I paid $20 for Stout’s butthole pic last week.

It wasn’t worth the money. Turns out he’s a real a-hole.

If this is full time work, I could live quite well on this pay. Then again, I've been homeless before, and living in a tent in the woods is not a big deal to me.

My math may be trash.. but simplified greatly she makes
$5400 a month.
-1600 in taxes
-1500 for rent or house note
-350 for car note (this is low these days)
- 210 in utilities
-300 for food
- 100 for cell phone
-200 for boiled crawfish

She should have around $300 to save

Eh.. May be 1800 in taxes

I make roughly this much and I can’t fathom being unable to survive on my income level lol. Family excepted, because I don’t have dependents, and they obviously greatly complicate things.

Y'all are forgetting about her $480,000 in student loans she took out for that useless Sociology degree with a minor in Womens Studies. Mean old government won't pay that back for her.

Too bad you didn't have a wise father to teach you to live within your means. If she wants to live large, earn it.

Now I got it. Everyone in this thread missed one comment in the beginning of the video that explains it all. She says she can't afford the gas to make it to work "three times a week...". This chick is working PART TIME and likely without benefits.

Need more money? How about picking up more shifts? shite. I want to work three days a week too but I can't afford that.

Rent is the part that is so crazy to me, aside from car prices. About 15 years ago I had a studio apartment and for less than $450/mo I covered rent, utilities, and cable / internet. That same place now is over $1000, and that doesn't cover utilities or cable or internet.

Nah my car notes have been that low for 15 years.

They do have more affordable vehicles out there. You can go to auto trader and set the payment and find vehicles. Could prob get like a 21 or 22 Corolla. Not flashy, but will get her to where she needs to go.

Can you link me to where we settled on a part time worker makes $70k? She grumbled a lot but provided precious little information aboot any actual facts. She wanted to establish that she is some kind of victim.

Our society has made it clear that victims get paid, and get love. Surely this will dig her out of her bad decisions, and part time work schedule.

She is making nearly $70K per year. That is not living lavishly but by any means should she be scraping by. Promise you she had made some piss poor financial decisions.


Exactly! So we are supposed to feel sorry for someone who doesn't know how to manage thier money?

Of course it is everyone elses fault she can't pay her bills. Typical, Everyone that is a non white male is a victim.

My wife's boss makes way more than 34 and has a daughter that lives with her pitching in. She complains about having trouble paying her bills, talking about barely keeping the lights on. Yet takes expensive trips all the time, eats out all the time and will not downsize from her big home or expensive car. I have no sympathy for her.
