@ecto_con @HakureiRyan I promise you, there is. Do you think that no other economy has had to deal with currency devaluation?

@HaalyMG @HakureiRyan Buddy, there's no adapting to the failing value of the dollar.

"Buying lunch out every day was never affordable"
Bitch just 15 years ago $5 worth of fast food could feed you for an entire workweek. That's less than 1 hour of minimum wage pay by the way! Boomers are desperate for us to forget that at one point fast food was price competitive with cooking at home. In fact this strat right here likely came in under the per-meal cost of anything you could make at home for the same amount of calories and fillingness. Remember, these used to be bigger, they have shrinkflated in addition to becoming more expensive.

@hachitori_kuri Jesus would not have had her executed for being a prostitute.

Mary Magdalene was a prostitute and she was an Apostle of Christ, what's your excuse?

@Beardballs @FortySacks It really depends on your specific circumstances, no?
From what I've seen, it seems like some better budgeting could be beneficial to a lot of people.
Though I'd say 10 or 20 years instead of 5.
English
@FortySacks i could fathom doing some shit like this if there was light at the end of the tunnel.
they thought there was. they still do.
fr if you ate shit for 5 years could you do something with it?
English
Boomers ate shit like this, canned tuna casseroles, TV dinners, never touching fruits, vegetables, rarely meat, no full fat milk for decades living like we were at war with the Germans to pinch pennies when they didn’t need to, and now that people do need to be frugal, they call you a retard for being willing to spend money on anything that isn’t prison food. No wonder these people are disabled diabetics with elevated heart disease and stroke risks. On top of lead and asbestos exposure, they were eating dogshit poison and proud of it.

@Basby22 @GeorgiasGiant Venezuelan here.
It's a very different set of circumstances. But the same principles apply.
Live within your means, cut out unnecessary expenses, save in a way that is resistant to inflation.
English
@GeorgiasGiant I wonder if you looked at countries after collapse there’d be people saying that? Like Rhodesia, Venezuela, Argentina, Germany post hyperinflation, etc.
English
So many people on here saying "Saving won't work! Cutting back won't work!" future tense.
Know what I've never seen? ONCE?
"I'm 45+ and I cut back, sacrificed, and saved in my 20s and I regret it. I'm not better off for it, and it's affected my life negatively."
English
@JerzSuccubus @VeryBadLlama This is why I don't go to McDonald's anymore and just make my burgers at home.
English
@VeryBadLlama I had a boomer in some comments telling me there are "cheap ways to make fast food at home".
I said Bestie, fast food is supposed to be cheap. A burger at McDonald's used to be $1. Now a single hashbrown is $2.50 +tax 😭

people from the wealthiest country on the planet are out here bragging that they subsist on diets that you would not be allowed to feed to inmates in a Scandinavian prison

@1ssve I'm not going to question it. I think it's a good thing.
English
@isaactdozier @gkra @LouisvilleGun I was taught very little cooking by my parents. I just grabbed a couple of cookbooks and followed recipes until I gained an intuition for the basics. Then I just built on top of that.
English
Yep, we did it by not holding each other accountable across the board.
Boomers never cared to teach. I burned so much food learning to cook as a teenager.
They need to start with the basics.
Eggs
Rice
Mashed potatoes
BLT
Etc...
But it needs to be hands on teaching. Cooking is an art.
English
This is the heart of the “I must eat $28 lunches, fuck brown bagging” tantrums
They don’t want a solution. They want to complain.
Wolvie@wolviebets
@RobProvince You won’t listen to us so why should we listen to your antiquated advice that literally no longer works. The math doesnt lie. Learn math or shut the fuck up
English
@funnygamedev Not everyone eats like a peasant. Just the peasants.
English
The middle class people I know were the ones wasting it on doordashing burgers and shit. I don't do that, I actually even suggested to my dad that we should not buy fast food. I'm asking why our country that is allegedly the richest is making everyone eat like peasents?
Brien Jackson@Brien_Jackson
You are being confronted with middle and upper middle class people telling you how they actually eat and you can't even process it because your brain is so full of TikTok bullshit. You have a legitimate problem and genuinely need professional help.
English
@HakureiRyan You either adapt to a market or fail. Others will pop up to fill the void.
English
@HaalyMG No, that just closes stores and prices remain the same in the other stores.
English
@HaalyMG @funnygamedev Unrape yourself old fuck
English
we are the richest country in the world why SHOULD I eat like a peasant?
Ben Klayer@the_satellite23
Loaf of bread = $5 Peanut butter = $4 Jelly = $4 18 pack of chips = $12 Bag of apples = $5 Total = $30 And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day. Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.
English
@FkdUpEvilWizard @funnygamedev Says the guy who thinks screwing old people is a good method to fix rising food costs.
English
@HaalyMG @funnygamedev You are so stupid it's not worth communicating with you.
English
@MarkAugustGuy @funnygamedev Aren't you just saying here that they got rich through investments?
You don't get rich through salaried work.
Investments are just another form of you working for yourself.
English
@HaalyMG @funnygamedev Why? Do you think all wage earners or employees are dumb? poor planners, or incapable of investing a meaningful percentage of their incone? Because that’s all it takes.
English
@HaalyMG @funnygamedev Your ability to read has been badly damaged by the amount of lead and tv you have ingested. Stay away from the internet or a jeet will take your savings.

@FkdUpEvilWizard @funnygamedev Why on earth would I want to help you when your stated goal is to fuck your elders?
English
@HaalyMG @funnygamedev Will this laissaz faire attitude will help?
English
@DanTheHobbit @terminallyOL Because it's a lot harder to improve your situation after you've died.
You've had some progress already. I believe in you, fine stranger!
English
@terminallyOL I changed these and kegs for $5/hr. My last job paid $21/hr in Los Angeles. I taught public school in two countries for 7 years. Why shouldn't I ALT+F4 myself?
English
your opinion on how much a working man spends on lunch means nothing to me if you can't tell me what this is
English
@terminallyOL I never worked fast food. But this seems like a syrup rack for a soda machine.
English
@funnygamedev Then provide a valuable service through your (I'm sure) extremely valuable skillset.

"hey my career path is destroyed the job market is shit I need steady employment"
"just start a business"
you need money to have that and I have none. you can't just build a company from nothing.
Chris Mathews@cdm813
@funnygamedev @MarkAugustGuy Sounds like you need to be a boss then. Start your own company like "the rich" have done. Take a chance. Have a thought.
English
@looksalotlikeme Yes. And it is much cheaper than buying the prepared meal at a restaurant.
English
Why do boomers keep saying to pack lunch at home. Do they realize you still need to buy food to stock your home to be able to do that
English
@FkdUpEvilWizard @funnygamedev Yet here you are, talking tough on X instead of actually doing whatever you think you can do.
English
@HaalyMG @funnygamedev I know you think that… That’s the only reason you guys feel comfortable boomerpoasting.
