HIII EVERYONE! Kao Emoji-43(Sad waving) [V3] (Sorry long post)


THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT! 
THANKS TO YOU GUYS I GOT 20 NEW PATREONS ALREADY!
AND THE AMAZING AMOUNT OF OVER 200 JOURNALS OF PEOPLE TRYING TO SPREAD THE WORDS!
I can´t thank you enough! It means a lot for me!

120$ left and we will have reached the goal!
The amount of support I got was overwhelming. I totally did not expect it and I´m quite shocked how kind and generous you all are. Makes me believe humans might not be so bad after all Bunny Emoji-07 (Emoji Cry) [V1] ~♥

HOWEVER Many of you sent me one time donations and as much as I appreciate your kindness, it was not what I needed and I´m truly sorry if I confused anyone!

What I need/ed is not money in a one time donation form.
But something more stable.

If I show my parents a one time donation they say "Nice, but what about next month? You can´t live of this"

And even if it sounds harsh it is true. 
What I need/ed is a proof for my parents that people are willing to support me on longer terms and not just one time.

SO AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE IT, I WOULD FEEL VERY BAD TO KEEP ANY ONE TIME DONATION. BLESS ALL YOUR SOULS. Bunny Emoji-09 (Cry) [V1] 

You can note me privately if you want the points back or I´ll use it for giving back to the community ♥


Also, even with all the support, haters are expected to come.
I got hate mail on my Tumblr, calling me greedy, whiny and many other mean things. Also I realized that people don´t really know how Patreon works, or how Sweden works. So I will explain it for you!

First off. Sweden. Llama Emoji-08 (Crying) [V1] 

♦We are one of the countries with the highest taxes in the world. As high as 40%-50% of your salary. 

♦The minimum wage in Sweden is 21$/H for a reason.

If I would make for example, 4000$/month. 2000$ would go to taxes.
The remaining 2000$ shall go to my own bill (533$-800$) PLUS electricity, warm water, Internet, Telephone, Insurance, Healthcare (Which is up to 266$/year. When it exceeds that number it becomes free until the year is over) Food etc, 

Keep in mind the average bill to live in an apartment each month is around 533$ (super cheap, you are so lucky.)- 800$ (Normal)

Meaning that MAYBE you have around 100$-200$ left to spend on "enjoyment" such as clothing, or saving up for emergencies. 

And image how much clothing costs here.

So for maybe another person, 4000$/month would sound like a dream.
For me, I would live like the poorest of the poor.

Second of all. Patreon. Llama Emoji-14 (Say Cheese) [V1] 

Also people "calculated" how much I make of my Patreon which is also false so I´ll enlighten you again!


I already explained that 4000$/month would be nothing for me.
And people think that if my Patreon says "400$/week" I get 1600$ straight cash in my hand each month.
Is this true?

NO.


PATREONS CAN PUT MONTHLY LIMITS SO IT SUITS THEIR BUDGET!

Great for them! Not for me! 
But it also gives a false impression that I get more money than I actually do.

Example. PERSON X decides to give me 10$/week. But they put their monthly limit as 10$/month. Meaning that I´ll only get 10$ for that month. not 40$ as many people think.

Therefore, for each week I get LESS and LESS! 

See "I so Fabulous" I was suppoused to get 410$. But only 289$ got through. 
And this was WEEK 1. Where I get the MOST.

Week 2 "Pure Grace" I got 58$ even though I should get 410$.
As I already passed many of Patreon´s MONTHLY LIMIT.

So I get way less money than you guys think.
Now thanks to my new patreons it has increased up again! YAY

But it will go down shortly after I make a post on how to put monthly limit.
Which I WANT to do because I don´t want to get more than they feel they are able to give to me ;;;

This is how it looks RIGHT now.
So next week I will get 147$. Not 390$.

AND THIS IS WHAT MY MAINPAGE SAYS V

ALSO ON TOP OF IT ALL, PATREON TAKE AROUND 8-10% IN FEE.

PAYPAL TAKE AROUND THE SAME. So I lose about 20% of the final outcome in the end as well.

I hope this clears things up and breaks the illusion of me sitting on tons of money that I can do whatever I want with.
Because right now, I can barley get through my own bills. 
And I don´t even have my own apartment yet.


*Also I have been saving up for a driving License that is 2666$, YAY* ;;;


SORRY FOR MASTERPOST BUT I HOPE THIS CLEARS IT ALL UP!
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT AND CHEERS! ♥ HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND NOW. IF ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO ASK.

SENDING ME HATEMAIL SERVES NO PURPOUSE. I DONT BITE SO UST ASK KINDLY INSTEAD.
THANK YOU ♥
