Samantha Cooney writes on Mashable: “Writer Paulette Perhach had just broken up with her boyfriend, and she wasn’t exactly the picture of financial security. ‘I had a little over $100 to my name, I owed my mom $1200, I owed my boyfriend $2000,’ she tells Mashable. ‘It’s a terrible feeling to have to rely on someone else.’ But Perhach landed back on her feet, and turned her all-too-cautionary tale into an essay on Medium titled ‘A Story of a Fuck Off Fund,’ which advised people to have a secret stash of cash should your relationship go south, you get into an uncomfortable situation at work, or you just need to make a clean break. ‘If any man ever hit you, if anyone ever sexually harassed you, you’d tell him to fuck right off. You want to be, no, you will be the kind of woman who can tell anyone to fuck off if a fuck off is deserved, so naturally you start a Fuck Off Fund,’ she wrote.” (mashable.com)
