Washington post: Forget buying a house, a poncho is much cheaper.
"hey millenials and gen z stop eating out so you can buy a house"
"no not like that"
I saved up $750k just by cutting out avocado toast.
No, I'll never stop eating out! 
I think companies don't get ENOUGH hated from regular folks for the insane price gouging/inflation/ice cold all-American greed we see on just about every goddamn thing. Stuff as simple as bread, corn, milk and eggs (
but I know plenty of folks aren't it's whatevs), just super basics have skyrocketed.
The cult of capital truly went mask off during covid-19. They say everything go up and just stay up. I hate it so much.
Americans are upset, but because they've been so propagandized, rather than rightfully blaming companies and capitalism, they blame things like "being woke".
I have literally heard some of these hogs say "our bosses do actually pay us a fair wage is those damn taxes!"
Americans and America are total loss, the sooner these settlers Fuck off and vanish, the sooner we can recover.
They only say this because they can see the tax deducted from their pay, if your pay chewue began with the amount of money you made the company and then had a big giant subtraction for what the boss takes they'd have some perspective. It's cause taxes are honest about what's going on.
Do not my friends, become addicted to food...
Are the kinds of people who write this (and for whom the article is intended) so ridiculously rich they think they eat because it's a luxury they can afford rather than because they need to? Are they under the impression that starvation is just something stupid people believe exists?
Or maybe they're the opposite of babies when it comes to object permanence; they believe in it so much, that because they've never seen their cupboards and fridge empty, then to them it means it's impossible for food to run out.
I think it is actually not that far from the truth. If you've spent all your life inside the gilded bubble from which professional opinion-havers are drawn the concept of being broke is incomprehensible. They might have heard about it sometimes but emotionally it doesn't make sense to them. They can only comprehend of financial trouble as bankrupting your business and having to start a new one or having to spend money from a savings account.
No money, at all? No, that can't be, nobody lives like that. None of the people I know have ever had trouble buying food. Those poors must be over-dramatising it.
"The typical American household would need to spend $445 more a month to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago, a report from Moody's found."
You're splurging every time you buy food that isn't the cheapest source of the bare necessary amount of calories.
Imagine buying bread instead of flour and borrowing sourdough starter from your neighbors. So wasteful
Imagine buying flour instead of growing your own wheat and vegetables. So wasteful.
Good thing my local grocery store stopped stocking their cheapest pasta and replaced it with a bunch of new brands in fancier looking packaging.
Why are you buying food instead of working even more hours?? 
: “Wait, is that an application? But I’m not hiring, you know I’m picky!”
Seeing this article right after I bombed 100% of my paycheck for rent fills my hungry belly with an unreasonable amount of scathing hatred.
This lady was on strike for a cost of living increase last year. Ghoul
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
Trendy? New?? SPLURGE???
oh im so sorry to disappoint our great porky leaders, but im only a level 65 vegan. i cant live via photosynthesing....yet
This is a good example of the crass misanthropy of the neolib ghouls
Lololololol
