I want to share this story i just read:
I’m 24, earning $52k a year, and I recently moved into the guest room of my 80-year-old grandfather, Arthur, because my $1,900 rent was bleeding me dry.
Last Saturday, I ordered a $32 sushi platter via a delivery app because I felt "too drained" to deal with the kitchen. Arthur watched the delivery driver pull away from the porch as if he’d witnessed a crime.
That evening, he sat down to a bowl of "Fridge Cleanup"—sautéd cabbage, some leftover ham, and a single potato. It looked depressing. It probably cost less than a dollar to make.
"Must be a luxury," he muttered. "Dining like a king every night."
I lost it. "The world is different now, Arthur! Your generation had it simple. You bought this entire property on a single income while supporting a family!"
He set his spoon down. I had never seen his expression turn so cold.
"Simple?" His voice was barely a whisper. "I pulled double shifts at the chemical plant for thirty years. When the crisis hit in the late 70s, interest rates were nearly 18%. I didn’t 'order in.' I ate peanut butter on crackers. For months on end."
He gestured toward my bedside table. "That watch on your wrist cost more than my first three months of wages. Your 'designer' sneakers cost more than my first kitchen renovation. My hobby?" He pointed to an old, oiled baseball glove on the shelf. "That was my hobby. It cost five dollars and lasted forty years."
"So, what? I’m supposed to live in a cave?" I snapped back.
"You’re not in a cave," he said. "You’re just undisciplined. You want the life of a homeowner but won't sacrifice the $8 lattes. You want financial peace but pay $30 for fish because you're too 'exhausted' to boil water."
He walked over to a locked wooden cabinet, pulled out a worn, leather-bound savings book, and tossed it onto my lap.
I opened it.
$315,000.
This man, who buys generic brand cereal and mends his own socks, had amassed over three hundred thousand dollars from a modest pension and disciplined living.
I looked at the balance. Then I looked at my phone, where a notification for a "monthly premium clothing box" had just popped up. I looked at the half-eaten sushi on my plate.
Arthur picked up his bowl of cabbage.
"You're right, Leo. I did buy this house on one salary." He stopped at the door. "But I didn't have five streaming platforms, a financed car I couldn't afford, or 'convenience' fees on every meal."
He looked me dead in the eye.
"You don't have a money-making problem. You have a lifestyle problem. You're not broke; you're just paying a high-interest subscription to pretend you're successful."
I canceled my premium memberships that night. I made my own lunch for work the next morning. It tasted like a reality check.
Sometimes the people we think are out of touch are the only ones who truly know the way.
Thanks, Grandpa. 💙 #fblifestyle

@Coach_MDuncan Some kids that went in didn't have much of a choice, they were all but forced to go in.

@jsualumnus @jasoncabinda They may lose an opportunity to further that education to a masters for free if they were on scholarship and they could have stayed where they were.

@jasoncabinda There are those that graduate, enter the portal, not chosen by another school, and then they are done and have their degree. These players lose nothing but another year or two to play.

The Eagles put way too much pressure on their defense. And when the offense can’t maintain drives or maintain possessions, it wears the entire unit completely down. 😮💨🏈 @RealDGunn
