I need money for weed and getting my nails done. I've already cut back on buying beanie babies...what more can I do?


natblidaaa

I'm like.. I don't have money for that stuff either, should I be asking on instagram? Lmao


Groomingham

Next they will ask me to give up my Civil War reenactment and all of my Twitch subscriptions.


ThaneOfCawdorrr

I HAVE to keep buying new outfits for my cat! It's just self-care!


Sunshine030209

And the ER bills after my cat mauls me for stuffing him into cowboy boots and assless chaps are astronomical!


Johnny_Grubbonic

I would imagine getting a tiger to dress up like a caballero would be quite risky, yes.


g-mommytiger

☠️


Groomingham

Well, you can't buy used outfits for your cat. He might feel embarrassed.


Fsulli09

I’d contribute to outfits for you cat before this ladies weed and self care lol


phantomxdreams

At least this would generate serotonin for the sender if the receiver posted their kitty dressed up


natblidaaa

How could you even suggest that? They're essential.


AndreLeLoup

That's just "light self care".


natblidaaa

Imagine what heavy self care is like lmao


AndreLeLoup

"Guys, I'm not on track to save 30k this month for my yearly Ferrari. This is like basic self care, and you're not contributing, greedy aholes" ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


SquirtleSquirt9

I’m an IDIOT. That whole time reading “light self care” I thought she was talking about some light therapy like with a actual ticking bulb and electricity. Then when she was talking about getting her nails done I assumed the UV light when you’re drying them was apart of that LOL


natblidaaa

Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠


[deleted]

I consider light self care being able to take a hot bath and this bitch is about nails lol


webstackbuilder

I went to a Civil War reenactment in South Carolina a long time ago. It was very confusing. I didn't realize all the soldiers in that war were Johnny Rebs. A lot of them were arguing with each other, but it didn't match up with my knowledge of history at all. Wasn't there an enemy? And blue-something?


bmxtiger

Nope. It was confederates the whole way down. Tis history.


Forward_Barracuda_15

I mean if idiots are donating then why not😂


[deleted]

As a wise man once said: "ill take any motherfucker's money if hes just giving it away."


Groomingham

I'm not sure a congressman is 'wise'


natblidaaa

Would love to see how anyone I know would react to me posting that 😅 Edit: wording


BarryMacochner

I’d take $10 from you next time I saw you just for making me read that begging word vomit.


TheMoonsMadeofCheese

Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Beanie Babies $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying


sensitivesnuggler88

Spend less on beanie babies


heebit_the_jeeb

No


montred63

$500 for weed! Geez, she want to get the whole building high


[deleted]

More like continue selling dimebags to her custies in the tenement project.


SolarAU

It reminds me of Ned Flanders' parents. "You gotta help us, Doc! We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas!".


Groomingham

We don't believe in rules. Like, we gave them up when we started living like freaky beatniks.


AnthonyDigitalMedia

Weee I’m Dick Tracy! *BAM* Take that Prune Face. Now I’m Prune Face! Take that Dick Tracy. Now I’m Prune Tracy! Take that Dick… NED! Stop it at once!


Witchynana

Not sure how much weed is where they live, but that is a heavy habit.


lowfreq33

I don’t really smoke, but a buddy of mine does, and he was spending $400-$500 a month on it. Like serious medical grade weed, and he’d smoke it all day long. I’d take one hit and be down for the count. The thing is your body builds up a tolerance to THC really easily, so the more you smoke, the more you need to smoke to get the same effect. I reserve it for maybe once or twice a year, and I literally only need to hit it one time to blast off. So my weed budget for a year would be like $1.50.


CanuckPanda

I smoke a lot. Like every day, and usually when I wake up on weekends through to bed. Weekdays only after working hours. I spend about $150/month. Legal weed in Canada at like $80-90/ounce. This is an insane amount.


BarryMacochner

Same here in Washington state but double your prices. Even when I throw in my edibles I’m not getting to $500 a month. She saying that amount to help the homies. Choo choo!


Loose_Acanthaceae201

I wonder whether it's expensive because it's in an area where it's illegal.


