Social media is one place where the dumbest people have the loudest voices. I was talking about birthday celebrations with a friend. She was telling like she spent almost Rs. 20,000 ok her 18th birthday celebration for 8 people. I was like, WTF?? She said that it 'just a small event'

I spent only Rs. 2500 for 12 people (we went to Vasanta Bhavan in Chennai) and we were happy. When I told this to her, she looked at me like I am poor.

This unnecessary spending is glorified and called the right way in social media. The younger generation thinks that this is right and the cycle continues and becomes worse.

You would see in these podcasts where people say that this normal and this is how we treat friends. You should realise that people are not rich like everyone. We should respect friends. If friends insist that you spend big when you can't, then they are preying on you

Lmfao.

Less than $30/head. My Burger Brain can't fathom how poor the rest of the world is.

watching 3rd worldies develop the same cultural issues we have is hilarious.

the number of poor people in America that stunt on social media or live well beyond their means to keep up an image is actually wild.

I wholeheartedly agree there. The clout chasing idiots deserve what they get financially.

That said, it still seems rather cheap at less than $30/head for what I assume is food and drink for a birthday get together at a restaurant or similar venue. I can't wrap my head around the difference in what's considered "wealth". I wouldn't bat an eye if I had to pay $230 for a get together for 8 where everything is taken care of for me like a restaurant.

In fact I probably spent about $200 on food and booze for a Super Bowl party for 10 this year, where I did all the prep and cooking, and didn't blink at that price at all.

It America's real dominant weapon. China can try to psyop tiktok the kids into being drooling r-slurs all they want - it'll just come back around to them stronger like obesity and cigarettes.

In South Korea, I passed a Baskin-Robbins that was selling 5 scoop cup of ice cream for essentially $5 USD.

My inner Burger wanted to kick in that door and get that deal.

Apparently you were supposed to share it with friends and try out different flavors.
