With rampant inflation, including fuel, how are people making it? I’m old, but I can’t imagine being a young family with children, working two jobs and only going deeper and deeper into debt. Something has to change.

Tightening the belt, student loans kicking in have made it a little tight.

I'm single with no kids and a doctor. I am working 2 jobs and making OT Balla money. Should have my student loan paid off by the end of next year and I saving my money so I can afford kids and a wife later. I do not know how the poors of the OT do it.

It honestly sucks. Wife and I make $140k together and live in a low COL state. We don't have an extravagant house and drive average cars and it still feels like we can't really get ahead. We are blessed with what we have and I feel bad for others who are less fortunate than we are, it's just shitty all around.

I have no idea. And plenty I know are only increasing the amount of luxuries they have in their life. I don’t see a lot of people peeling back at all.

Can’t eat fast food in California. That’s how I save.

If I could get one of these poor souls to roll down the window to their $50,000 SUV, I would ask them how they afford to live. But it seems they are too busy following the directions their $1000 cell phone is giving them to tonight’s restaurant of choice.

We're making cuts. My student loan is a driver. Is what it was. I had two kids since Covid.

DirecTV is going out the window.
Looking at insurance.
Stop eating out- planning more meals.

That's probably $600 a month just right there.

It's a house of cards that will collapse at some point.

If it wasn’t for OnlyFans I don’t know what we would do. Thank God for perverts.

The world has been dumping the dollar. Its only going to get a lot worse. Using Swift as a weapon never should have happened. Now the petro dollar must be replaced because the system cant be trusted. Short term thinking always bites you in the arse in the long run.

When I think of all the money she took from young girls pockets this summer it sickens me.
