To apolagize you should give her a goosing.

Was it a ring for you or her? I'm confused.

This is poor budgeting through and through.

I make over six figures and couldn't imagine getting fast food every single day, fuck that, that's so much money.

You're right, taking sandwiches I'd argue their entire week's lunch would be equal to two days now, possibly a single lunch right now. Fast food is expensive as fuck, it's become equal to going into a real restaurant and grabbing an entree.

You could get a pack of sliced meat, sliced cheese, loaf of bread, head of lettuce. Doesn't need to be bare, you could add a family size box of cheese it's or something which split up would last the entire week with the sandwich.

Pasta spreads the best on a budget, could do a week of pasta lunches for the price of one fast food meal.

You can easily eat lunch for a week on the price of two fast food meals, possibly a single fast food meal if you stretch. I've been on hard times and hitting up fast food for fucking soda isn't it.

This is entirely OP and wife's fault. I prey they don't have children yet and don't until they get their shit together.

Also OP you don't have three part time jobs. You have a single job which doesn't even have a real schedule; some website work is not a job, neither is your startup until it's making a profit.

I'm being an asshole but making all these excuses for yourself is helping absolutely nobody OP. Start by applying for real jobs, especially the ones you don't think you're qualified for, getting a real job with a real salary will change everything. Working on your spending habits is the other 50% of the battle. Times are tough, I know and it's shit, you're not even trying though you're just making excuses.

You better not have an Amazon account. Either of you. I don't.

Bow chicka wow wow

I was in a Dollar Tree in Longview, TX recently and they had name brand sodas that were 1.25 liter for $1.25.

I love fountain pop. It's just not the same as the store bought stuff. When McDonald's has their $1 drink day sale on (only in summer here) I'll go through the drive thru for just a large Diet Coke. But now that it's over I wouldn't pay the regular price, and definitely wouldn't do it at all if I had to borrow $20 to eat in the first place.

My guess, dropped the V card on it and thinks that’s important

Eating is absolutely an equal addiction to nicotine, weed, etc. This entire comment section really drives it home.

Oh. Ok then.

Grocery stores exist.

If you really need soda, which is horrible for you in several separate ways, get it from a grocery store in bulk for like $0.50/bottle; possibly less I don't know I've never bought it.

Y'all need to stop hitting up fast food joints at all.

I make comfortably over six figures just off salary and I balk at fast food prices, might as well go sit down at a restaurant and relax at these prices.

I'm sentimental to some things... But a mattress?? 🤔

On the other hand, putting something on the street and expecting it to still be there the next day??? 😄

Also asking for ways to get it back???? We are the internet, how TF would we know where is your mattress???? We don't even know where are you from! 😅😂🤣🤣🤣

Just someone passed by and needed it... Aaaand maybe left it two blocks from there cause it was too heavy...

That happened when I threw a heavy spring mattress one day, casually found it while returning home on my car, at 4 blocks from home or something. It was funny xD I knew it was mine cause it had a broken handle out of 4. I didn't have a ring on it. You're lucky to have that GF! Better get sentimental to her, IMHO 🥰😉

Another thing - when I acquired my disability, my ex emotionally disconnected from me and I had to break up because I felt so alone and neglected. You are NOT a loser, you are a great husband. Plenty (not all) of men leave or cheat or emotionally cut off when their partner faces health issues. You have stuck around and you're doing whatever you can to support her. I wish I had someone like you around when my sickness happened. Fortunately I've now found someone much more supportive and I'm in a loving relationship!

I’m gonna sleep on that one.

That’s what I used to do. I was really broke and soda is my one thing. I don’t drink coffee, don’t smoke, rarely drink. But I love a nice soda. I’d go to McDonald’s to get my $1 large soda. Using the McDonald’s app I could sometimes get a free food item with the purchase of $1. So I’d get my $1 soda and a free thing.

Nope, getting disability is actually very difficult. Chances are, if they can't afford food, they can't afford regular dr appointments which you need in order to get and keep disability.

I can get an X large fountain drink from Circle K for $1.17 tax included

Bro that’s like this one episode of SpongeBob

Three part time jobs? You cannot find a full time job? Everyone in my area is hiring. My daughter makes $16 at Walmart and gets over 40 hours as a part time employee.

My grocery store branded soda is still .99c per 2L

OP please take the time to review these subs. I know it feels like you’re drowning right now, but baby steps and learning new strategies for budgeting and eating can help you and your wife find your footing again. Wishing you well

Dollar Tree is $1.25 everywhere now, they've even put out press releases about how their price is going up. My local Dollar Tree also doesn't have 2L, only 16 oz and 24 oz bottles. My local Walmart, the cheapest soda is $1.25 for a 2L and goes up to $3-ish for name brand. Still a lot cheaper than fast food drinks, but not quite as cheap as they used to be.

It was a small and visible hole on the side apparently, made to look like it was stuck there. She thought I would see jt while I was cleaning it.
