Probably has a bunch of tats as well. The locals losers in my town who are constantly begging for money usually have a few thousand dollars worth of ink.
We probably all know people like this. These are the people that make enough money to live comfortably, but insist they are poor when they have the newest phone every year, 5-6 streaming services, a new car, designer clothes, an overpriced apartment, eat out everyday, covered with tattoos, smoke weed and go out drinking all the time.
If you actually have some discipline and ethics, you can live a pretty damn good life in this country. That may not be the case once Joe gets gone with it, but as of now you can make something for yourself.
Don't forget needless debt! Those types always have tons of debt, gotta finance those new cars and other stuff they don't need, then complain about all those evil lenders! They always bitch about debt, while making zero effort to pay it down, while pissing away money on useless crap or unessacery outings.
This drives me fucking nuts. I make good money, but I live like I'm poor, only splurging once in a while and ONLY when I can afford to pay cash. Result is that when something I really want comes along, I can afford to buy it without having to comtemplate "the Ramen diet" for a month to do so.
This isn't fucking rocket science, its called budgeting and living within your means. Do they not teach personal finance in schools anymore? When I was in the USMC it was literally one of the first MCU modules you were required to complete.
Shit no they donât teach anything worthwhile in most schools. I graduated in 2002 and the only thing I leaned finance wise was how to balance a check book in home ec during middle school.
Luckily I had parents who taught me some real things about money management. I still fucked up here and there, but I am in good shape these days.
But yeah, like you I hold out for most things. If I buy something I spend money on the best version as possible and those are the ones that will last.
I will spend 5x more on something well made as opposed to buying a cheap Chinese price of shit 5x over. But hey, itâs just common sense to me. Others not so much. Our reliance on cheap Chinese shit is killing us.
And they always have a dog and are smoking weed. Like, dude... I don't even have a pet because I know it's expensive to take care of another life. And weed ain't cheap either.
These low rates have a hidden cost, that is causing people to not save and plan for the future. In the 1930's during the great dustbowl, people were able to survive for years under incredibly harsh conditions without moving, this idiot is ruined if she breaks a bone.
this idiot is apparently 1 flat tire away from spiraling into homelessness. Perhaps she should have not purchased all those really pricey weed bags with colorful names like "the reaper" stuck on them.
Don't you have "the latest IPhone" to call your boss and explain the situation with? And a spare tire you can replace your flat one with? And a mechanic nearby who will shove a rubber strip in the flat for a small fee?
I had to explain to my boss once that a jug of used motor oil I needed to get rid of spilled in the trunk and I'd be late. Very late. I didn't lose my job over that.
At this point it's just willful ignorance. Or you don't have a car to begin with. Do you want a Bidencar? I mean, Obamaphones were a thing so...
Or has so consistently pissed off her employer and been so consistently late that he told her "One more time and you're fired. Being an hour late 3 days a week for a part time job is unacceptable."
^True, also on the tire thing, people should be saving up to buy extra tires, not living on their last tire, prices for tires are going to go up (and for some of these cars (audi, bmw, etc.) these libs buy they are going to go up alot more)
Course its not so much the tire, the car getting damaged or something like that, you can't just always fix the stuff on the car yourself anymore. Everything is getting so automated that you have to have a bunch of specialized equipment to be able to get the car to actually work these days. Like Taxes, where things start to get so needlessly complicated that you have to go to someone to do your taxes, so you know how much you owe the government for the permission to exist.
Inflation is dependent on both base cash volume and the speed at which cash changes hands.
Despite 60% of current $US having been printed in 2020, inflation hasn't set in yet because people don't spend as much, reducing the speed at which cash changes hand (roughly went down 50%).
We are currently in a frail balance where deflation and inflation are at odds, and central banks are carefully leveling the deflation with the bill printing presses.
With that said, inflation will rear its ugly head once "cash speed" returns to pre-pandemic levels. We are sitting on a ticking timebomb.
The only thing I have debt on is my house. I own my cars, phones, food, toys, camera, computers and laptops, car parts, literally everything but my house. I don't owe money on shit. And despite being an electrical apprentice, have plenty house payments saved up to last a pretty good time, after having fully remodeled my house myself. I can sell it and have made a decent profit, not be in a single penny in debt, and have plenty money saved up until the great reset.
Many immigrants scrimped and saved in order to attain financial security, my own parents included. Now I work with low income girls who complain about financial trouble while paying for eyelash extensions, buying Kylie Jenner trash products, buying iphones & watches, buying Starbucks regularly. I call these the fake-poors.
