Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV.

    Early 2000s. My dad is a farmer and it was a rough year for the harvest. It didn’t help that my parents were pretty poor for a long time, and didn’t seem to recover until after their divorce during the 2008-9 financial crises

        Eventually. My dad saw an improvement with corn and soybean yields for multiple years in a row in a very strong market, as well as getting his crane operator license so he could move grain bins and paying off several debts. My mom moved to the same town as her job, got some promotions, picked up a couple weekend gigs bartending at the local bar, and heavily subsidized groceries by going to meat raffles.

        It sure did for me. My ex was very bad with money.

          That I get, though if your ex also got more financially stable, I’m confused again.

          Although if both people are just wearing away at each other, that definitely has an effect on your productivity and self control around spending

            Oh no, my ex continued their ways. Basically frittered everything away. Although that got me off the mortgage after the first cash out refinance.
