Truth

I would guess the few people reading this are already SomethingAwful.com forum members but if not, continue reading. The SA Forums have been the #1 best resource for me on the Internet for multiple topics, but right now I’m only focusing on personal finance. The extensive content available on various financial topics that are actively discussed, the feedback available from both regular Joes and professionals alike, and the platform available, is unparalleled. All of it for a one-time $9.95 registration fee. If you’re looking for solutions and advice about your financial issues/questions, I suggest registering and lurking for a month. Then make a post in the BFC Newbie thread. If there is enough interest, enough of a problem observed, perhaps a suggestion will be made to make a new thread. The lurking is necessary to understand beforehand that the response to your post/thread make contain a hefty amount of vitriol. You’ll need a strong stomach. Read my thread(s) and you’ll see. Despite making quite a bit of progress I was consistently met with what may seem like negative responses but really were just people trying to help and I brought about most of that negativity on my own. I was receiving pats on the back and “good job!” comments and then blew a couple thousand dollars on Bitcoin gambling, and the responses changed drastically. I end this post by admitting that despite my financial fuck-ups and despite the negativity voiced in my thread(s), I’ve improved my personal financial situation and mindset towards finances tremendously, and much credit goes to the anonymous goon-folks at SA. So much more so than I’d have gotten from anywhere else.

  1. Hi, zaurg! I quit reading the thread maybe a month ago because, while I fully support telling you when you’re being a dummy about things, the all-out well-filling to no purpose was just boring and stressful. (I don’t know what kind of language you allow here, LOL.)

    Anyway, I think you might find you feel better about things without the mob randomly beating you up because they’re bored or whatever. Stick to your budget just to prove you can.

    1. I always thought I needed that mob to continue pushing me, but maybe you’re right. Perhaps it was the mob who needed me? Will they find another well to fill? I think the mob will always survive and I can’t worry about that. Stick to my budget to prove it for me and my family – got it – yes, that’s what I’ll do. Thank you.