If traitor RINOs that have been selling America to China set up a system where your vote does not matter and your jobs are both going overseas while they import all types of illegals and H1Bs into the country to drive wages down...
Is that really freedom? Do you feel like you live in a free country?
Really?
That tweet may be stupid... but I don't think it is as stupid as you think it is.
Stop blowing cash on vegan food, take out, delivery, stupid shit on Amazon, and other bullshit.
Budget yourself better. Build credit. Don't live outside your means. Don't live in an expensive city and work a job that pays you shit. Don't buy a brand fucking new 2022 electric car knowing your payments are going to be 300+ a month, plus full coverage insurance. Stop buy worthless apps on your phone. Stop upgrading your phone every year.
And Why we loved Trump toward the end of 2019, life was looking significantly better across the board so the left rebranded the common cold and flu and forced everyone into worklessness and stress enough that people felt powerless, then they dropped Floyd on us.
The reason all of those things are so expensive is because of government fuckery. These leftist retards want to solve it with...more government fuckery.
The allure of socialism is tempting because the socialists in charge have fucked up capitalism. A lot of people need to realise this. They might not be as big hard by it but for a lot of people what you have tondo to get ahead and the opportunities available for a basic minimal standard of living are dwindling.
Socialist leaders love to let capitalism fail and break it to steer people into their arms. You need to come to this level of understanding to fight them. Of course either way they draw people to them who are malcontent or entirely responsible for their lack of prosperity. Be careful not to get the two confused.

When you vote socialists into power to make sure nothing goes wrong with things like capitalism they do the opposite. If it's broken the last thing they'll do is fix it. Instead they'll offer you an alternative, socialism. If you try to fixed it they'll stop you.
Always think twice before voting in socialists. Their intention is to always make capitalism seem so bad that even socialism looks good by comparison. Having socialists run a capitalism system simply doesn't work.
They could get some cheap land, build a small house on it and live without all of the unnecessary shit they think they "need".
Have no mortgage and be debt free in their early twenties.
But they don't want to be financially stable, they want to be like the "influencers" they see on the internet. Who keep tags on their clothes to return them after one wear and post pictures in front of cars that arent theirs on instagram to cultivate the illusion they are much more successful and happy than reality.
I literally did this. Got some land, built a small house. Mortgage payments well within my means. Paying it off very early. 36 years old, 2 kids and debt free besides mortgage and definitely not 1 blown tire away from homelessness. Gain a trade and live within your means and you'll never be broke again.
Nah big disagree. With all the immigrants artificially lowering wages people have a reason to complain. You want low cost housing? Well have fun, you'll have black neighbors and high crime. Would you want to raise children in a migrant infested area? Secondly, not everyone is intelligent enough to make lots of money. Going into the future, even if you are, wages will plummet due to population spikes and visas.
Armchair economist here, but thats another problem caused by government im afraid.
There is no job shortage. Thats government bullshit 101. If there is work to be done, there is no job shortage. Because there will always be work that could be done, there will never be a job shortage.
The government just stepped in and said unless your work is worth some arbitrary amount of make believe dollars, you cant work.
Also, unless you meet all these prohibitively expensive regulations, you canât just âemployâ yourself and create things of value. So the entire frame of having a limited job pool is a symptom of government fuckery rather than an economic âtruthâ.
Low income housing? We literally used to make our own houses. See if you can find the old foxfire books about the Appalachian people, they actually show the whole process with pictures.
We donât need âlots of moneyâ to be healthy, functioning, productive members of society. We need the access to work for as much as we NEED, and the freedom to work for as much as we WANT.
Saying "there's not enough money" is like saying "there's not enough inches". It's not an issue of the financial system it's an issue of the people running it.
Hilarious coming from a bunch of snarky assholes on the internet who have and buy all the things they tell others to do without. You all really took Trumpâs loss hard, and what are you doing about it? Not much.
Yeah some, actually most, christians completely misrepresent what Jesus actually stood for and preached. Lots of cherry picking whatever bible verse fits their agenda.
Jesus went to the criminals. He spent time with the murderers, the prostitutes, the tax collectors, because they needed the most help.
Not that we shouldnât judge people based on their actions, but we should attempt to reach out to them and bring them out of whatever self-destructive cycle they are in.
No reaching out going on here besides you. The rest are just a cult of downvote pile ons. âDo your own researchâ with condescension and an air of superiority. These folks remind me of Reddit shills on politics.
Ever since Jan 6th this site has been alot slower.
