We don't need, want, or respect your commentary regarding why we're poor. We don't care what you think about how we became poor. We don't don't care what you think we ought to with our resources. We don't care you think we have too many kids. We don't care that get upset that don't tip at restaurants. We don't care that think we shouldn't GO to restaurants.
Guess what? We don't think you should spend your money the way you do either.
My mortgage gets paid, my kids have full bellies, I work 60hrs a week and don't take handouts. We're a single income family by choice. I don't care what you think of that.
Let the fun begin

Why do people need to bring their Bluetooth speakers around with them at an indoor volleyball court? I was at a place with 4 courts and each court had someone with a Bluetooth speaker blasting their shitty music. These same people wear airpods in a store, and blast music in the car even though there's people in it.
It drives me fricking crazy.... I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR MUSIC

Common NYC
That part. $120k is working class.
An entrepreneur weighs in.
For reference, I used to deal drugs and I only made 80k untaxed for a full-time gig. So that's about the same, really. Also you aren't making that selling anything softer than cocaine nowadays. Now I have a real job and I make 32k. Late stage capitalism is definitely working just fine; nothing to worry about or change. All good 👍😊🌞
I don't know what capitalism has to do with making shit money and willingly living in one of the most expensive places in the world, but sure, let's go with that.
As if this poorstrag can afford a place by himself if NYC landlords magically disappeared.
Deeply out-of-touch comment. You have no idea how the average person lives
lol i know how the average person lives. i'm not rich. i grew up in the projects. my point here is all these people including me are fricked.
I know people who's whole plan is being on public assistance. [-38]
I guess this triggered a lot of people seeing their future.

Bartenders & suite attendants at the Sphere are already quitting, due to a lack of tips. Some are averaging less than $40 per shift in the cashless venue.
Sphere charges a 23% service charge for VIP suites but that goes to the venue itself. Guests assume it's an auto-gratuity.

In this thread, OP asks if he is the butthole for excluding a friend, who constantly underdresses and does not own/refuses to purchase a suit, from his weekly dinner gatherings. The issue is that OP and his friends are unable to enter their preferred restaurants when said friend is around, due to dress code entry requirements. OP is in Monaco so this is pretty much universal if you want to go anywhere half decent.
The thread may be a troll post but that's irrelevant because our subject today is the absolute seething in the comments. If you needed a reminder that Redditors are poor and stupid, here you go.

If you can't afford a few hundred dollars for dinner, you should unironically keep yourself safe. More importantly the shitty $200 suit can be used for other occasions, like a fricking job interview, which this broke b-word needs stat.

A lot of the unnecessary products from the grocery store. I used to like to drink Powerade. Welp, price went up 60%. Don't buy those anymore. I would occasionally buy those theater-style boxes of candy. Price went up 50%. Don't buy those anymore. Bags of chips? Could have swore these were $3 a bag, not $5. Cross those off the list.

TL;DR: after struggling with regular jobs my whole life, i found my true calling as an artist. with the advent of AI, i lost it all
I have been drawing for as long as i can remember. As someone who always had problems socializing, drawing was a way for me to connect with other people and a solitary activity i spent a lot of time on.
Ever since 2014 i decided to take art seriously and have been studying from various books and courses, i made many sacrifices and investments throughout these years to develop my skills and hone my craft. I had no doubt about it, art was what i loved to do. Even if i had a obscene ammount of money and had my life all sorted out financially, i wouldn't stop doing it.
I held common occupations before becoming a full time artist on the internet. Worked for 2 years in a warehouse, then another year in sales. I'm not very bright, so my low attention span, anxiety and lack of social skills made these experiences miserable for the most part.
Then the pandemic happened, i was out of a job and had the idea to use my art skills and sell art on the internet. In a few months i grew a following and became a well established NSFW artist on Twitter.
As a brazilian being paid in foreign currency, i was making a good living out of that, enough to pay my bills and help out my family who at the time were also stricken by unemployment.
At first i felt guilty for using my skills to draw porn, but then i came to accept it. If i could choose i'd pick other more meaningful subjects for my art, but porn was what kept food on the table. In the end of the day it was work like any other else, except i was good at it and my skills were appreciated
Then artificial inteligence generated art happened. Suddenly i couldn't trust my future and of the ones i love in the generosity of people who enjoyed NSFW art, as this technlogy evolves so will the tastes of the public. There simply was no use trying to compete with the output of the machine, even more so when it can replicate and plagiarize you without effort.
At this point getting back into the job market in Brazil would be really difficult. The bills kept coming and my family still needed my help, so i took an extreme measure. I sold all i had, gathered all the money i made through the years and emigrated to Europe in search of work.
My thinking was that since i am fluent in the English language, i could likely find a minimum wage job in a more developed country that pays enough for me to provide for myself and send some back home. After some time i got all my documentation and managed to secure a retail job, i have been at it for about a year now.
All the problems i had in my previous jobs returned, but now at an even worse level. My low attention span and anxiety make it so it takes me extremely long to adapt to the simplest tasks, i keep making mistakes and forgetting the simplest things. Add that to the stress of being alone in a foreign country and this job being my only means of survival and you can imagine how my life has been going.
I don't know for how much longer they are going to keep me here. I have no savings nor anywhere to fall back on. I have been giving it my best but it seems it's just not enough in comparison to my peers. At least having a stable job again has given me some time to make personal art on my free time, i have been writing this comic that is an allegory for these last crazy years of my life and my experiences as a third world immigrant.
I probably have ADHD, anxiety or depression but i never really got diagnosed or did therapy. So far i've been just living with it, but i likely should be on antidepressants and other medication to deal with these issues. As a second class citizen in a foreign country, access to these things is pretty difficult.
Lately i have been feeling this deep sadness and restlessness that sleeping won't fix at work. Sometimes i think it would be better if i wasn't here at all, but my family still needs me so i keep going.

