>be a normie
>complain about rising costs of living
>bitch about billionaires
>*unmask the balance sheet*
>12%+ frivolous fees/month
Why can't normies budget? is it just low IQ? Like this Plebbitor spends $110 a month on completely frivolous expenses at his stage (haircuts, spotify)

Also stories from normies being shit with money.
>>
>take on debt to go to university
>make $2,200 a month
lol lmao
>>
>>62254481
How is it fucking possible to waste $96 on a fucking haircut a month? And $13 for a fucking spotify? Aren't there free unlockers which take like 3 minutes to install?
>>
>retarded normie can't help hemorrhaging money on dumb bullshit
A tale as old as time. He could get rid of his gym membership and with just a couple months of savings buy dumbbells and a pullup bar. He can buy a $20 electric razor and just shave his head a couple times a month. Music is free, if you pay for it you're a dumbass nigger.
>>
>>62254481
>is it just low IQ?
Yes. You need a relatively high IQ to be able to recognize how your actions today impact your future, plan appropriately and then ultimately act on that in ways that might mean you do slightly less fun things and forego immediate gratification (or have to think just a little bit before you do shit an expensive way)

Yeah lmao two haircuts a month, $110 phone bill is turbo retarded. How his rent is $425 but utility bill is $150 suggests to me basic retardation in managing electricity use.

Like I'm an absolute richfaggot and went to the best barber I could find in DC, I get it cut maybe every 5-6 weeks, total is $75 and I tip $25, $100. I spend less on my hair than this faggot.
>>
>>62254551

make it make sense. university of kentucy? is that student debt? why is his income only 2200 with a degree?
>>
>>62254481
Not everyone wants to retire in five years, buddy.
>>
>>62254481
Am I missing something? They have $900 expenses (before food) a month and an income of $2200.
Their budget is balanced.
If they throw all their remaining money at debts they’ll be debt free in 3 years.

Well, yeah, but You also want to save something so You don't have to take more loans once some shit hits the fan (and it will). So make it 8+ years. While I was able to get a house, a car and a decend portfolio to make me not worry about money ever again, this poor redditor will be still a rentoid with nothing to their name in 8 years.
>>
>>62254615
Their debt probably has really high interest.
Also they just have no idea what they're doing, they shouldn't have access to money, they forgot to even write down FOOD.
They got themselves indebted to 19 different people, and I have no idea how you end up owing money to a Fire Department.
>>
>>62254680
I can’t tell if the names are people’s names or loan platforms…. Like I know Dave is a payday loan thing but the rest are their friends maybe?

This very well may be the worst person I’ve ever seen with money. Either that or it’s bait. Lmfao the fire department debt. The university debt looks like they didn’t even go for long enough to get a degree, probably bc they’re an absolute fucking Neanderthal and had to drop out. The utility being over 1/3rd the rent is hilarious too. My guess is he’s living with 4x other people and just pays the entire utility

Basically no entry level 'college required' jobs pay more than 20 dollars an hour unless you're a larper posting about making 200k starting.

Probably gacha payments, eating out, useless tech shit no one needs.
Normies are called cattle by Jews and other non-normies for a reason.
>>
>>62254579
>>62254520
Degreeflation in effect. Basically, as across the decades more and more low-end midwits (100 IQish) got pushed into higher ed, correspondingly the value of the degree evaporated. Thus, 2026 minimum wage college grads.

i dont understand how the phone bill is 110 dollars. my phone bill is £5 a month and i dont even use all of it.
>>
>>62254772
Don't forget a $110 monthly phone bill.
I ranted about modern phones in another thread.
I bought an 8xcore 2.4ghz 8gb RAM phone 2 years ago new for $200. I pay $160 annually for unlimited txt and calls and 3x as much monthly data as my average use.

While these retards are paying $1,320 a year.
For what!?

In the past 3 years they will have paid $3,960.
And I paid $680.
That's $3,280 more than me. They could have bought a whole car, or paid off nearly 10% of their debt just from their phone bill.

It grinds my gears, but when someone is paying $96 a month for haircuts then has to "Float Me" $23.00 it's beyond parody.

The median net worth of most people in america age 25-35 is probably closer to 35K USD. Why are people so poor.

Even if you have like half a million at 30 years old which is like poverty money to the 1%, its still 90% of all modern adults in america.

WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE SO POOR? Why can't they just save 30k a year and invest that each year over 5 years that's easily 250k with the stock market going up.
>>
>>62254481
>$100 a month on haircuts

The first step to financial freedom is taking the buzzcut pill. Looks like this guy owes a few people some blowjobs too. The next step is living like a jeet in some garbage rental arrangement and hating your life. I do these, drive a shitty car, don't pay for any subscriptions and I make several times his pay. I listen to music on youtube with an adblocker. Adblockers have been free for years and normies still pay with their time and money.

It's not about IQ. It's about how university in the US was about nepotism and gatekeeping for a defacto nobility. Everyone rushing into colleges because 'look how much better graduates do' ignored the real function of a college, elitist gatekeeping that didn't offend US courts.
Degreeflation represents the class of college grads becoming increasingly average as the cohort grew, rather than their brain power reflecting the average of that larger sample.

>There is a belief that university students have a higher IQ than the general population. A recent meta-analysis has addressed this issue (Uttl et al., 2024), analyzing the average IQ scores of 9,902 students tested using intelligence tests (Weschler) in the United States and Canada, grouped by decades from 1939 to the most recent one beginning in 2019. The data sets reviewed show an approximate decline of 0.2 points in the IQ of university students per year, falling to a current IQ of 102, i.e., the level of the general population without a university education. Furthermore, following a normal distribution curve, a very high percentage of university st

pretty soon it'll be. $15 to wash your clothes at the laundromat??? Go down to the lake and rinse your clothes in fecal water. You're getting more and more retarded.

With this incredible advice, he'll be able to pay off his debt in a little over 16 years, assuming it's not accumulating interest (it is).

You're on the same level of retardation as boomers declaring that young people can't afford homes because they're spending all their money on avocado toast. Going to the gym and getting professional haircuts to not look like a sperg who cuts his own hair will unironically be a far better financial investment than saving a couple hundred dollars a month. Being fit and well groomed will go a long way toward getting a better job which is the only realistic advice you should be giving someone like this, not fucking
>well if you just cut your own hair for the next 20 years then you might save enough to pay down your debt