Alot of people either
A. Lost the site after the domain change
B. Are scared of fbi monitoring of this site
C. Are taking a mental health break from political news.
The ones still here are the ones who live and breathe this shit. They take it extra hard that we not only did our best, but won in a historic fucking landslide and spineless bitches in our own party just stood by and let it get stolen.
Im over it, they stole it fair and square to quote Bannon. Im in it for the long haul, we need to think/act generationally. The globaleftists donât value family so they will lose long term.
Yep. Been that way for a good while now. This place is going down the shitter.
You canât have an original thought or express any criticism with some of the people. Then youâre a cuck or a faggot shill. Itâs getting sad around here.
Yeah but you don't see us on the internet saying how I'm one step away from homelessness. See that's the other problem with this generation, you don't know how to take advice without being offended by it.
IF YOU HAVE A PS5 BUT ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM HOMELESSNESS, YOU MADE STUIPD FUCKING DECISIONS.
My brother in law has like $90K in college debt and makes something like $85K a year in graphic design, and he never has money because he literally just blows every paycheck buying a pound of weed.
I know people like this. They borrowed $100,000 to get a Sociology degree out of state. The go on expensive vacations because they deserve it. They eat out all the time. They have expensive tastes. They procreated outside of a committed relationship. They fucked up, and it's not their fault.
They have such a romantic, glamourized view of Socialism because they have never experienced it's consequences. Instead they have been convinced by left-wing radicals that Socialism's horrors are merely Western propaganda. God help this nation.
Excluding the most extreme examples (and shit like a bitch ex raping your financials over a divorce) I genuinely have no idea how so many grown ass adults can be so broke. If normal for you is one flat tire away from being broke, you're Fucking stupid.
Dopamine addictions. They compulsively consume because they've desensitized their dopamine receptors using "superstimuli" like drugs, social media, junk food, and porn.
Because they do these things, they feel like crap when they aren't doing these things. If they would stop convincing themselves they need to, then stop doing it, it goes away with minimal suffering.
I was wondering the same thing. I lived on minimum wage when I left my parents at 17 for a couple years before I gained a skill that got me paid more.
Live with roommates, donât buy every game on steam, stop buying alcohol/drugs/tobacco until you can afford them. Itâs not hard just requires a little self control
Leftist policies/big government/high taxes are the reasons why the wealth gap continues to get worse. âGimme datâ only creates a widening gap. Influx of illegal immigration joining the workforce depresses wages and kills the American worker (supply and demand is ecom 101). AZ cracked down on illegal immigration years ago and guess what? The wealth gap narrowed.
She does kinda have a point. We have a gaping hole in our economy where manufacturing jobs used to be. Jobs that used to provide a middle class existence for families. Now theyâre gone, and a large portion of our workforce has to settle for lesser paying jobs where theyâre competing with illegals and other non-skilled workers.
Lots of these peopleâs expectations are also way too high, because what they donât tell you in college is that the American Dream takes time, and you have to work hard for it. Even after going to college.
If youâre lucky or extremely talented you might find early success, but thatâs not most people. Most people donât get to the big bucks until later in their careers, once they have the experience to justify it.
Maybe this is more personal to me because Iâve been in a position where I had to declare bankruptcy because of medical bills. In my case we had no medical insurance because the economy sucked, I was working temp jobs, and my wife needed an emergency appendectomy. 18 hours later they discharged her from the hospital. When we got the bill a week later, for $24K, we about shit ourselves.
The worst part is we were so broke we couldnât even afford the lawyer to go bankrupt. It took us a year to pay him his retainer to file the paperwork.
People have to start getting into them chips. Intel is dumping another $20 billion into Arizona. TSMC is going to build a factory too. Theyâre going to be fighting over electricians, carpenters, tool installers and construction coordinators soon.
I'm honestly okay with a "socialized" healthcare system in the form of a national insurance that throttles what they'll pay hospitals, that covers shit that isn't your fault.
If you're a stupid cunt and you fell off a roof filming a Youtube parkour video, you're a faggot who deserves to be dead or broke.
A better approach would be to outlaw for-profit corporations in the field of healthcare. The world's wealthiest stockholders should not have a vested interest in people getting sick, staying sick, or buying health care products they don't need. But they do.
Freedom doesnât mean that you are free for only good things to happen, to you. It means that you are free to try to shape your destiny, as you see fit, but bad things may still happen. You are also free to reap the benefits, and consequences, of your actions.
That's why women should stay home, raise the kids and support men so they don't have to worry about how close away from financial ruin they are. Let the men deal with the responsibility of freedom.
