cuanto costo 🫠🫠

    En mi pais lo orimero que preguntamos es el cuabto de cualquier cosa, asi sean caramelos. Por eso no compro cotufas, 17$ un combo pienso es exagerado, como con el agua que compraste. No estamos para orestar porque no hay 😵😵

  • Are you up for a side hustle, one that you can do for at least 4 hours a day, Mon to Friday, or even also during the weekends?

    It's of a 2D/3D graphical encoding task using GIS software. I'm writing a blog about it for my fellow Filipinos, particularly homebodies who are looking for some extra income or even as a main source of livelihood.

    Although the blog is being written for my fellow Filipinos, the job is open to people all over the world.

    padahal bikin kopinya juga butuh air ya? kok malah mahalan air putihnya? Semangat selalu Cem. :) !PIMP !LUV

  • You forgetting your card PIN is so brutally funny 'coz that's also me, LOL. My memory is so bad that I had to tell my bestie my passwords 😂

    I keep my abundance mindset and thinking a lot less about dying. It's still there though, just an option Z for now.

    That kind of mindset will take you far. If plan Z didn't work out, we're about to make a whole fucking new set of alphabets. That's your asset. And yeah, go get that coffee and never feel guilty about it.

    honestly, i am in a similar sort of situation. I do not have work since few years...i used to live a carefree life earlier, but now once fell short of money i do realize its importance. It is better to cut short of own requirement. but i avoid taking loans or credit.

    Sometimes, what people see from the outside has very little to do with what someone is actually going through. We rarely know the financial or emotional struggles behind another person's daily life. I hope things get easier for you. And perhaps, one day, coffee will be just something you enjoy rather than something you need to keep going. Take care of yourself 🫂🫂🫂
