TikToker Lays Out 5 'Tiny Habits' She Stopped Doing After Realizing She Keeps Spending All Her Money
She found five surprising trends that she decided to stop so that she could actually save money and feel more financially independent.
The first of these bad habits included ignoring her bank balance and taking no accountability for the state of her finances. A person cannot be honest about the money they have or make an adequate plan to save if they aren't tracking how they're interacting with their funds.
The second was having money come in and spending first and saving later. The TikToker now determines a certain amount of money to put in her savings first each month, so that her savings are already enriched. She then takes care of her bills, and then she can spend as much of the money that's left over as she wishes.
Her third habit was buying items simply because they were on sale or buying them in bulk, because they were marketed as "cheaper." Many have fallen victim to this and later realized it's a substantial point of spending.
The fourth was the thief of joy itself: comparing her lifestyle to other people's, which encouraged her to window shop, doomscroll, and make impulsive purchases to try to make herself feel better and to make her life look more like those she admired. After making this discovery, she stepped back from some of her regular stimuli to discourage that feeling of impulse buying.
Finally, like seeing for sale items, she stopped justifying buying something just because it was a low price. Something might be appealing to buy because it's only $10. But pretty soon you've spent $100 on 10 things you didn't need.

Financial management is one of those things that is going to be different for everyone, simply because we want to buy different things and will perceive what is "expensive" differently.
Probably the most helpful item here would be to supplement the savings account before other spending, simply to keep growing that foundation while the rest of the money continues to circulate.

Swedish Man Goes Viral With Hack For Optimizing Taco Fillings—And It's Honestly Genius
In the video, the brother-in-law can be heard calling his hack "something out of the Bible" and coining it "the Moses fold," since he parts his taco filling much like God parted the Red Sea, according to the Bible.
For his hack, the brother-in-law left his tortilla flat on his plate with the fillings he wanted already piled high on the tortilla.
While most would then try to roll their tortilla shut, the more ambitious amongst them trying to tuck in the ends, and hope for the best, the brother-in-law instead parted the pile of his chosen fillings into two smaller piles on each side of the tortilla.
This left a blank line down the middle of the tortilla, like the parted Red Sea. He then picked up the ends of the tortilla that completed that blank line and brought them together at the middle. This folded the tortilla closed into two separate sections of open-faced filling, allowing for far more contents and much less spilling.

The video swiftly went viral on X and Facebook as well, as people were a dizzying mix of impressed by the hack and perplexed by the fact that they'd never thought of this hack themselves.

Whether or not some people think this qualifies as a taco or a burrito, this is a great hack for increasing the filling, decreasing the amount of mess, and of course, improving the shell-to-filling ratio, which is always deliciously important!
Woman Sparks Debate After Sharing The Signs That You Have A 'Loser Boyfriend' In Viral Videos
The TikToker uses her own personal experiences, pointing out signs of loser boyfriends and sharing real-life experiences.
In her first video in the series, the TikToker argued that one sign of a loser boyfriend is how they interact with you while you're getting ready.
She gave the example of choosing an outfit, bag, and sunglasses, and wanting her man to engage with her about what matches best and what looks best on her that day. A loser boyfriend would respond to this, pointing out that, "No one's going to care about that."
While the TikToker understands that those decisions are not of any particular consequence, the whole point is the interaction, the fun, and the anticipation of the rest of the day. Shutting that down screams "loser" to her.
You can watch the first video in the series here:
In the second video, the TikToker indicated that a loser boyfriend would not match his girlfriend's "vibe."
She used the example of talking to an ex-boyfriend. She'd shown him an item she had purchased, which she knew would be of interest to him based on their past relationship. But then when she tried to show him more items, he shut the conversation down, pointing out that she didn't need to show him "everything" she purchased.
At that point, she decided he was right, and not wanting to share things with him was a clear sign that she shouldn't date him.

Fellow TikTokers were nodding hard, sharing other possible signs of loser boyfriends.

While this is specifically a "loser boyfriend" series, these points would apply to girlfriends, as well.
Not at the very least listening or asking questions when you know your partner enjoys something is a red flag, not to mention shutting down conversations you know excite them. Having all of the same interests isn't a requirement, but if you're not going to be engaged in conversations, what's the point of dating someone?