Well it helps if you don't try to make a living off of barista tier wages in a mega crowed shithole city.
It helps if you don't blow what little liquid funds you have on overpriced bullshit like avocado toast at a trendy corner bistro for selfies taken on the latest model of slave labor produced smartphone instead of education or training that will help you actually pay off your loan for a poorly chosen degree.
It helps if you don't brainlessly support collectivist legislation that decouples the services you want from competition and accountability just because the fuckstains promoting it used emotional rhetoric that could not stand up to any sort of actual cross examination.....and then end up shocked that the costs have skyrocketed out of your reach without signing your soul away to insurance middlemen whose business model profits by using any excuse they can for not providing the service paid for.
Learn how to grow wealth and you would not be in that position. Learn how to spend less money.
Want financial freedom? learn how to invest in stocks or invest in real estate. (though don't rent houses out, people don't have to pay rent anymore).
Having government give you money every month isn't freedom, it makes you a slave to the goverment because you have to do what the goverment says in order to get that money.
Get an old car and pay it off. Keep your phone longer. Go to a thrift store. Donât buy the latest shit. Cut off your cable. Get free education to better your skill set (they have courses). Network at church / other places you frequent. Get off the internet? There is always a way. Fack change your name to something Hispanic and get free shit and free housing and say you were abused and get more free shit. (/s)
I know a solution: let's import hoardes of people to compete in the labor market, run shitty public schools that leave kids with no job skills at graduation, monopolize the medical system so they can buy out the regulatory bodies and crush out competition,
You also have the freedom to work harder and smarter to avoid a life like that. I grew up poor as hell, my hand me downs were hand me downs from multiple generations. Came out on top.
"If I'm not able to have multiple life-saving surgeries back to back without any financial hardship whatsoever, the entire system is broken and I deserve more money for doing less."
No that is freedom. The freedom of your bad stupid choices. You don't want to be one paycheck away from ruin save fucking money!!!!
I have enough stored to last me at least 3 years should anything happen that makes me incapable of earning a paycheck, which quite frankly would only be death so it's a bit redundant.
I am fully insured to cover those insane medical costs induced by Obamacare and on demand private healthcare. I have a spare tire. I drink my fucking milk like a good white supremacist.
Freedom is not being caught when you decide to do something stupid and not being held back by clawing government when you succeed.
The problem these people have with freedom
Is it also requires self sufficient and the ability to fail. Not everyone can be a winner in a capitalist meritocracy. Therefore anyone on the bottom of the socio-economic hierarchy sees no benefit to their freedom. Whether they are conscious of it or not, they are admitting that they cannot succeed on their own so they are willing to hand their lives over to someone else to let them run it.
This may be a controversial take but maybe having many people being one paycheck away from homelessness and having an opportunity to improve through intelligence and hard work is better than everyone being mandated to poverty through communism.
If you're not financially stable find someone online or in your life that is and ask for help. Don't ask him for money ask them to teach you how to budget.
One change will make you more financially sound figure out how much disposable income you have and decide how to spend it.
Just a simple Act of knowing how much disposable income you have, and budgeting it could change your life.
I used to live real close to that kinda situation, I somehow got into drugs which made it worse. Eventually I cleaned up, found a better place to live and found a better job. 2020 was one of my best years even with Lockdown conditions, and 2021 is looking to be a bit better unless Biden finds a way to fuck up TX enough for TX to no longer be worth living in.
You wouldn't be one paycheck away from homelessness if they didn't tax the shit out of it. Also, learn some responsibility (stupid cunt).
Or create a labor glut with millions of unskilled immigrants added every year.
Maybe you shouldn't be buying the newest IPhone every year and save some money?
Probably has a bunch of tats as well. The locals losers in my town who are constantly begging for money usually have a few thousand dollars worth of ink.
This is something that comes up all the time.
We probably all know people like this. These are the people that make enough money to live comfortably, but insist they are poor when they have the newest phone every year, 5-6 streaming services, a new car, designer clothes, an overpriced apartment, eat out everyday, covered with tattoos, smoke weed and go out drinking all the time.

We are debt slaves.
Not all of us
Inflation counts. That's still paying homage to the bankers whether you like it or not.
These low rates have a hidden cost, that is causing people to not save and plan for the future. In the 1930's during the great dustbowl, people were able to survive for years under incredibly harsh conditions without moving, this idiot is ruined if she breaks a bone.
this idiot is apparently 1 flat tire away from spiraling into homelessness. Perhaps she should have not purchased all those really pricey weed bags with colorful names like "the reaper" stuck on them.
