The First Message FPT Ever Received

So much financial advice is bullshit. I'm glad to see this point come around more and more often. So many money writers in the mainstream write for a young, middle-class, white-collar, demographic that just doesn't exist anymore. We are being bombarded with advice like "Here's the best way to invest that extra $10k you have laying around" and not enough "Here's how to tell that debt collector to shove it in a way that will make them dread the idea of calling you back".

That's the joke behind Financial Pro-Tip, rephrased and rewritten every day, I wrack my brain for hours to come up with another way to say the same thing again, and then, like Sisyphus being run over by his boulder, I do the same thing again tomorrow. I fucking love it. 

That said, some people miss the joke, like this individual, whose name I removed, but who is, and I swear this is true, the first person to ever message the Facebook page.

I never got an answerback. 

He's not alone though, a lot of people just search "Financial Tips" or "Financial Pro" and I pop up. I know that this page is supposed to *look* like a financial advice page, but, I paid money for a political science degree, so I'm not qualified to give any sort of advice, nonetheless financial advice. 

And yet, from time to time, I have people who come into the comments or messages asking me for real financial advice or pointing out that "Hey, you can't do that, it's a crime!" And I will continue to do my best to answer their questions, because hey, what the fuck else am I doing with my life these days?
