>no longer dine out>haven't bought any new clothes in 5 years>never shave anymore, don't need razors or cream, just an electric trimmer>wear the same pair of underwear for 2-3 days>don't go on joyrides anymore >broke up with my high school sweetheart>got the absolute bare minimum dogshit car insurance possible>cancelled all streaming services>only buy food in bulk and mostly eat parboiled white rice in beef broth>don't visit parents anymore (70 mile round trip)So my take-home is $3,000 and my expenses, after penny pinching and cutting things out of my life, is now $2,600. Very cool. Am I gonna make it?
>>5364982103000 a week is normal. With ot I make bout 3500.taxes are a bitch
no no noboomer maxxing you gotta go innawoods
>>536498210Get a safety razor.Double edge safety razor blades cost like $10 for 100 blades which will last you nearly two years, and gives a very close shave. Way better than any disposable or electric
>sit at home all day when not working or working on my business>only things I purchase are things for my business or food>bare minimum everything>take home is $3500 on a good month>after all bills left with $1500 to pay down $12k zero interest business debtYou and me are both not going to make it. Everything we own will inflate away faster than we can save or earn. Things will only get worse and everyone will only get poorer. One speeding ticket, flat tire caused by pothole, root canal etc etc from getting fucked.
>>536498325why not innaboat?i want a boat and a cove to hide treasure in.
>>536498210Forgot to mention student loans kick in starting October which eats $270 a month, then rent is probably going up by $400 in 2027grimdire even
>>536498459safety razors suck, i have to make them loose to get a good shave out of them and i'm always afraid the blade will slip, best is like really good clippers that don't "bite"
>>536498528I've never heard of anyone loosening their safety razor, that sounds dangerous. I use Astra or Feather blades (very carefully) and do a three-pass technique. I gotta go slowly but I get a really good result this way. With other brands, maybe I get one good shave outta them before they start to drag and suck. Astra and Feather last over a week
>>536498638Mine just sucks then, cause it screws on and if it's tight then it bends the blade slightly with poor angle and doesn't shave correctly, if I loosen it I can actually cut with the thing.
>>536498210all that to save $400
Good job soon youll be able to retire and play videogames forever
no amount of financial planning can make up for an economic recession, inflation and depressed wagesbootstrap boomer nonsense. the problem is systemic not personal
>>536499023I wish more people understood this. Bailing water from a leaking boat is fine as a stop gap measure, not a life plan.
>>536498728They are supposed to bend the blade a little. Maybe yours sucks, or maybe you need to find the right angle to shave. It took me a while to figure out the best angle.. it's different than using a disposable, I gotta hold it at like a 30 degree angle with the safety razor
>>536498210>>broke up with my high school sweetheartThat's where you messed up.You could have rented her out to Boomers as a side hustle. That's why you're poor, no entrepreneurial spirit
seeing people discuss money makes me sick to my fucking stomach, it's just feral
I donate to the poor by pelting them with change. It's both cheap ebtertainment and tax deductible philanthropy.
>>536498210I brake up with my high school sweethearts as soon as they graduate.
I'm convinced the "correct and responsible" way to live is a scam to keep you immobile and ineffective(ie; not a threat to those in power). It's set up as the only legal way to live so you can essentially be a slave. Then you've got all the niggers without a care in the world, taking out loans and not paying them back, living recklessly, driving without insurance or registration, partying and having the times of their lives(plus getting all the women) who merely get a slap on the wrist then they clash with the law. The whole society is literally just a giant humiliation ritual for those who would be dumb enough to follow the rules it seems
