  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I've had to stop buying tofu, it's too expensive. I also used to buy myself a cake from the local fancy bakery once or twice a month but had to jib that

Bit of an odd one but barely nothing because; I barely bought things.

Had studies, no job and the money from internship were saved up to either help parents, medical stuff, pets or “just in case”.

Currently working and most money is also being saved up. Gave myself a budget to spent each month (which is quite a lot) but I barely spent anything, most I’d spent is €50. I can do this because still living with parents and they allow it (encourage it). So I can save up for an apartment.

Only big spending this month will be for a new monitor.