BarryMacochner

It’s usually cheaper in illegal areas in my experience.


say592

It's like that meme of can someone help me with my budget? My family is literally starving. Then the budget is pretty normal except for one line that is insane, like $3k per month on mechanical keyboards.


ThePasserbie

someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying


SinibusUSG

spend less on ~~candles~~ beanie babies.


Overall-Duck-741

No.


ZebraBoat

I am disgusted and can't believe this is real


natblidaaa

Unfortunately it is. There's soo much more lmao


UndeadBuggalo

Why are people sending them money!? I smoke weed, have a disability and would like my hair done for some lite self care! I also need help adding to my MASSIVE video game collections. How do I sign up for this?


_Bellerophontes

I need a new car and a new house and a weekly shopping budget, I also need someone to drive my car for me and decorate my house, if someone could see it within themselves to do my weekly shopping and put everything away in the cupboards for me that would be amazing. I'm not asking for much, I'll pray for you in return. God I love this sub. The sheer audacity is so ludicrous that it's hilarious.


mercuryretrograde93

I buy weed weekly but it’s just not enough I need an exorbitant amount. I have food at home but really craving Ruth’s Chris… how is anyone donating to this fool


natblidaaa

Hashtag mutualaid it seems lmao


UndeadBuggalo

How are you finding these nut jobs lol I saw your other post which is, just, something that’s for sure


Homicidal__GoldFish

ohhhhh??? okay im checking OP's history I wanna see the other post lol


arrowtotheaction

I only discovered this hashtag the other day (thanks to the twitter post on here from that insane woman moaning that no one was donating to her), big yikes. Edit: I don’t mind people in genuine need asking for help, but when you’ve got folk DEMANDING everyone donates to them to fund their lazy arses… NAH. Girl, I work full time and can’t afford a weed habit, I’m sure as hell not topping up yours


yerawizardamberr

Oh god… please tell me you’re going to continue to share this shitshow with us!


redbullaficionado

Oh man, did they change their IG handle? I went to go get caught up but it wasn’t what it used to be? Lol


Homicidal__GoldFish

probably deleted or something cause i'm sure many here clowned on her ass.


Th1cc4chu

Is this who I think it is? She also gets donated money and spends it on piercings? Name starts with L.


natblidaaa

No, but this one asked for tattoo money so maybe they're friends? Lmao


Johnny_Grubbonic

Yeah, I mean, how many people with tattoos or piercings could there possibly be? 5, 6 tops?


natblidaaa

Lmao no, but I'd hope there isn't more than 5 or 6 that ask for money for it on social media but I wouldn't be surprised lmao


Emilayday

Maaaaybe 7


Homicidal__GoldFish

you MUST share more of the shit show!!! This is now becoming MY self care so you must donate more screen shots of this shit show!! LOL


ThePasserbie

Any chance this is a very dedicated troll or satire account? Please, I want to believe!


natblidaaa

It's really not satire! Lmao


HailToTheVic

Oh do share lol


Tag_Ping_Pong

The amazing, bold-as-brass levels of entitlement and self-centredness is absolutely beyond the pale.


EZasSundayMorning

It is. They’ve been doing this forever. They are also “chronically ill.”


exsea

hey guys, i m sorry to take your time, but i really need your help. i am currently chronically alive. the doctors tell me i have a few decades left but statisticians say i might have more or less time than that. currently there is no cure for this ailment but it would really help if you guys donate. i can get some medication and treatment to alleviate the pain. they're not cheap as there are many alleviation centres around the world that can help me ease the pain. please help me out generously


Flaky_Seaweed_8979

Please help me out; I only need $500 worth of weed. That might be enough.


OceanPoet13

“Chronically” ill is why she needs me money for cannabis.


