We all could use a bit more money.
The weight of needing just a little more.
No matter who you are, where you’re from, what you do, how you live your life, or what you prefer, the one thing that’s constant in all our lives is money.
This is one thing that shapes our choices, our struggles, and sometimes, our peace of mind.
While we cannot directly help each other by lending or borrowing, I hope this becomes a platform for you to share your money-related experiences and mistakes with the world. I believe even without directly knowing each other or meeting one another, this blog, its YouTube channel, and its social media pages will provide something for everyone.
Every single one of us faces different struggles in life, but if you look closely, so many of these struggles are tied to one thing—MONEY.
Throughout my life, money put me in situations I couldn’t even explain to the people around me. Situations that felt too personal, too complex, or too painful to share. I wanted to make my parents proud and help my sister. I wanted to show the people I love and myself—that I’m not a loser.
I feel like when you’re at your lowest, the world goes silent. There’s no one to hear you out. No one to guide you. No one to share your story with.
When I turned to the internet, I realized there wasn’t a space to share such stories. No community that could understand the weight of money struggles without judgment. No one genuinely guides you because they took a similar path.
I want this to be a place where you can share your story. A safe space to talk about your financial experiences—the good, the bad, the lessons learned, and the scars left behind.
I hope these stories touch your heart and lead you to make better financial decisions or, at the very least, find hope in knowing someone else has been there, too.
Because no matter what, your story matters. Right now, it might not matter to you, but the same story might change someone else’s life.
If so, I also make videos on things that are connected to money. You can watch our YouTube videos below…
At The Online Dollar, apart from listicles, I also write finance stories that happen around us. I recommend you to check the 'MONEY STORIES' category on the menu, and if you find them interesting and educational enough, consider joining my WhatsApp channel or turning on notifications!
