So, I definitely need to buy a new iPad. Mine works perfectly but there’s apparently no way to fix the issues with the pencil 🫠 Now I’ve to take 2000€ out of my savings and I honestly don’t know whether I’m more sad or absolutely furious.

I understand capitalism, just because I understand it doesn’t mean I’m not pissed off that something like this is allowed to happen while we’re constantly being told to recycle and reuse, only for the system to make it impossible because everything is designed to be last as little as possible.

And, above all, I’m just so tired of not being able to save any money because everything keeps getting more expensive, and every time I manage to save a bit something breaks, or a supplier screws up an order and refuses to replace it, or whatever. There’s just no way for me to save, at all.

And I’m a “successful” artist. I’ve worked for big companies, I’m a professor at an art school, I’ve an online shop that’s doing really well and I travel to cons all over Europe that bring in a lot of money. I live very frugally, and even so, I’m still living pretty much paycheck to paycheck :D
