My card got declined so gently, it felt like a breakup.

Treat yourself? I can't even afford to snack myself.

Refreshing my bank balance like it's going to change its mind.

My savings account and I are in a 'see you next month' situation.

Saving money, one skipped coffee and one emotional breakdown at a time.

Opened my wallet. A moth flew out and said 'not again'.

Counting coins like I'm on a heist with a very small payout.
