@comeupstayup: When did he become normal to always be on your last 50$? Back in high school we were taught to build up a six month savings, learn about stocks and bonds, but none of that has been realistically achievable in any of my adult life. I know it’s not just me because I see videos of people in my peer group talking about it all the time with various different types of jobs and walks of life. - #stayup #adultlife #keepgoing #nevergiveup #viral
One time my dad tried to lecture me about saving money. He’s like with every paycheck, pay yourself first (ie put like 15-20% in savings). And I’m like, what do you not understand about I don’t even have enough to cover basic monthly expenses 😂

Financial stress is the absolute worst. It’s hope you get to the point where you are stable and not struggle. Unfortunately it’s so hard in this day in age to not live paycheck to paycheck

“Normal” and “right” are not the same thing. This is definitely not right. But it is becoming the norm. And it is exhausting.
