usually the last few days or the second week of a pay period during which most if not all the money from a previous paycheck has been spent, most of it on bills, debts, and food, leaving very little left for leisure. A prevalent feature of the lives of young adults
dammit, I have 10 bucks left which I need for gas, gonna be in a financial catapult the rest of this week!

A word coined by Quechua Artist Akapa Supay. This word was coined or created from a blog post he posted on his website which was titled "Financial Decolonization". In simpler terms, its true meaning is unlearning bad financial habits, while adopting financial literacy.
"Did you hear how Chester was saving up his money, used it to invest , while doubling his profit? That's some real Financial Decolonization right there"
"My rent is $1,500 for the month and I only had $2,000 to spend this month. I saw this new game system that was another $500, but when I calculated rent and purchasing the game system I didn't think it was a smart decision. I had to ask myself if It was a necessity, and because It wasn't I chose to save my extra $500. I wanted to execute my Financial Decolonization methods during the heat of the moment.

Yo dude, my check just came and gave me this massive financial erection.

When you're forced to spend money on something that shouldn't even be necessary to survive on this planet (college tuition, rent, bills, spending less on food to pay rent, etc) but the only alternative to it is being forced into poverty, homelessness, debt, legal issues, or a worse situation if you don't give in.
Similar to being forced to give money or other valuables to a mugger when being robbed on the street or otherwise you'd be shot or murdered.

Girl: Fuck college. Everyone hates me here and I have no friends. The coursework is a nightmare and I dread the thought of working as a Java Developer with a bunch of sweaty neckbeard virgins in a hot office building from the 1970s for the next 30 years. I'm not even on track to graduating on time because my advisor fucked up and made me pick the wrong classes by mistake...
Consciousness: What about the $20K you spent on your tuition this year? Do you want to just drop out college altogether and work at McDonald's for the rest of your life making $7.25 an hour? There's plenty of meth addicts underneath the Brooklyn Bridge that you could hang out with if you choose that option! You'll be sleeping out on the street and will never be able to afford an apartment if you don't finish uni! Gotta love being held under financial gunpoint in THIS economy don't ya?
Girl: Fuck capitalism!

A form of control where someone limits access to your money, drains your assets, or makes you financially dependent on them to exert power and trap you in a relationship.
If this feels familiar, it's okay to seek help or just talk to someone you trust. You deserve safety and happiness.

Financial abuse is a manipulative tactic that isolates the woman financially, making it harder for her to leave the relationship.
Abuser: "You don't need a separate bank account
—I'll take care of everything. Just transfer your paycheck to me, and I'll make sure the bills are paid. You're terrible with money anyway, so this is for the best."