Wagie lament
Sounds bad. What the heck happened, champ? I'll break down his wall of text:
Lol unexpected but here goes. I'm management at a business supply store and I make $17/h while working 50-55 hours a week.
He's talking about Staples. When's the last time anyone has stepped in there?
So since I can't afford an obnoxiously small 500sqft 2 bedroom apartment for $1000-$1300/m I spend (usually) just under $1800 for this crack motel that's perpetually moist, loud, and rundown. EXCEPT I live in a college town with no car so our football games are back on so just for yesterday alone I was price gouged $280+ because quote “I can”. So I have recently had about $20 to get me thru the week.
Let me try to understand: this man does not have a car so he would prefer to live in a motel within walking distance. Motel rooms aren't much bigger; seriously I do not understand his logic at all
“Why haven't you used our store share fund?” Probably because they basically told me to go frick myself twice already. What am I gonna do? Find a better paying job? Not around here. Move out of the city? I have no car and refuse to walk on the side of the interstate for miles on end (which I'd assume is illegal anyway and for a brown man in this shit hole of a C*NTtry I'd like to stay away from police) to get to the job that clearly hates the people that work there.
Poor man. Before you chuds get uppity: if you haven't caught on yet, he likes to make excuses for everything so invoking his race card is just eyerolling He's Irish/Mexican by the way
Plus they still WANT not NEED you to make 3 TIMES the rent. THEY ARE EXPECTING PEOPLE WHO MAKE LAWYER MONEY TO WANT TO LIVE THERE.
Forgot about that rule I can sympathize with him here...well, it isn't much of a rule. I wonder if something else is afoot
Again…. I'm not asking for the fricking world, just a tiny butt apartment I could call my “own”. Thanks for coming to my shitty rant lol at least feels good to get it out. I appreciate your time.
Sidenote: “how are you homeless if you're employed?” Was that an actual question? Or a little sass? Because honestly I see it either way lol
No comment. Maybe he wishes he has that Hotwheels money right about now?
More comments
How long has he been in this situation? Not long from what I can tell; the first mention of homelessness was a couple months ago and older posts show pictures from what appears to be a garage. In this post, he is referring to himself and others; I could only find a mention of a future wife a couple years ago, which leads me to believe they moved in together at some point.
On that first mention of homelessness:
Yeah you're fricked. I doubt your income is the issue. Have you ever had a license? Bank account and credit??
These are all good questions
More on the woman:
Did you notice something? He's a huge stoner
Analysis
Moved in with his gf at some point
Is 29 years old and seems predisposed to work wagie jobs (previously at Family Dollar) (more rage ]
Split up a few months ago and moved out
Trying to scrape by, using methods like ordering DoorDash
I think he is on the east coast and the county he lives in starts with a "P". He mentions Wawa in one comment, which appears to be a east coast chain, which leaves only six some states he could be in. Plus, he probably lives near a college. Why can't people redact private information properly?
Not very much is interesting about him in his other posts; just typical reddit-tier opinions.

Jokes aside, I feel like this should be causing drama somewhere but for whatever reason no one ever seems to discuss Historia Civilis's videos despite them usually being pretty high quality.
The mask has been slipping on this commie for a while, but this is basically a public declaration of political allegiance and likely a sign of where the channel will be going from now on.

Does anyone have major spending problems?
I have major issues with addiction and impulsivity in general. Binge eating, binge drinking, self-harm, gambling, and (mostly) past drug addictions. The issue I'm dealing with most right now, or is catching up to me, is spending. I have about $150,000.00 in credit card debt. I'm trying a debt relief program before I have to declare bankruptcy. I also have about $300,000.00 in student loans on top of that.
My need to impress and be liked by other people bleeds into my spending. I leased a BMW. I have a bunch of Louboutins and designer bags. I make good money, but not good enough to spend like this. At this rate I will go bankrupt and never be able to buy a home. I'm 35 and an attorney in an expensive area of the US, for reference.
Any advice on impulsive shopping? Or impulsivity in general? Or can anyone relate? Thanks everyone

700k isn't a lot of money, poorcels
poors once again get owned simply because they seethe over a king wanting to keep a little more of his (modest) income
noooo I cant get a house noooo we need to kill all the landlords what I am going to do if I can't afford rent huh what about that?