The flat tire one really baffles me.
Don't you have "the latest IPhone" to call your boss and explain the situation with? And a spare tire you can replace your flat one with? And a mechanic nearby who will shove a rubber strip in the flat for a small fee?
I had to explain to my boss once that a jug of used motor oil I needed to get rid of spilled in the trunk and I'd be late. Very late. I didn't lose my job over that.
At this point it's just willful ignorance. Or you don't have a car to begin with. Do you want a Bidencar? I mean, Obamaphones were a thing so...
Or has so consistently pissed off her employer and been so consistently late that he told her "One more time and you're fired. Being an hour late 3 days a week for a part time job is unacceptable."
There was a lot that you could do in the 1930s that you can't do today.
^True, also on the tire thing, people should be saving up to buy extra tires, not living on their last tire, prices for tires are going to go up (and for some of these cars (audi, bmw, etc.) these libs buy they are going to go up alot more)

With that said, inflation will rear its ugly head once "cash speed" returns to pre-pandemic levels. We are sitting on a ticking timebomb.
After the 2009 Financial Crisis, I had discussions about "bi-flation":
Inflation in everything you owe, deflation in everything you own.
This scenario today is different for many reasons, and inflation is inevitable even without velocity.
Real inflation is already happening (food pricers, gas, etc), even if the miserable measurements like CPI don't indicate it yet.
The only thing I have debt on is my house. I own my cars, phones, food, toys, camera, computers and laptops, car parts, literally everything but my house. I don't owe money on shit. And despite being an electrical apprentice, have plenty house payments saved up to last a pretty good time, after having fully remodeled my house myself. I can sell it and have made a decent profit, not be in a single penny in debt, and have plenty money saved up until the great reset.
Only the homeless have seen the end of debt.
I own my house and acreage with zero debt and a million in liquid cash. Just took a little hard work.
Well, we can be anyway.
speak for yourself
I addressed this elsewhere on this thread.
We are all subject to the stealth tax of inflation due to that debt.
We are all subjects.
Reminds me of a scene from Last of the Mohicans.
British Soldier: "You call yourself a patriot, and loyal subject to the Crown?"
Hawkeye: "I do not call myself subject to much at all."
Many immigrants scrimped and saved in order to attain financial security, my own parents included. Now I work with low income girls who complain about financial trouble while paying for eyelash extensions, buying Kylie Jenner trash products, buying iphones & watches, buying Starbucks regularly. I call these the fake-poors.
"we're not free because we're 1 paycheck from homelessness" wants higher taxes
That is 'her' freedom, 'her' truth. Why can't you accept that, bigot?
Nobody is here to protect you especially Government.
Thinking that someone is supposed to come save you is stupid.
People thinking that they are entitled to anything is ludicrous.
Freedom is being able to make your own choices.
Is it though?
If traitor RINOs that have been selling America to China set up a system where your vote does not matter and your jobs are both going overseas while they import all types of illegals and H1Bs into the country to drive wages down...
Is that really freedom? Do you feel like you live in a free country?
Really? That tweet may be stupid... but I don't think it is as stupid as you think it is.
Stay a wage slave then, the truth hurts sometimes. Financial freedom is a real thing.
Then make more fucking money.
Stop blowing cash on vegan food, take out, delivery, stupid shit on Amazon, and other bullshit.
Budget yourself better. Build credit. Don't live outside your means. Don't live in an expensive city and work a job that pays you shit. Don't buy a brand fucking new 2022 electric car knowing your payments are going to be 300+ a month, plus full coverage insurance. Stop buy worthless apps on your phone. Stop upgrading your phone every year.
There are SEVERAL solutions.
The guy is a bit of a twerp, but...
Healthcare, gas, and other stuff IS too damn expensive. (And we shipped our manufacturing jobs overseas)
*This is precisely why we elected Trump
And Why we loved Trump toward the end of 2019, life was looking significantly better across the board so the left rebranded the common cold and flu and forced everyone into worklessness and stress enough that people felt powerless, then they dropped Floyd on us.
I'm a believer in these upcoming audits. (Especially Arizona)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWE9rGFcy6o
2.1million ballots will be examined, and counted by a team of 120 people.
*When the audit's finished in ~2months, it's going to be explosive. (~10,000 votes needed to flip AZ)
Then, there's Georgia and Wisconsin.
*Have skepticism, but there are good things coming.
The reason all of those things are so expensive is because of government fuckery. These leftist retards want to solve it with...more government fuckery.
