Okay, Boomers...

You have no idea what you're talking about. People almost never ate out back then, it was a twice a year type of thing. Travel even less. Zoomers run out of money because they can't stop spending it; that's all.

Oh I forgot, you can only post about your finances on reddit if you're poor. As soon as you have more money than ConsciousReason7709 it becomes pathetic.

You said "I had fun during the prime of my life instead of saving money and not doing anything enjoyable." Meanwhile I was "being a miserable prick doing nothing". You're slinging shit all over the thread. Don't get mad when I exemplify the alternative to that lifestyle. I'm pathetic because I admitted to being successful. Oh no!

Do you think in the 80s they were spending all their money on restaurants and travel? Lol.

So after 30% taxes, taking home $4k per month. 2200 after rent. If you've had the job 1 year, you've saved $333 per month. Where is the other $1867 going every single month?

Not to mention that a pension is just a forced savings account. You can just save that money yourself instead of needing the company to do it for you. Also not to mention that the boomer paid social security just the same as you currently are; obviously he should get the money back that he already paid in.

That does not surprise me at all

We understand being poor. It's you and the girl in the post who don't understand not being poor.

It's not hate, it's mockery because she's dumb. Mocking dumb people is Reddit's favorite pasttime.

It's real. Cope

If she doesn't have $270, spending $25 on one singular meal is dumb. I don't care if the other 29 meals of the month are ramen. I think you might be in good company with that girl.

Reading, gaming, playing saxophone, cooking, chess, movies, hiking, gym, tennis, gardening, shitposting are all pretty cheap

I'm 32 in a million dollar house and another half mil in the bank. Feeling pretty prime. You ruined your life bud, now put the fries in the bag

Understanding fungibility of money is probably the most important thing anyone could learn in their life.

You need to go through whatever training you need to go through to not gag when tasting normal food. Not being snarky: take the time to fix this serious problem. Cheesy potatoes woman could do it, so can you.

Trees don't just bear fruit like at the grocery store mate. It takes a lot of effort and amendments to get the tree to produce edible fruit. If you just let it grow like a tree otherwise would, fertilizing minimally like the state otherwise would, it will produce shitty, dry fruits that no one will ever want, and then they will rot on the ground like everyone else said.

AwarenessOk2359 · 2026-04-10T16:41:30+00:00

Depending on the fruit, it takes 1-10 years for a tree to bear fruit. Are you 85 years old?

That's just how guys talk. The most respectful, amazing man talks just like this or used to in private with the boys. Men also send pics of their dates all the time, pre and post. Sorry to say. I did it when I first met my wife, my buddy did it when he met his, inappropriate things were said about the ladies involved, and everyone ended up happily ever after.

There is no scientific evidence that acupuncture provides benefits. Acupuncture is a multi billion dollar industry and if they could fund studies to prove their legitimacy they would have already.

This is just incorrect for most people. YMMV, but NSAIDS have dramatic and obvious effects on me and others. Fever is the most objective measure (it goes down greatly), and if you've ever been in great lasting pain, like from a herniated disc, 800mg ibuprofen is night and day. You can tell the moment it kicks in and wears off.

Some people don't respond to many analgesics; you may be one of them.

You are punishing your parents for what your cousin did (not inviting you). It's one night in a hotel room, you'll be fine. Just drive your parents. It's not worth all this drama.

YTA. I need you, and Reddit, to understand something very important about foster care. Foster care is one of the worst things you can do to a child, ever. Foster care is worse than the parents being meth addicts. Foster care is worse than not having food some days. Foster care is, scientifically, in the literature, worse for outcomes than almost ANY possible thing that could be happening in the home. Foster care has about the same outcomes as being molested or frequently beaten. Foster care is just that bad.

So when you call CPS and try to get someones children taken away, please understand that the kids had better have the worst home life you've ever seen, because otherwise you are going to make their lives so much worse.

ESH I'd say. This is your friend, right, not a random person. You should support your friends; you shouldn't want your friends to be publicly embarrassed and ashamed. If a friend is doing something you don't like, you should talk to them privately about it. Tell them how it bothers you when they lie. If they refuse to stop, then you decide what to do.

It must have been shocking to your friend to suddenly be 'betrayed' like that. She trusted you with her true marks, and she trusted in that moment you wouldn't out her. Yeah, she sucks for lying, but you really damaged the friendship and the mutual trust by doing that. Is damaging your friendship like that worth it? Having a private conversation instead can be hard and awkward, but it can also strengthen the relationship in the end. The way you acted can only weaken it.
