I'm probably seen as a huge jerk irl for not wanting to follow certain traditions. Like throwing birthday parties. Why should I throw money at people I don't like so they can eat and drink on my behalf if I don't even like being alife, let alone had a birthday. And why do I need to buy Christmas presents for people I only meet like once or twice a year?

Okay, that's it, you've posted some things around this site that I've nodded my head at quite a few times, but this? This I literally couldn't agree with more.
I'm made to feel like a jack*** whenever I have to tell someone not to buy me anything for some stupid holiday that I don't even celibrate.
Much less try to think of some rudimentary 'object' to 'prove' that I 'really know them' or whatever the hell when they do! Seriously, **** that.

Let me buy someone a gift on my own time, for someone that I actually like, for just being a decent person. Not for some dumb*** 'Tradition'.

I've been away from my family for like 7 years in a row so I've spent most of my Christmas's alone, so no money wasted on presents :coolcat:
I even forget my own birthday lol.

I've forgotten my birthday a couple times as well. Then my relatives show up and I'm just like 'What are you doing here ?" =o
And then it's like 'It's your birthday dummy!"

I totally didn't use his brothers and sisters and have him abducted. I mean... me. Have myself abducted. Yes. That's what I said. Totally.

I got a bonus this month. It's actually enough for an entire months worth of paying bills. So, I spent an entire week looking for stuff I could buy with it. I need a new computer at some point as my current one is slowly dying.
Then my mother let me know that taxes happened and she needs money. So, basically, I never got anything out of that bonus. And I'm feeling very empty inside. <_<

Did you at least set aside some of the money for the eventual computer replacement?

I would've bought the computer or set money aside for it first. Although I personally don't mind lending any excess money to relatives in need, I do need to actually consider it excess.
My own computer is getting pretty old too and will need replacement sooner or later. I wanna try to keep using it until it's reached being a decade old though, at the least.
The stuff I do on a daily basis it still handles fine so the main problem will be if my keyboard will last. Certain letters struggle to show up even after multiple button presses. And for example my Print Screen and 9/( buttons no longer work at all. I literally copy paste that bracket out of text file instead xD

Money isn't an issue for me. Even without that bonus I could easily affort a new PC. For years I've only spent the bare minimum of my wages to pay bills and get food. So, giving my mother money would have been possible even without that bonus, as well.

But I'm also bad at spending money. Like, I literally try to spend more but always fall back to my default minimum behavior. ^^"
That bonus kinda had a psychological effect where I felt like I could finally affort something without that nagging feeling in the back of my head...

My laptop actually is already over ten years old. The touchpad has been broken for years, the keyboard has a bunch of keys not working. I've actually been using an external keyboard+mouse for years now. The harddrive has slowed down significantly. This year it also randomly started failing at times: I've already had three instances where booting it up lead to "no operating system found" error messages. So, it is an indicator that I want to look for a new PC in the future. ^^"
 
Lol, I guess you should look at a new PC indeed.
If I knew where I would end up living and working, I'd get a home computer and eventually replace parts with the passing of time. But that will probably take another decade if I am lucky, so I have to stick with laptops for now.

You're making my almost decade old laptop sound young xD

A laptop that lasts 10 years :O
I had a gaming laptop for six years, it still works very well, but it's no longer enough to run modern games (I wanted to play Sekiro and Monster Hunter, and it couldn't...). I'm a bit sad I had to replace this long-lasting, loyal and reliable laptop for performance reasons and not because it was not working...
