Nah it comes down to lack of accountability & bad money management

Ain’t got nothing to do with living life vs retirement

People in general make bad decision & make excuses after. Spending money on restaurant food that will last a day instead of buying food to last the week.

Going out & blowing money on drinks when you don’t have it to spend. If you wanna drink grab a bottle it will be cheaper. Tricking off cuz she might let you smash lol

Do better

You need a balance.

Why save all this money, when you can die tommorrow? And all that staying at home saving money for years you’ll look back & see all you did was “save”.

Not to mention inflation means your balance won’t even amount to much anymore.
So YOLO:yeshrug:
That is cool until you are 55 and realize you are going to have to work until you are dead. YOLO.

True but that’s why you need a balance.

I forgot the poster’s name, but he told a story of a woman who saved & worked all her life; only to die of a heart attack not too long after she retired on a cruise.

It’s hard finding that balance, but when you do it’s sweet. It’s getting harder & harder to find it though.

Cuz it doesn’t exist. Balance is another word for working half assed.

i see people posting brunch on weekends, even on weekdays then traveling somewhere new every week. then they buy new clothes to flex on IG while being 40k+ in debt. idk bro it annoys me a little but it’s not my business though

it makes me feel like im missing out on my entire 20s having no exposure living in a cave while nikkas is flexing on me and bytches thinking they’re better than me but at least im not blowing bread like crazy.

ive been able to have financial discipline by accident just from barely being able to do shyt as a youth. blowing money to me is spending $250+ on some kicks every pay period then im satisfied.
