This whole house thing feels spur of moment because she seriously does not seem to understand that this isn't an instant thing. Wonder if she even knows how theres the inspections and the bartering and the contracts and the lawyer fees....

And five minutes later shes hocking new makeup products...makes you really believe shes so upset:

Besides not realizing how long it can take, she seems to have no real concept of the cost.

Who the hell gets as far as hiring an agent then goes, "oops, I don't have enough money"? Did she really not do any research beforehand? Get an idea of a price range? Use one of the trillion "how much house can I afford" calculators online? She probably didn't even consider closing costs, house inspection, possibly needing new appliances, or any extra cost besides the house itself. And she probably has extremely high expectations of what sort of house she should have. She says she loves to have a plan, but clearly did not have one when she came up with this goal.

As everyone has pointed out, she claims to have been saving "like crazy," but we see her spend money on things that people saving for a house don't buy. That $900 sweatshirt comes to mind.

I have no idea how much she makes back on the ridiculous amount she spends on her clothing hauls (and god knows she probably returns a lot of product), but as has been said many times: she could easily stand to spend much less. Especially at a time that many people can't afford and don't need new clothes.

She has traveled frequently, which is usually put on hold when saving money. And she did it in spite of travel restrictions, which should've stopped her anyway.

She redecorates her apartment with each season change.

We have been saying all year that she spends too much and doesn't seem to understand that a lot of people have struggled due to the pandemic. That she would probably get better engagement from content showing creative ways to save money. Then she hits us with, "I've been saving all year like crazy"? GTFO.
 
"I'm a little nervous. I'm about to talk about something that I haven't talked about that I've been keeping not really a secret, kind of a secret, my friends picked up on it and pointed it out to me, but I'm trying to buy a house

If she was keeping buying a house secret, it's because she knows it will only amplify how privileged she is, and make her a lot less relatable to the kinds of people who actually like her and take her seriously.

On top of that, I also think there's family money involved, because if she was honestly making the kind of income that would allow her to buy a house in Austin right now, she wouldn't be nervous about talking about it.

and there are a lot of reasons why and some of them have to do with my future and my ability to have kids which I'm not going to talk a ton about,

That's good, because her chances of having kids, or getting approved to adopt one, are zero.

but it's just something that is like a stepping stone on the path to some bigger goals I have and i got really frustrated in the market and Austin is intense and everything is very expensive. And even though I've literally been saving non-stop. It's not enough and it's been very frustrating.

A lot of Californians with the means to do so are fleeing to places like Austin, so yes, the market is very hot and very competitive. And the storm is probably not going to disrupt that very much, because it's seen as a freak thing. After the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989, rents in San Francisco dropped slightly (and home prices not at all), and within a year everything was back to normal. People who have the money to live in a desirable place are willing to pay for it, and they'll accept the risks because they can afford to mitigate them.

And as for her "saving non-stop": give us a fucking break, Anna. Even if a lot of your travel, shopping hauls, and other consumerist crap is subsidized at least in part through sponsorship deals, you fritter away so much money on absolutely needless garbage, it's staggering.

So yesterday I was like you know what? I'm just gonna admit defeat and just stay in my apartment for another year and I was like, that will be okay and if I can't afford Austin then I'll have to figure out somewhere else to live,

The rent she's paying on her current apartment can't be cheap. How about moving somewhere significantly less expensive, and saving the difference (on top of what she says she's already been saving)? Given the nature of her content, she could live literally anywhere. Being in Austin is nice, but there are a lot cheaper places to live in Texas. No, they don't have the cool factor of living in Austin, but there's no cool factor in being stuck as a perennial renter in an expensive, rapidly-gentrifying city, either.

but I'll give myself like a year to figure it out. Right and I felt very content and at peace with that decision and I'm going to cry because I'm mad but then I woke up to this taking you guys outside. This is my deck and this is just two trucks now, but construction has started right outside my apartment and it's freaking loud. Now, I feel everything in my apartment. And so that is like I don't think.....I started crying this morning because I was like, I just made this decision that I was so content with and well, it fell to crap. So I called my realtor this morning and I was like, I need to find a house as soon as possible because it's already incredibly annoying. I can hear the beeping constantly. It's driving me nuts, but I can't film

Yes, you can film. Get a decent lighting setup, and shoot at night. Construction usually only happens on weekdays, from 7AM to maybe 5PM. Plan shoots, get them set up, and be ready to start shooting as soon as construction stops for the evening; you could probably get a good 3 hours of video in the can each evening if you're organized enough. Shoot like mad on weekends. During the day, when it's noisy, put on headphones while you edit, upload, and prep for the next shoot--all activities you can do despite the noise. And establish a proper sleep schedule, getting to bed by midnight so you can sleep when it's quiet, rather than sitting up until dawn, drinking and impulse-buying shit online.

And maybe make plans to GTFO on days when the noise is really bad. It's springtime, perfect for day trips to go see and take video of something new.

Get creative--isn't that what you're supposed to be? Well, fucking show it.

and I was finally felt like in this thing that makes me so mad right now before the winter storm. I got on this great schedule was eating the way that makes me feel the best. I was exercising regularly. Really? I was doing things that make me feel good and then the storm happened and completely washed me out.

