@UziCryptoo Sears was a power then before it was replaced by Walmart, Target, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc. The market competition drove down Sear’s success as cheaper alternatives came. This reduced their profitability and resulted in their closing

When I worked at Sears in the early 90's, the people there built entire lives off those jobs. The guy running appliances had three kids, coached little league every weekend, and retired after 32 years with a pension. One of the women in customer service bought her first house working full-time there, and the older guy in hardware took the same vacation to the Ozarks every summer because he could actually afford to unplug for a week. The managers knew everybody by name, the Christmas bonuses actually meant something, and the store was packed every holiday season because business was booming. Nobody thought they were "stuck" working retail - it was honest work that paid enough to live with dignity. Somewhere along the way, corporations started making record profits while the people keeping the place running could barely afford rent. When exactly did a steady full-time job stop being enough to build a normal life?

@funnygamedev We are the richest because we have the most economic freedom to achieve success if you’re good enough to make it. Why are you too good for a PBnJ sandwich? They’re delicious. Make a ham sandwich or turkey or cheese. The PREMISE is more important than the wording.

@MaryTracy They also had less to spend on. They didn’t have $20/month Netflix subscriptions, $150+/month cell phone bills, $4-6 coffees, and any other luxuries we have today to chip away at their monthly paychecks. Their dollar was worth more and they had fewer expenses.

They did NOT live cheap. They had restaurants, with tablecloth and cloth napkins. Do NOT buy the revisionism that tells you the Boomers had a better life because they spent less money: THEY SIMPLY HAD MORE MONEY
Jim Sharp@prowrstlngstrng

I am not defending boomers, but they did generally live pretty cheap in their 20s Going out for coffee was insane. You threw Yuban into tiur Mr Coffe and put it in a thermos Eating out meant a trip to Pizza Hut maybe once a month Vacation was driving to a campsite

@CatholicCharm Save? No. Invest it into a dividend paying ETF or a crypto stable coin that pays yield or literally any other investment that grows over time. Savings accounts are scams.

@Uncatfishable The same thing every day? No. But creative budget friendly lunches can save thousands over time and if invested can generate a sizable sum as you work your way up.

Do people realize that peanut butter and jelly and chips is what they give kids at school who can’t afford school lunch? That’s what they give prisoners in holding cells if you get to jail after food time. And you want working adults to eat that everyday willingly.
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.

@ianmSC You don’t just hold that money in a savings account. That’s stupid. Too little interest and the bank loans your money out. Put it into a dividend paying ETF or crypto stable coin and earn yield. INVEST your money so it can grow for you instead of spending it all payday to payday

I like Kevin O’Leary, but assuming he’s right about coffee and sandwiches, which he isn’t, saving $5 on coffee and $14 per day on sandwiches over 260 work days is $4,940 Which means it’ll take a 30 year old 20 years to save up a 20% down payment on a median home in Nashville
dank@cptdankkk

Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees "Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents" "You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you" "Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money" "Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"

@beergnome1st @BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle Fair, let me correct my statement, why should we have it easier if they didn’t make it easier for us by leaving us more when they passed? Why do you deserve to not have to work or do anything to improve your own situation? Life is struggle. Always has been and always will be

@beergnome1st @BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle If you want to dumb down my entire point to the level of drooling retard then be my guest. There are so many things that a person can do to survive and move up that is within their control. Why are we any better than our parents or grandparents? Why should we live luxury early?

@coacha517 @BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle Bruh I grew up BROKE broke. Don't even begin to talk to me on that shit. But if your idea of a healthy functioning adult in Amercia in 2026 is collecting mayo packets to survive then you are on another planet.

@beergnome1st @BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle Everyone starts somewhere. What’s wrong with eating a sandwich for lunch for a little while to try and accumulate and move up? Are you too good for that? Why are you so special you should get special treatment or advantage over literally millions of others who are trying?

@HakeemDaXtreme @BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle A loaf of bread and a pack of meat makes anywhere from 10-12 sandwiches. That’s 10-12 lunches. Bread = $1.84 (cheapest Walmart brand), 9 oz sliced ham = $3.97…. Mayo packets from any fast food place = free. So $6.50 after taxes… that makes your lunch cost $0.65 for 10 days easy

@BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle You’re delusional. It does not cost $4 to cook at home anymore. Let’s talk sandwiches… decent lunch meat is at least like $8+ and that’s not including cheese, bread, condiments, chips, or anything else

@BrandonTalks @AaronCornielle Lunch was a lot less just a few years ago but your big response is to say eat at home? Except that groceries are costing almost triple so that doesn't work either genius. So it's expensive to eat out and still expensive to eat at home, then what the fuck are we supposed to do?

@AaronCornielle Prices are set before you go in. You know how much it will cost. You know how much money you have or will have. Common sense dictates you control what you can control. You spend less in order to save/invest more so you have more later on. Smart $ makes $ stupid $ loses/spends $
