I NEED A KIND WORD, BREHS. I'M DOWN TODAY.

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

The one thing I dislike about my days off are that it gives me way too much time to think.

My husband bought me a new car for Valentine's day and while I love it and I'm SUPER thankful, as the frugal party in our relationship I just look at it as an extra bill.

This one purchase has the increased our monthly bills by $600 not including gas and maintenance.

I'm down, Brehs.

I feel like I'm drowning. Everywhere I turn there is a bill. Rent, water, lights, cable, daycare, phone, food, etc

I don't want to tell him how I feel because we HAVE money I just don't like spending it.... Plus I don't want to seem ungrateful. I love my new car. It's pretty....

I hate being an adult

Someone make it 2007 again so I cherish my last year as a minor...

Nah, fukk a kind word


Tell his irresponsible ass to take that moneypit back to the dealership

Wow. People out here feeling hopeless and you're complaining about how your husband bought you a new car and your bills (that you can afford to pay) are too high.

Just wow.

Hopefully someone steals that whip soon so you won't have to worry about it.

What kind of car?

If you can afford the extra $600 and still live the same lifestyle is that a huge problem?

Think the bigger thing you need to worry about is why your husband would make such a lavish purchase that you're obviously not comfortable with. Doesn't sound like you're both on the same page there.

Stop being a sissy

Nah, fukk a kind word

I was low-key pissed because I JUST paid off my old car.

Then I got enticed by the new car smell and paper tag.

Here's a nice poem I read about years ago


Better days ahead

There is just too much in life to get you down,
You're in over your head and you start to drown.
It seems like life is over, your heart is filled with dread,
But don't sweat it because better days are ahead.
The sun may be hidden behind those ominous clouds of gray,
But it'll come out again, may not be tomorrow or today.
Do not worry, for it can not rain all the time,
Someday that sun will come out and it will all be fine.
It might take some time to clean up the muck and the mud,
It even might take some sweat, tears, and blood.
But in the end, through the pain and the strife,
You'll have such a beautiful garden of your life.
So listen, my friend, to these words I have said
'Cause I promise there's better days ahead.

Hope it helps

You didn't just tell him "Babe, I love that you did this for me and I will never forget it, but we gotta get a cheaper option," did you?

Just gonna stew in despair when your man could possibly be of help no kind words. Get a backbone and say something

"I don't wanna seem ungrateful" Then tell him you want to enjoy the now, but don't want to burden the future with bills. Have him go with you to pick something

more modest out, and use the savings to go out for a romantic dinner where you can remind him why you love him.

But nahGotta get all bent outta shape. Are relationships really that damn difficult?

 

[Stir Fry]

Cheer up

Ahhh...Shut that shyt up.

People complain about much dumber things up here.

You just needed a response...

You got one.... Now you can get the fukk on...

It's a 2015 Ford Focus.

We are hardly ever on the same page when it comes to money. We have the income to afford this car however I enjoy saving and this makes it much harder.

I never understood newly financed cars as gifts

As a couple, that should be a joint decision assuming you guys share finances

A car and extra insurance is a significant part of a monthly budget, even if you got it like that

$600?