Yeah, their "solutions" are retarded. ("Have rich people pay moar taxes into our bloated social programs and institutions")
But many of the problems are real. (My Grandpa could work part-time to easily pay for college)

Also, unless you meet all these prohibitively expensive regulations, you canât just âemployâ yourself and create things of value. So the entire frame of having a limited job pool is a symptom of government fuckery rather than an economic âtruthâ.
Low income housing? We literally used to make our own houses. See if you can find the old foxfire books about the Appalachian people, they actually show the whole process with pictures.
We donât need âlots of moneyâ to be healthy, functioning, productive members of society. We need the access to work for as much as we NEED, and the freedom to work for as much as we WANT.
Equity is for fags.
Saying "there's not enough money" is like saying "there's not enough inches". It's not an issue of the financial system it's an issue of the people running it.
The cities are dead. Move.
Hilarious coming from a bunch of snarky assholes on the internet who have and buy all the things they tell others to do without. You all really took Trumpâs loss hard, and what are you doing about it? Not much.
Not as hard as you guys (I use that term loosely) took your queen Hillary losing in 2016.
Its 5 years later and you are still going all out of your way to try and troll us to heal the pain.
I don't even go on reddit, you guys can jerk off to George Floyd all you want idgaf.
How dare you disrespect Fentanyl Floyd by using his Christian name and not his true crackhead name?
SAY HIS NAME
Fentanyl Floyd
George Kirby.
I am a Trump supporter btw. I love your Christ. I donât particularly care for some of his âChristians.â
Yeah some, actually most, christians completely misrepresent what Jesus actually stood for and preached. Lots of cherry picking whatever bible verse fits their agenda.
Jesus went to the criminals. He spent time with the murderers, the prostitutes, the tax collectors, because they needed the most help.
Not that we shouldnât judge people based on their actions, but we should attempt to reach out to them and bring them out of whatever self-destructive cycle they are in.
No reaching out going on here besides you. The rest are just a cult of downvote pile ons. âDo your own researchâ with condescension and an air of superiority. These folks remind me of Reddit shills on politics.
Ever since Jan 6th this site has been alot slower.
Alot of people either
A. Lost the site after the domain change
B. Are scared of fbi monitoring of this site
C. Are taking a mental health break from political news.
The ones still here are the ones who live and breathe this shit. They take it extra hard that we not only did our best, but won in a historic fucking landslide and spineless bitches in our own party just stood by and let it get stolen.
Im over it, they stole it fair and square to quote Bannon. Im in it for the long haul, we need to think/act generationally. The globaleftists donât value family so they will lose long term.
Sleeper account detected
Lol check my history. Projectionist shill detected. You dumb cucks have devolved into eating your own.
Yep. Been that way for a good while now. This place is going down the shitter.
You canât have an original thought or express any criticism with some of the people. Then youâre a cuck or a faggot shill. Itâs getting sad around here.
Trump won. Potato cheated. Fuck off rigger
President Trump was cheated, and he was peaceful. I suspect the next person who's going to inspire us will not be as nice.
Yeah but you don't see us on the internet saying how I'm one step away from homelessness. See that's the other problem with this generation, you don't know how to take advice without being offended by it.
IF YOU HAVE A PS5 BUT ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM HOMELESSNESS, YOU MADE STUIPD FUCKING DECISIONS.
Make more money means add more value to society. They don't get it.
Huh? This is far from true. Nearly every billionaire is working against societies interests. They are the ones funding mass migration and visas.
Exactly. Stop buying so much crap you donât need to impress people who donât care
My brother in law has like $90K in college debt and makes something like $85K a year in graphic design, and he never has money because he literally just blows every paycheck buying a pound of weed.
Then pair that with them destroying small businesses to force you to be a compliant wage.
She's right, just not in the way she thinks she is.
He? It?
Underrated 2nd sentence.
Thatâs a man
Freedom isn't determined by the size of your bank account.
To this slag, "freedom" is her getting a free ride through life while everyone else is enslaved. You know, typical leftism in action.
It's outcome vs opportunity
"How can you say I'm free when I can't afford to do the things I want to choose to do?"
Because you can choose to do them
"But not being able to afford it looks the same as being barred from it!"
One is achievable with your efforts, the other isn't achievable under any circumstances.
Ha!!! I punctured 2 sidewalls on my truck tires, broke my ankle, and missed 4 months of work in the past 8 months.
Still here! Back to work, almost walking normal, tires are fixed, and I'm happy to be free.
