Ah, so saying people are "upset" and "melting" are manly things to do. So now we have drink Folgers, swill beer and be a fatty, and speak like a preteen girl. Damn, you are a manly man.

Stop trying to keep up with the Jones’s, they’re in debt up to their eyeballs. Oh, and live below your means.

Spend less than you make. Build a cushion in your account for hard times that easily accessible then start investing all savings in something safe with a solid return. Any middle class person who does this can retire comfortably

It’s really that simple.

If I go ina fast food restaurant i raid the napkins.