Oh, LOL--we're supposed to believe she totally had her shit together before the storm. Right, Anna.

And also messed with my mental health. And then and then I got it back together and I fought really hard and i'm making steps to get back where I was and I was seeing things kind of fall into place and then this happens and kind of blows it all up again.

"I don't just play a crazy person on social media; I am a crazy person! And why should I reassess my life trajectory, and seek help for my craziness, when I can just use it as an excuse for all my failures and lack of resilience, while getting sympathy from online strangers?"

"Cute incompetence" is a bad look for adult women who want to be taken seriously. Making it into a full-blown lifestyle choice is a fucking disaster.

And I know this is like not a real problem,

NO. NO IT'S NOT. She was inconvenienced during the storm. She didn't lose her home; nothing was damaged; she faced no real danger; and she got power back right away. She has no idea what real problems are.

but it is giving me so much stress and so much anxiety and so much frustration because it's like I can't seem to make a decision and it's like I can't seem to make a decision and I like I like plans. I like schedules. I like knowing where I'm going. Yes being creative in that context is also really important but I like a plan. This is giving me a lot of anxiety to not know I'm going to be doing the next month.

Then sit your fat ass down and come up with a workable plan and schedule for dealing with the construction noise, you vapid numpty, rather than losing your shit over it. I came up with a way of dealing with it, through the careful planning and scheduling you claim to like so much, and did so right off the top of my head. What the fuck is your problem?

So if you don't see me for the next couple of days, it's because I'm trying to figure out where I'm gonna live because the answer is probably not here. Buying a house is stressful. It's really stressful and it's probably the scariest and most adult thing I have ever done and I do not reccomend. Well, maybe I do maybe I'll feel better when I actually have a place right now. I just have a lot of stress and anxiety, which I don't reccomend to anyone. "

LOL--she doesn't know "stressful" if she thinks buying a house is the solution to it. A house is a fucking money pit. There is no calling the landlord when shit breaks or requires maintenance. There's a yard you have to keep up. And if it turns out you don't like your neighbors, or your HOA is a pain in the ass? You're kind of fucked.

Anna needs to remain a renter, or, at most, buy a condo, where the HOA takes care of the exterior and common spaces--because she is just too much of a fruitbat to cope with the demands of being a homeowner.

Has she ever talking about wanting kids?

Never, as far as I can recall. Only rarely do friends' kids (such as her goddaughter in New Mexico who we never knew she had) make an appearance on her SM. She does dumb, goofy craft projects, but never anything with kids, or that's kid-friendly. To look at her Insta over the last few years, you'd never get the impression dhe has any interest in kids at all, much less motherhood--because she doesn't.

Personally, I think she's just using the idea of kids to justify buying a house--a purchase she shouldn't have to see any need to justify, if she can afford it, but she's such a goddamned basket case who knows what the fuck she's thinking. I don't believe for a second that kids have anything to do with it, though.
 
Maybe I'm just a poorfag, but I cannot imagine buying a house because of the inconvenience of some construction going on outside. And that's genuinely all that is, an inconvenience. I've read about how deathfats have lower distress tolerance levels, and will go out of their way to avoid anything even remotely uncomfortable. I think that's part of what's in play here for Anna (outside of her just mindblowing privilege where she thinks she can just order a house out of thin air like she orders her damn hauls off Amazon).

The storm wasn't this great big event that shook her to the bone, it was uncomfortable. The construction isn't some discordant thing that's driving her insane, it's uncomfortable. With Anna sometimes it's hard to pin if her inability to handle life is due to her upbringing or her weight, but even her weight shows incredible privilege. (How many of us can afford to eat ourselves to 450+ pounds???) And she's so spoiled, so privileged as to think uncomfortable = genuine distress.

Sometimes I almost feel bad for Anna. Her ability to be a self-sustaining adult was lopped off the knees due to her privilege, and it would take some real grinding and definitely a lot of uncomfortable-feeling-experiences for her to be able to relate to regular people. But at the same time, I simply can't imagine a life so soft where some construction work is enough to make me cry, so my sympathies vanish.

The one who loves Anna is of course SERIOUSLY obsese for an 11 year old, yet her sister isnt.
I looked through that IG and the mom is a calf herself. She's homeschooling in a really casual way, which is fine, but both the 7 year old and 11 year old are doing exactly the same work. I guess the younger kid could be advanced or the older one behind, but I think it more likely that the mom finds it easier to dole out a single set of worksheets. Mom also has lipoedema.
 
If the construction is that bad that she has to move, why is she jumping straight to purchasing her own place in such a rush? Instead, move to a different rented place, continue to save, and continue to look at possible purchases at a pace that allows ample consideration of what is going to be your biggest individual purchase of your life. If she's flipping out this much about needing to get out NOW NOW NOW then she's going to end up overpaying for something just because it doesn't have the obvious problem of having a construction site outside.

From this shitshow I just know that Anna uses the neo-verb "adulting."