That dude's a bitch
I know people like this. They borrowed $100,000 to get a Sociology degree out of state. The go on expensive vacations because they deserve it. They eat out all the time. They have expensive tastes. They procreated outside of a committed relationship. They fucked up, and it's not their fault.
"I'm irresponsible with my money, America failed!"
They have such a romantic, glamourized view of Socialism because they have never experienced it's consequences. Instead they have been convinced by left-wing radicals that Socialism's horrors are merely Western propaganda. God help this nation.
Excluding the most extreme examples (and shit like a bitch ex raping your financials over a divorce) I genuinely have no idea how so many grown ass adults can be so broke. If normal for you is one flat tire away from being broke, you're Fucking stupid.
Dopamine addictions. They compulsively consume because they've desensitized their dopamine receptors using "superstimuli" like drugs, social media, junk food, and porn.
Because they do these things, they feel like crap when they aren't doing these things. If they would stop convincing themselves they need to, then stop doing it, it goes away with minimal suffering.
If you live in a state with legal weed, go hang out near a dispensary on payday and watch the lines.
I was wondering the same thing. I lived on minimum wage when I left my parents at 17 for a couple years before I gained a skill that got me paid more.
Live with roommates, donât buy every game on steam, stop buying alcohol/drugs/tobacco until you can afford them. Itâs not hard just requires a little self control
There was a time, less than a century ago, where all of these were true.
Doctors were local and affordable to most people
Communities took care of each other
And people knew how to change a god damnd tire.
Liberal policies took all that and more from us
Maybe manage your money better you giant pussy
Leftist policies/big government/high taxes are the reasons why the wealth gap continues to get worse. âGimme datâ only creates a widening gap. Influx of illegal immigration joining the workforce depresses wages and kills the American worker (supply and demand is ecom 101). AZ cracked down on illegal immigration years ago and guess what? The wealth gap narrowed.
It's still the best solution, because the Communism that this dipshit wants leads to mass starvation and death camps.
bUt I dOn'T hAvE tImE tO pAcK mY lUnCh & sAvE mOnEy!

Because they stay up too late going out & drinking, every time.
That's loser talk. Don't listen to losers, kids.
Accepting the possibility of failure is a huge part of freedom
She does kinda have a point. We have a gaping hole in our economy where manufacturing jobs used to be. Jobs that used to provide a middle class existence for families. Now theyâre gone, and a large portion of our workforce has to settle for lesser paying jobs where theyâre competing with illegals and other non-skilled workers.
Lots of these peopleâs expectations are also way too high, because what they donât tell you in college is that the American Dream takes time, and you have to work hard for it. Even after going to college.
If youâre lucky or extremely talented you might find early success, but thatâs not most people. Most people donât get to the big bucks until later in their careers, once they have the experience to justify it.
Maybe this is more personal to me because Iâve been in a position where I had to declare bankruptcy because of medical bills. In my case we had no medical insurance because the economy sucked, I was working temp jobs, and my wife needed an emergency appendectomy. 18 hours later they discharged her from the hospital. When we got the bill a week later, for $24K, we about shit ourselves.
The worst part is we were so broke we couldnât even afford the lawyer to go bankrupt. It took us a year to pay him his retainer to file the paperwork.
The few middle class manufacturing jobs left are all in the military, and the left wants to destroy those too.
People have to start getting into them chips. Intel is dumping another $20 billion into Arizona. TSMC is going to build a factory too. Theyâre going to be fighting over electricians, carpenters, tool installers and construction coordinators soon.
I'm honestly okay with a "socialized" healthcare system in the form of a national insurance that throttles what they'll pay hospitals, that covers shit that isn't your fault.
If you're a stupid cunt and you fell off a roof filming a Youtube parkour video, you're a faggot who deserves to be dead or broke.
It'll just drive prices up.
A better approach would be to outlaw for-profit corporations in the field of healthcare. The world's wealthiest stockholders should not have a vested interest in people getting sick, staying sick, or buying health care products they don't need. But they do.
Freedom doesnât mean that you are free for only good things to happen, to you. It means that you are free to try to shape your destiny, as you see fit, but bad things may still happen. You are also free to reap the benefits, and consequences, of your actions.
He may need to listen to a few episodes of Dave Ramsey
No, real freedom is me paying for all your things
That's why women should stay home, raise the kids and support men so they don't have to worry about how close away from financial ruin they are. Let the men deal with the responsibility of freedom.
Technically sheâs not wrong. Had she and her moms not married govt- weâve have more of our taxes to save, stay ahead.
Now itâs a disposable world and by design.