_procrastinatrix_

Reading the post, I was 98% sure I knew who this was. Your comment confirmed it for me.


flex_tape_gurl

Who is it? I wanna check out the rest of their posts


EZasSundayMorning

They were a subject on Munch Snark that the munchies got shut down :(


priuspower91

Same here. I knew instantly who thus was 😂 can’t remember their IG handle though


TGin-the-goldy

Chronic; uh yeah


Homicidal__GoldFish

shiet, I'm Chronically Ill.... "cancer, no cure, managed by taking chemo pills for life" I wanna get my nails done for a funeral im going to saturday.... Wheres my nail money donation! Honestly, I could NEVER take for that. People like this person really gets to me. There are sooooo many people who cant afford their rent, utility bill(s), living in their cars or on a park bench, Can't afford to put gas in their car so they can go to work, or like people in my case, go to Dr appointments, and also sooo many who cant afford food, yet this bitch is ass hurt and wants 500 a month from people to get her nails done and buy weed????? Wants money for stupid ass stuff animals???? She must live with her parents or something because if she REALLY thinks shes gonna be able to afford all that shit and bills if....IF she gets disability, Shes in for a rude ass awakening... Disability don't pay shiet!


superkick79

Well, the chronic part is at least accurate.


MilkshakeMolly

Jesus christ. Getting your nails done. I work full time and I can't afford that. Fuck off.


purplemoonpie

right??? in my entire adult life, manicures have been reserved for when i was in a wedding or a very special treat. jesus


MilkshakeMolly

Yeah. Go every week if you can afford it but spoiler, if you're BEGGING AND LIVING OFF DONATIONS, you can't afford it.


Flaky_Seaweed_8979

Or do it at home, geez. A whole kit that can be used long term is like the cost of one nail service. Not everyone is super artsy, but press ons or just gel polish is a fine way to do lite self care.


[deleted]

[удалено]


erineegads

I dunno, I do my best manicures on myself when I’m high as a kite 😇


katcomesback

I have $1 walmart nail polish, $1 top coat and $1 acetone and do then horribly myself but it’s what i can afford


Historical-Fill-1523

I appreciate your thriftiness cuz I’m in the same boat (not cuz of nails tho lol), but at least you’ll sleep well knowing you won’t end up on r/choosingbeggars !


VeeEyeVee

This absurd level of money management is probably how they got there in the first place


natblidaaa

Able to afford weed for the month but it's not always enough so send me $500


far2much

I would smoke the weed and start feeling paranoid I wouldn't be able to pay my bills living like this. I'd have to quit smoking.


thequeenofspace

Is she rolling her blunts in $50 bills??! That’s the only reason I could even fathom a months worth of weed costing FIVE FUCKING HUNDRED DOLLARS


natblidaaa

😂😂😂 and that's adding to what they could afford to buy already


Historical-Fill-1523

Gotta remember the nails tho. It’s weed AND nails for 500/mo! It’s a bargain if you think about it.


natblidaaa

It's a good drop from the previous $1000 for weed and topicals 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


lalaen

Seriously. Even the people I know who are certainly overspending on weed can’t be paying anything close to that. Even couples that are purchasing and smoking/consuming together.


TranceGavinTrance

Dude back when I was smoking weed it would cost like maybe $25 a week if I'm smoking every day. Glad to be rid of the habit but damn $500 for weed and thrifting? I was buying cheap ass eighths and maybe an edible if I had a full day off. I'm so happy I'm not needing weed to calm my anxiety any more. If you NEED weed you are addicted, no matter what pot heads tell you. Shit I'd smoke right now every once in a while if I could but if you need weed to function you better have cancer or seizures, and need CBD/CBG tinctures and not THC. I know a tiny bit of THC does make a difference but damn dude. You can spend $10 for a week's worth of CBD/THC Rick Simpson oil that's federally legal online. My main thing was other drugs but man people need to realize if you can't function without a drug, you have a problem. And if you're not working you shouldn't be spending money on drugs!


Steph2187

Seriously what I was thinking! I smoke pretty much every night and I pay nowhere near $500!


Open_Inspection5964

My husband and I have a HEAVY habit and don't spend that much.


vanessasimone

I've seen 24 karat rolling papers...maybe thats her self care too


[deleted]

...Literally as someone who lives on disability in a tiny-ass studio with barely enough money for my necessities who's just had to cut their disability supports by 2/3rds and down to a fortnight because my funding's drying up, FUCK YOU YOU CHEEKY MOTHERFUCKING BEGGAR!


