How the hell are working class folks doing it out here :picard:

Would hate to grow up in these days. My granny's favorite word was No. She was old school to the bone. If she gave u 5 dollars last week and u ask for some money this week she'd be bewildered that you don't got nothing left from that five she "just" gave u, and that was in the 90s. Her head would spin and pop off if I was to ask her for a thousand dollar anything. Even if she were alive today she would not be buying us extra stuff. Shoes and clothes at the beginning of the school yr and at Christmas. Don't ask for nothing else.

Granny and mom told me" people in hell want ice water" if I wanted something

I spoke on this a couple months ago and people got big mad.

shyt just doesn't add up to me. I can live comfortably only because I'm very fortunate. I worry and wonder how everyone else is hanging on our there. Was at Food Lion today and saw a woman loaded up with food stamps buying basic groceries.

Do you think things gonna get better within the next few years? I sure hope so!

This is certainly not the time to get into heavy debt, especially for things that aren't a necessity.

Sorry for late reply, man I don't know. This market makes no sense. I get that "tractor beam" feel where there are financial forces out there I don't understand working to keep things stabilized.

Everything is financed

It's like you have to buy on every year

if you can't make a one time purchase of 1k, your the problem, How hard is it to save 200 dollars a week for the purchase

Ok boss. Half of Americans have less than 400 in savings and you wonder why a thousand dollars is a major purchase?!?!


Ridiculous

We are in the 2020's breh everything is a flex and fake.

People are in debt, one pay check away from the streets and own no real wealth.

B-but what about those overinflated 100k+ tech salaries

 

[The War Report]

Most people get those phones through carriers and pay it off monthly.
