Then why keep posting about them? Other people don't do that.

All we know is what you post, and your posts frequently mention how
expensive stuff is, that you shop with coupons a lot, that you earn
pennies by visiting websites or filling in surveys, that you can't
afford this or that, that you only eat in cheap places. That's been
going on since long before your husband retired and didn't get his
pension.
You creat an impression of someone constantly on a tight budget trying
to make ends meet.
