Must be those soy vanilla frappes and the new iphone.
From the times people bother to break down their budget and spending. It's always this:
Entertainment (This could mean spending premium on streaming services, game subscriptions, whatever) - Roughly $100+
They're on a bundled plan where they only use the internet (they have cable and phone that they never touch because again, they watch streaming and they have their smartphones) - $150+ or more.
Their rent is $950 ~ $1,200
They regularly go to McDonalds, Starbucks or if they're not going to them, they're heading out to their local joints that upsell. Each visit we'll say is $50+
They spend $100 ~ $200 on weed and alcohol combined.
Their phone plan is $100+
Their grocery spending is $100 ~ $150
Like, nearly everything they spend on, is going to be triple digits or higher double digits. They shout down and argue with others when they're defensive going on about "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY MONEY!!!1"
Bruh, you're the one coming online and bitching about why you're always broke, whining about your wage, crying about your rent, complaining about why things are so costly.
Bottom line is - it's YOU. You're trying to chase a lifestyle that you can't sustain because you make so many bone-headed decisions thinking these are the keys to a comfortable lifestyle. Shut the fuck up and realize where in parts that some of your budgeting is wrong.
Yikes lmao
it's peak 'argument i had with myself in the shower' for sure