Just raise the minimum wage, yeah! Thatâll do it. ....
Contribute more to society, you get paid more money. It's not rocket science.
Cuntalina has spoken and...she's a dumbass
Maybe we shouldnât be taxing our businesses and individuals to death and sending that money to foreign countries who want to destroy us either.
I learned pretty quick to spend less than I earned and to keep a budget.
Thank god I worked my ass off to have a good job and dont have to worry about these things
Or get a job and learn to be an adult maybe?
Well it helps if you don't try to make a living off of barista tier wages in a mega crowed shithole city.
It helps if you don't blow what little liquid funds you have on overpriced bullshit like avocado toast at a trendy corner bistro for selfies taken on the latest model of slave labor produced smartphone instead of education or training that will help you actually pay off your loan for a poorly chosen degree.
It helps if you don't brainlessly support collectivist legislation that decouples the services you want from competition and accountability just because the fuckstains promoting it used emotional rhetoric that could not stand up to any sort of actual cross examination.....and then end up shocked that the costs have skyrocketed out of your reach without signing your soul away to insurance middlemen whose business model profits by using any excuse they can for not providing the service paid for.
Iâm in my 20s and I have savings.
Stop buying stuff and save money!
Learn how to grow wealth and you would not be in that position. Learn how to spend less money.
Want financial freedom? learn how to invest in stocks or invest in real estate. (though don't rent houses out, people don't have to pay rent anymore).
Having government give you money every month isn't freedom, it makes you a slave to the goverment because you have to do what the goverment says in order to get that money.
Wouldn't surprise me if this person didn't even know how to change his own tire anyway if it did blow out.
Get an old car and pay it off. Keep your phone longer. Go to a thrift store. Donât buy the latest shit. Cut off your cable. Get free education to better your skill set (they have courses). Network at church / other places you frequent. Get off the internet? There is always a way. Fack change your name to something Hispanic and get free shit and free housing and say you were abused and get more free shit. (/s)
I know a solution: let's import hoardes of people to compete in the labor market, run shitty public schools that leave kids with no job skills at graduation, monopolize the medical system so they can buy out the regulatory bodies and crush out competition,
Ooh ooh, what else?
You also have the freedom to work harder and smarter to avoid a life like that. I grew up poor as hell, my hand me downs were hand me downs from multiple generations. Came out on top.
Sounds to me like he has swallowed the red pill, welcome him, the more the merrier.
"If I'm not able to have multiple life-saving surgeries back to back without any financial hardship whatsoever, the entire system is broken and I deserve more money for doing less."
maybe that wouldn't be the case if you weren't a libtard
No that is freedom. The freedom of your bad stupid choices. You don't want to be one paycheck away from ruin save fucking money!!!!
I have enough stored to last me at least 3 years should anything happen that makes me incapable of earning a paycheck, which quite frankly would only be death so it's a bit redundant.
I am fully insured to cover those insane medical costs induced by Obamacare and on demand private healthcare. I have a spare tire. I drink my fucking milk like a good white supremacist.
Freedom is not being caught when you decide to do something stupid and not being held back by clawing government when you succeed.
I'm old enough to remember that before government got involved, we paid the doctor ourselves and had insurance for the "big stuff."
That system worked just fine. Before government got involved (to belabor the point).
The problem these people have with freedom Is it also requires self sufficient and the ability to fail. Not everyone can be a winner in a capitalist meritocracy. Therefore anyone on the bottom of the socio-economic hierarchy sees no benefit to their freedom. Whether they are conscious of it or not, they are admitting that they cannot succeed on their own so they are willing to hand their lives over to someone else to let them run it.
A small setback wouldn't make you homeless if it weren't for this.
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/
This may be a controversial take but maybe having many people being one paycheck away from homelessness and having an opportunity to improve through intelligence and hard work is better than everyone being mandated to poverty through communism.
If you're not financially stable find someone online or in your life that is and ask for help. Don't ask him for money ask them to teach you how to budget.
One change will make you more financially sound figure out how much disposable income you have and decide how to spend it.
Just a simple Act of knowing how much disposable income you have, and budgeting it could change your life.
Live deliberately.
I am none of these things.
Maybe you have the freedom to not live your life that way? Quit spending half your money on drugs
I used to live real close to that kinda situation, I somehow got into drugs which made it worse. Eventually I cleaned up, found a better place to live and found a better job. 2020 was one of my best years even with Lockdown conditions, and 2021 is looking to be a bit better unless Biden finds a way to fuck up TX enough for TX to no longer be worth living in.
