  Why did you delete this? It’s true. No idea why someone downvoted this true but deleted comment.

  This is really taking a pretty harmless comment too seriously. The point is shit is expensive and clients want everything cheap. Any freelancer can relate to this particular framing. I used to have people want $300 websites and they didn’t care that it would take potentially a week to build their site. Surely just abstractly we can all relate to shit being expensive though?

  Thanks for this response. I do think our parents were more similar than you’d think. And I hadn’t really examined what I was taught about money as closely as you. I was never taught in anything in a systematic way, it was more like thousands of little interactions about saving money (because we “couldn’t afford” something I wanted, often; or if it was my money, what about things I wanted later?) and also just always knowing we were struggling financially.

  For me, it was more than enough to think twice about spending large amounts. Then over the years I combined that sort of thinking with specific saving strategies I taught myself. For me, the constant barrage of recommending I save my money, or that we couldn’t afford something, or that we had to help my dad make some extra money, was enough to make me think about it all before going hog wild. Then I built up an untenable credit card balance in my early twenties and that was a wake up call too. I felt I knew better, so I swore off spending money I didn’t have unless I “had to”.

  My siblings though? They didn’t learn shit. They blow most of their money on whatever and afaik they are both still in debt. Every time they get unexpected money they see it as free money to spend. Maybe I should blame my parents more, because they needed more/different guidance? It also doesn’t help them that my parents bail them out financially every couple of years.

  Your parents sound eerily like mine though in some ways. A core memory I have is when I was probably about ten I was handed a paintbrush and told to paint my closet. I started about doing it without any instruction whatsoever and was scolded for doing it wrong! I responded that I literally had no idea what I was doing, they didn’t teach me, and only at that point did they teach me to use a paintbrush. But it was like you say, reactive to doing it wrong and nothing proactive at all… I don’t understand how I came out as functional as I did. Because they too did a lot of teaching the lazy way, tell you nothing ahead of time and then get mad when you didn’t know…

  Heh, I mean modeling can work in the intended way or by accident in the opposite way you’d expect. So yeah I’d say it worked for you :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one step closer to 100%'ing life!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just telling them to be smart with money is not what I’m talking about though. What I’m talking about is actually modelling and teaching some amount of knowledge about how to save.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one step closer to 100%'ing life!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, that’s true. I think in mine and many cases, wrapped up in the “being smart with money” lesson is saving, mitigating risk, and decreasing spending where possible. I at least hope most parents are defining what being smart actually looks like.

  You keep responding to comments with long unrelated comments of your own.

  Are you an LLM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes that was a tangent…

  My only point is that social media is toxic period and you cannot blame it on just AI or on just certain people. It brings out the worst in people. If I were benevolent dictator I would ban it entirely but I’m not so I’m not advocating for that since I know it’s not realistic.

  Social media is full of crap due to AI generated content and toxic people

  FTFY

  Guess it depends on your perspective but for me this just reminded me of how disgusting cigarettes are

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one step closer to 100%'ing life!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My parents did a lot to model being smart with money and only one of their kids (me) picked up on it. Kids often love being the opposite of what they’re taught, no matter how much it hurts them.

  This description is very similar to all versions of the teams app. It took them like 3 years to get it past what felt like a beta.

  Why is everything a shit post now? If this is real and an AI response it should go in a community whose concept isn’t essentially “this is probably fake”

  Ps being afraid of answering the phone is not a disability. I’ve had crippling social anxiety my whole life and don’t love phone calls either but I don’t make it my personality or anyone else’s problem. If someone calls me I either answer or not. I don’t seek approval for it being a tiny inconvenience (5 minutes of awkwardness at worst) I want to overblow.

  Do you think every person that isn’t specifically saying the same things you is vehemently against you?

  Because that’s what you wrote.
