@RogerDeReu @psuhammer @paulswaney3 The world revolves around all of us. Boomers seem to forget this and think only their opinion matters lol
English
I make that argument weekly at least.
The world doesn't revolve around the kids; them thinking it does leads to what we have.
I remember the "children should be seen and not heard" days and "speak when spoken to"
Kids were a helluva lot more respectful then too (there were consequences if they weren't)

In the Navy, I ate chicken thighs and rice (when I wasn't in the galley)
Now I too watch people making $70K spend $28 on lunch every day and call it a cost of living problem.
It's not. It's a discipline problem.

@psuhammer @paulswaney3 @RogerDeReu You mean the boomers being told they were special by the greatest generation believing they’re entitled to tell people of lesser means how to live? I agree
English
@MilaKinxx @paulswaney3 @RogerDeReu Basic standard of living? Fucking entitled generation who grew up with parents telling them they were special.

He's 100% correct - make your own lunch for $10
Save $18/5days a week/52 weeks a year = $4680
$4680 invested every year over 40 year working career
6.37% ROI (Average SP500 return minus inflation)
You'd have equivalent to 795k in todays dollars at retirement.

@pscottrnc @JoelWBerry You’d have to skip lunch entirely to have $780 a month
English
@JoelWBerry In 20 years at 7% annual interest you’ll have over $400k.
Is a $28 lunch worth it?
English
Saving $26 per day on lunch alone? That’s $780 per month. That absolutely could be the difference between affording a starter home or not.
LadyoftheLake@LadyoftheLakefr
a cheap aldi sandwich isnt gonna buy them a home
English
@JoelWBerry Also your math equates for just not eating at all, dingus. Food costs money still regardless of where it’s made
English
@dannycantalk No people are upset because this is an oversimplification of a real systemic problem with wages and costs. It’s not hard to see the issue
English
So Kevin O'Leary makes luddites upset with his kickass datacenter, and makes socialists upset by suggesting they pack a sandwich for lunch?
I am starting to see why they call him Mr. Wonderful.

@CasuallyGreg Dude just said ground beef is $7 a pound and this dingus replies “you know you can cook your own food right”… 🤣.
“I can’t build a boat because I don’t have a hammer”
This dude: “you know you can just use a hammer, right?”
English
You know you can cook your own food, right?
Nicholas J. Stelzner@stelzner_n1150
A Chipotle burrito costs $15. Ground beef is $7 a pound. Inflation is financially crippling Gen Z. Once again, an out-of-touch rich boomer is lecturing young people.
English
You are struggling financially because you spend too much money on food 🤡

@DylanALTKY Also, make a sandwich out of what? Cheap ultra processed unhealthy lunch meat that never existed in the 1980s instead of expensive organic foods so that I can trade a cheap meal for colon cancer in twenty years? Awesome trade off man. Your health for money. Good thinking 👍🏻
English
Literally every negative response I seeing to this is people pointing to restaurant prices and then getting mad. The point is that if you're barely earning more than the national average you shouldn't be eating at a restaurant every day. Make a sandwich and bring it in a bag.

He’s not wrong.
A $28 lunch *occasionally*, as a treat, isn’t a problem.
One every day is.
I saved so much money when I started packing a lunch 20 years ago

@DylanALTKY I don’t get tired of pointing this out;
How many sandwiches would it take to make up this difference
English
@robynngarfield It’s literally twice as hard to get into a home today than it was when you were got into yours
English
@robynngarfield When you and your husband were first married houses cost much less - relatively speaking
English
When my husband and I were first married we were dirt poor. For date night we used to go to Costco and split those old wonderful chicken Caesar salads that were $4.
I know things are more expensive now, but they're not that much more expensive. People just feel entitled to spend crazy amounts of money on unnecessary stuff.

@StephenKentX My favorite reply today to all these boomers reposting this same video; how many lunches would someone have to pack to make up this difference?
English
Sorry. He's right. No amount of whining will make him wrong. Pack a lunch. Eat a little bit lighter midday. Put that money to work in other places, you'll be amazed.

What if I told you he's right
Packing your lunch can save $5,200/yr
Let that compound for a few years and there's the house down payment everyone's complaining they can't afford

@RogerDeReu @paulswaney3 That’s what it says doesn’t it. Interesting that some blonde bimbo seems to know more about economics than some guy that buys higher risk PE businesses
