Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Fook that's a lot of money. I was married with kids making $15/hr and we were fine. It's about getting good deals, having no debt, driving old cars you fix yourself, and not blowing money on frivalous crap like Starbucks, food delivery, and endless subscriptions to modern bullshit like media services. You kids waste so much these days expecting to be able to spend nickles and dimes everywhere (screw these new business models that bleed you dry with constant payments).
If you can't live on $50k/yr something is wrong with the choices you're making.
Lol, did you not read their expenses?
23*40*52=47840/12=3986.66*(8/10)=3189.33Say taxes and such only 20%, likely more if they have any health insurance. 1850 out with rent & student loans.Take away the food 400. Leaves for electric (150), water (25), trash(10), car note(300), gas(150), maintenance (30), car insurance (180) Netflix(15) Internet (40) prepaid phone (20)Leaving $19.33, assuming I didn't miss any reasonable expenses. Good luck saving up for anything or cutting down expenses, maybe return to a the college diet of ramen til you can pay off the car, if not indefinitely. 1 unexpected expense away from disaster.
E: Fixed the number formatting, ty!
Drop the Netflix and hit the high seas mate.
10 dollars a month shouldn't break the budget of someone working full time.
Yah, that was my thinking, and chances are they can get Netflix and other services for free from friends/family. But if a trip through a drive through destroyed the budget, bigger issues.