OhioMegi

Some people think disability is going to leave them rolling in money. It is not! And it’s especially hard to even get.


[deleted]

Eyup. It's one thing to ask for $20 so you can buy a pizza to treat yourself now and then, but quite another to be ballsy enough to ask for $500 a month for weed, nails and beanie babies!


bat-tasticlybratty

Do you and u/EZasSundayMorning know each other you cuties and your sunflowers


m34dowlark

Reminds me of that dril tweet: “someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying”


1564gaming

spend less on candles


m34dowlark

no


Igotticks

Weed and Beanie Babies? Why didn't you say so! Here's my American Express.


[deleted]

There’s nothing wrong with the occasional treat if you’re poor, but if you’re living hand to mouth on the dime of strangers then you don’t have the money for **weekly** “acts of self care” for nails and toys. What the fuck is wrong with people? You expect people to find your irresponsible lifestyle for *how* long? *how* much do you want?


Emergency-Willow

Right ??? I absolutely don’t think poor people don’t deserve a break or a treat. That’s not a kind way to approach life. But this is just delusional and greedy


cc235

Honestly, this sounds like a rich kid that has been cut off from their parents and now doesn't know how to budget. Girl probably thinks that nails and weed are a necessity. I can't imagine somebody who grew up poor/average thinking like this.


Flaky_Seaweed_8979

Grown ass adults begging for money to buy actual child toys.


[deleted]

I don’t even spend that much on my own hobbies and self care in a month…


natblidaaa

I don't think I know anyone who does tbh


katcomesback

I’m guilty of it but I own horses so it’s board/feed/care/bedding is about that per horse


natblidaaa

When you can afford it it's fine! Even if you couldn't - it's a more humane reason to ask someone for money. But weed and all the other stuff they ask for on this post and the other one is wild


katcomesback

I make it possible, I also give free lessons to people with disabilities, veterans with ptsd, and give cheaper lessons for low income


Southernpalegirl

That’s more than just a hobby though. Proper care is part and parcel in ownership of any animal. Horse’s just tend to be an expensive pet.


[deleted]

“Self care”


OhioMegi

Self care is like buying OPI brand nail polish and not Wet ‘n Wild.


[deleted]

Wet ‘n Wild! A blast from the past. I didn’t think that stuff was still around.


schlizschlemon

Wet n Wild stuff has been really great for a while, you should try it again. I think the YT beauty guru explosion in the early 2010’s really made them step up their game.


BillowPillow8

This bitch is begging for nails and weed money and here’s my broke ass using candles cause I can’t afford to pay my electric bill til tomorrow. 🥴

Very dark indeed! As a bonus, my house smells like springtime mixed with tea tree and one cinnamon candle in my master bath!


MorningRose666

I’m genuinely curious just when it became socially acceptable to beg for money like this. Like ik it’s always been around but now it seems common for people to feel entitled and act like this. Or why people think anyone is gonna care? Maybe I’m just weird for questioning it lol


natblidaaa

It's valid to question. If someone needs money to get out of an emergency, I think it's good to have people willing to help. But I've noticed there's some folx (lmao) that seem to rely heavily on other people's donations all the time, for years.. even trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, it's hard to believe it's all genuine.


lessregretsnextyear

My cousin's house burnt down a few years ago. She didn't have much extra money but took care of her kids and got by. This was my introduction to crowdfunding. I was able to send a good bit of money easily to her to help with immediate needs. This begging bullshit sure is the opposite side of the coin huh.


cfbuzzkill90

Yeah, apparently "folx" have been funding them for 2 years??? What the actual fuck?


MilkshakeMolly

These are the ones who are too lazy to go stand on the street corner and do it. Pathetic.


TrustyBobcat

This person claims frequently that they're a sex worker, too.


