@chief_malo: Can we stop this discourse that people nowadays are living above their means because that is not the case everything is more expensive and the amount of savings that we can get by taking away the luxuries of life is not enough to be worth it

Facts. I’m not gonna lie something the “if you stop buying coffee” content triggers me and I don’t vent drink coffee lol. Cuz it’s like bro you can’t budget your way out a of system that is literally trying to make it impossible for you to survive in financially

Paychecks after taxes is the issue too. No way checks should be stripped the way they are

People who don't get takeout lack the understanding of why people get takeout so often. We have no time/energy. If I'm not picking it up, I'm not eating. I wish it was different but it's not like that right now.

Like damn my bad I wanna buy comic book every week to try to escape this hell we live in but sure if I cut that out I’ll save you about $700 a year. Maybe I can buy a house in 80 years 😭😭😭

it's sad that we have to even give up buying stuff just to make us happy so we can pay for bills.

It literally costs more for me to get groceries than get take out. Wanted to make burgers instead of take out and the 1 pound of ground beef costs more than a Wendy's MEAL does.

The BASIC necessities are basically luxury prices now when it shouldn’t be.

$2000 isn't even enough to put as a down on a decent car (& I'm talking Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, etc...) 🥲🫠

Another thing is that cutting out small joys takes a toll on your mental health. Not talking about large purchases- just little things that help a person stay sane.

Saving $2k a year, for a home down payment. Most cities you’ll probably need $20-$25k for down payments. Life too expensive.

Yup. how do I budget my way out of my insurance premium going up 33%, my deductible going from $700 a year to $8500, and my property taxes nearly doubling in the past 5 years? These are not my fault!

We’re not living above our means. Living itself has become above our means.

I’m not gonna work like a dog and be miserable. I’m keeping my Apple Music, I’mma continue buying my baby his Funko pops and comic books, and I’m keeping Netflix and Hulu for my other baby. Those are little luxuries they keep us sane in the world trying to drive us insane.
