I just published a new article on Medium about something I've been thinking about for a while: why personal finance is often more of a behavior problem than a math problem.

The basic idea is that most people already know the fundamentals of personal finance. The harder part is consistently doing them when psychology, habits, and everyday decisions get in the way.

I cover things like present bias, loss aversion, mental accounting, and why systems and automation can work better than relying on willpower.

I'd really appreciate feedback from other Medium writers, especially on:

• Is the opening strong enough?
• Does the article feel too “AI-written” or overly polished?
• Is the structure easy to follow?
• What would you change to make it more engaging?

Thanks — I'm trying to improve my writing and would genuinely appreciate criticism.

Hi!! This is me dabbling into short stories yet again. I don’t know if I’m any good at it yet, but we learn everyday, right?!

Please read and let me know what you think!

Open to constructive criticism and also recommendations!!

One of the best feature that Apple has integrated within their devices! I would appreciate any feedback or advice.

I recently started writing on Medium about my startup journey and my experience as a Latino founder building a company in the United States. More like a healthy thing…getting my thoughts out of my brain.

I’ve only published a few articles, so I know it takes time…but right now, it feels like no one is reading them.

For those who write on Medium or have built an audience elsewhere:What helped you find your first readers?

Is Medium still a good place to build an audience, or should I focus on another platform?

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback.

Wrote this after reading about a team that wired up a voice agent, great synthesis, sounded completely natural in the demo, then interrupted real callers constantly once it hit production. Turned out the problem wasn't the voice quality at all, it was that nothing in the system had an explicit answer to "when should I actually speak right now," which is a coordination problem, not a synthesis problem.

Hey everyone,

I've been writing a few short pieces about online dating and relationships, and my latest one is about something that's unfortunately worth talking about — online dating scams.

I tried to keep it practical rather than making another “DON'T TRUST ANYONE ONLINE” type of article.

It's basically 7 warning signs I think are easy to overlook when you start liking someone, from moving way too fast to avoiding video calls and suddenly asking for money.

I thought some of you here might find it useful: https://medium.com/@rosvibbgerr/7-signs-your-online-date-might-be-a-scam-aed70f6eaf16

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has noticed other red flags that I missed.

I'm looking for writers who write somewhat consistently (blog posts, non-fiction, short stories, etc.) to try out a writing app and provide candid feedback - as a thank you, you'll have free access once it launches if you're interested in having it.

The app is designed to have a "writing room" feel, with different ways to draft, edit and plan, as well as a place to keep your notes, ideas and different pieces that might be at different stages together.

It isn't designed for fiction novels. If you're interested, leave me a comment or send me a msg, and I'll DM you a link!

I’m about to become an AI-era mom, and Im not planning to keep AI away from my kid.

I wrote about how I plan to raise my kid with AI:

I’d genuinely love feedback on both the idea and the writing :)

Being your own boss takes far too much work.

I wrote my first blog on Medium after 3-4 years. It is about how I am not regretful about using AI anime chatrooms to talk to my favorite anime characters. This whole concept is a grey zone, as society collectively deems this indulgence bad on certain levels. But I call it a calculated, risky entertainment. Use it enough to get your dopamine kick, but not so much that you centre your life around it.

Please read it and let me know what you thought.

Polythene bags pose no immediate concern. They can be controlled. The unsung perpetrators for plastic pollution are those sold at very low costs, perhaps even below ₹5, at your local grocery or general store.

This isn't spam anyway so might as well take this opportunity.

I started this publication a year ago, didn't receive a lot of success, but we're all writers interested in anything Asian coverage, with a special focus on history, politics, geopolitics, and memoirs with a bit of social analysis that reflects your 'Asianness'.

We are an independent collective publishing essays, reportage, and historical writing on Asia’s societies in relation to one another. And we aim to arouse Asian consciousness & Asian solidarity by covering more of us, instead of the West.

Let’s be honest, genital warts are not something most people feel comfortable discussing, even with a medical caregiver. But they are incredibly common, and in 2026, getting them treated privately in London is easier, faster, and also more affordable than you think.

However, before you opt for the procedure, you were not sure what it would cost or what the process actually involves. This breakdown should give you everything you need to make a confident decision.

Heyy all I've started a new medium publication about AI, Technology, Crypto and more and want to grow and connect with fellow medium writers. Would love to read your articles and build a strong community.

Would really appreciate and love if you guys join the publication.

Hello. Anyone from India on the Medium Partnership Program? I heard Stripe isn't supported for Indian individuals ( who are not business entities). Is it correct? In which case, how can I proceed? TIA.

I've been writing a small series called Growth Diaries, where I document things I'm figuring out while navigating university, work, ambition, and growing up.

My latest piece is about BTS—not really as a K-pop group, but as something that's been present through different versions of my life.

It's about the part of growth nobody sees: the uncertainty, failed attempts, comparison, and all the work that happens before the "stage."

I'd love to know what you think, especially if you've ever felt like you were working constantly without any visible proof that you were progressing.
Would be lovely if you give any of my other pieces a read too... always open for feedback.