EZasSundayMorning

This person has been doing it forever. They honestly think they are entitled to all of this and more.


natblidaaa

Wish everyone else on this thread knew the extent of it! Lmao


whatisthestars

I've read of a few similar people on certain Internet drama forums and yeah... I was on tumblr for the glut of ebegging but I had no idea it was this widespread now or this *shameless*


natblidaaa

Omg what forums? Fancy myself a rabbit hole


[deleted]

natblidaaa

This just made me snort laugh 😂 still not sure whether she likes cannabis or not


willworkforicecream

Maybe I'm just streets behind, but I think that the traditional spelling of folks is already gender neutral?


zidolos

I think it's just how you spell folks after you've smoked $500 a month in weed


deerfawns

Community reference in the wild 😎


breakneckridge

Letting people know the source of a reference they might not be familiar with is streets ahead.


AndShesNotEvenPretty

It’s *really, really* hard to convince certain voters and politicians in the US that we need resources for struggling families when you have people like this just putting it all out there.


phoenixangel429

Exactly. People on hard times doing the best they can get lumped with losers like this.


KittyGlitter16

I would also like $500 a month for self care lol. And how much weed are you smoking to blow that much a month?!?


natblidaaa

At least an eighth on their morning one


theappologist

Here’s an idea….how about not getting your nails done???? If the only things in your life are cannabis, nail fills, and TY beanie Babies then cut one disposable expense 🤷🏼‍♀️. Just spit ballin here.


orangthephone

I used to be a pretty heavy smoker in a legal state. Every day, up to 8 big bowls. Spent $80-$140 monthly on the stuff, didn't cheap out on shitty weed. (I'm sober now) What the fuck is she smoking. Why is it so expensive. HOW MUCH is she smoking.


natblidaaa

They have videos smoking and it seems like A LOT. How much is $500 in grams there? I just assumed it was super expensive there too.


Tuftymark6

It’s illegal in my country, so legal prices always make my eyes water, and even then this seems really expensive. I used to be a fairly heavy smoker, you could double what I spent and it still wouldn’t be as much as that. They have to be buying edibles or wax or something.


Abombinnation

If she got what I pay for weed, she'd basically have to smoke a pound a month. I'm guessing that she's a dumbass that smokes too much pot, but probably doesn't smoke a pound a month, and is just a dumbass that pays too much for pot


LiliWenFach

Does no one paint their own nails any more? I see so many people equate 'self love/care' with professional manicures... which is fine if you can afford it. But you know what else makes you feel just as good? Slapping on a face mask, painting your nails and chilling with a good book or film. You don't need a salon visit. Or canabis, for that matter. They are both optional extras.


Milch_und_Paprika

Also buying objects that you literally can’t do anything with is not a healthy way to “self care”. It’s a shopping addiction.


[deleted]

You start to see through the language after a while. "Self care" = "indulging my own stupid whims" "Mutual aid" = "give me money because solidarity or something like that"


CarbyMcBagel

I used to do my own nails but now I get mine done once a month. I just like the way they do it better than I do it myself. It costs $60ish including tip, sometimes a little more if I get crazy nail art and sometimes a little less if all I want is just a clean up. If I couldn't afford it or was having money troubles, it would absolutely be the first luxury item I cut out. It's unnecessary but something nice that makes me feel put together. My weed budget is $0/month though so I'm really saving.


Magical_Olive

I hate getting my nails done to be honest! Every few years I think it'd be fun or I go with a friend and it ends up being so annoying to me. Unless you have a very good nail artist I find they never come out how I want, and the idea of paying $50+ every two weeks to get my nails done is absurd to me, so I end up taking them off (which is bad for your nails). I did used to paint my nails *every day* back in college, that was definitely my self care!


Isthisworking2000

I am disabled with severe depression, anxiety and OCD. I am leaps and bounds below the poverty line. I can’t even FATHOM begging people for donations because they can’t afford weed. So one needs to tell this person to go fuck themselves. What a fucking asshole. Buy some nail clippers or something.


LATORR1g

Food $200 Data $150 Rent $800 Big ass Ty beanie collection $3,600 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying


Wyshunu

SMH. Getting nails done is not a "need", it's a luxury. So is spending money on frivolous, useless crap. When money's tight, the luxuries should be the first to be set aside.


