'Cheeky' offers on Vinted
Just wondered what others opinions were on this.
I buy and sell loads on Vinted. I almost always put an offer in if I want to buy something because why not? If they decline and I still really want it I may still buy it, but if its been uploaded for a few weeks or longer, it's worth chancing a wee discount? In my opinion it literally does no harm and the person can simply decline it or even just ignore it altogether.
What I don't understand is when people message you back really angry that you made them an offer, even if its a small discount, saying something about how it's totally new or that it's in fab condition or they just uploaded and make it out like you've really insulted them.
If someone offers me a price on something I'm selling that is too low for me, I'll just decline and offer them what I'm willing to, or just decline and move on. I've never ever messaged anyone to tell them they're horrible or cheeky for daring to get a discount.
I get that everyone is on there to make a bit of money and some people genuinely need every penny, so its absolutely fine to decline offers! That's what the button is there for. I don't get the follow up messages 🥲
For context I haven't received any recently but I have in the past, however I only ever offer £1-3 lower depending on the price, especially if they only offer Royal Mail because that's always so expensive.
I can afford to stop working, but I can’t cope with feeling financially dependent 😭
Before I got pregnant, I was doing freelance social media management for a client alongside a full time job. I had to leave that job just before having my baby as we moved cities for my husband’s work.
I carried on with the freelance work within a month of my baby being born and I’m still doing it now, 6 months later. But honestly, it’s starting to take a toll on my mental health. The client is constantly demanding, and I’ve completely lost passion for social media work.
My husband has said I should just stop and that we can manage on his income, but I’m really struggling with that idea. I would only have my maternity pay, which is pretty low, and I can’t seem to shake how uncomfortable I feel about being financially dependent on him.
I feel stuck between protecting my mental health and letting go of financial independence, and I don’t know what the right decision is.
Has anyone else struggled with letting go of work after having a baby, especially when it means becoming financially dependent on a partner?