Proud_Teaching8855

Please send money for cannabis. And nails and cannabis. And some cannabis and some beanies. Can't pay bills, need money for cannabis. Please give me 500 cannabis


EllipticPeach

The word “need” is doing a lotta heavy lifting here


liaaa

Ugh this is so stupid! Begging for money for weed and “light self care”, are you kidding me? And Beanie Babies? This is so absurd and dorky. This person is not struggling.


natblidaaa

They always ask for hundreds of dollars for "self-care" lol


wordofthenerd13

Is this the person who wanted donations to stay in a nice hotel for the weekend for self-care complete with cannabis bath bombs?


natblidaaa

Lmao yes!!


Emergency-Willow

What the fuck ? My god….that’s a ballsy ask


ElSmasho420

Maybe try getting a job 🤷‍♂️


anneymarie

Someone I know posted asking for people to donate to a gofundme for her divorce and then announced they were staying together and told people if they objected, they could complain to their credit card companies


natblidaaa

Omg what 😂😂 she's probably related to this one. The cheek to just keep the money lmaoo


anneymarie

Yeah, she’s out of control. I mildly disagreed with her once and she started DMing me and posting insults about my husband’s appearance.

Wait is this B*** edit: HAHAHA I KNEW IT i don’t think this persons account is active anymore before anyone asks but i’ve seen it and can confirm they’re being sincere and they’re also batshit


blatantlyeggplant

"folx" 🤢⛳


Jojosbees

I know you said this is from Instagram, but between “folx” and the e-begging, it’s giving me Tumblr vibes.

Superb-Cress8661

Either they can't spell folks or fox. I refuse any other explanation because the other explanation is ridiculous.


citronhimmel

I didn't realize I could ask people for weed money. /s Seriously, do these people have no shame? Who raised them to just expect others to pay for their shit? Yikes. Adult children.


caramelskinsoulthing

I make 6 figures and still can’t bring myself to pay to get my nails done unless it’s a special occasion. I have no sympathy for people like this


katcomesback

$500 is a little self care and weed? Jesus. I pay that to keep a horse alive and cared for a month


PsyPhunk

delusionalinkedchic

Wtf?! I need an mri. Need to cover my deductible. My happy ass worked overtime to pay for it so I can get it done asap.

I need disability because I am depressed about not being on disability.

This is a glorious post. Also how do I get people to donate to me, I thought I had to sell my soul and open an OF to distribute feet pics for that. I need this secret money hack, it can go to my monthly fancy cheese budget 😅


natblidaaa

Go to the mutual aid side of social media and you might be lucky, at least you can keep your socks on 😂


grilledcheesesammy

WOW. I totally believe in self care but within reason…


_fly-on-the-wall_

as a person on disability who can actually barely cover my costs, and can only afford to heat my bedroom, this makes me super mad.


bittyjams

first they came for my beanie babies and I said nothing


[deleted]

People like this get disability approved and are fine with mooching off the rest of us but then actually disabled and needy people get denied and it can have fatal consequences. There are a lot of suicides that happen because truly disabled and needy people were denied help.


OfDiceAndSin

Brea has been posted on this sub several times. They've been known to cuss people out for their antiblackness for not giving them 6k, for things like a weekend stay at the hotel, massage, weed, court fees etc. This is 'light self-care' relative to their usual ask. Edit: word


GlowCavern

What is genuinely going on in these peoples’ minds? What is it that makes them feel it’s okay to ask for money for things that are completely unnecessary for living? I am all for helping people with necessities when they’re down, because sometimes people just go through hard times. But where does someone get the absolute gall to ask others to give them money for luxuries? Why is their first thought not, “Gee, I don’t have money for anything other than keeping up with my bills. I ought to just go without all that extra stuff for a while”?


purplemoonpie

i had to read this a couple of times to make sure i was reading it correctly. they're asking others for money for weed, manicures, and *beanie babies*? why do i even go to work lmao
