I wanted to highlight comments but I really have no time at all to do anything

Take a scroll and gawk at the thousands of manchildren gushing at other manchildren and insisting to one another that being older than 25 with a roommate is not only normal, but a necessity

At 21 you can have no college degree, no skills, a ton of debt, and live in a very expensive area, and still be able to move out of your parents house (with roommates) on a retail slave wage.

How a person has not bettered themselves at all by 30 is beyond me. 9 years is plenty of time to move into management without even trying. And that would be if you passed on the million or so other options to move into another field.

This is what I don't understand, if you're living with your parents you likely have: 0 rent, most of your food paid for, and free access to a car. Even on a low wage how have you not saved a shitton of money? What are your expenses?

do you know how much funky pops cost? sorry we aren't all 1%ers like you. :hmph:

I was actually curious and apparently they're only $10 each lol, even a decent hoard of funkopops is only like 1 months rent. They'll need a better excuse than that.

Probably

-uber eats

-eating out

-party every week

-game shit

  • excessove clothes

-expensive shoes

-toys

-way too expensive car with high insurance costs

-online subscribtions that add no value like: betterhelp, calm, tinder plus, twitch subscribtion, nord vpn etc.

  • netflix, disney, prime, hulu

  • 10$ a day weed habit

-smoking

That shit will eat up a paycheck.

And there really are people that pay like 500$ for one piece of designer clothing and constantly buy that shit only to toss it a year later.

I can’t imagine a 26 year old who lives with his parents going out enough that clubbing is it’s own budget item. Buying two $15 cocktails when his tinder date doesn’t show maybe

You're going to have to explain the insurance cost to me, both of my cars that have wildly different values cost the same to insure

Jump in the discussion.

States vary wildly but for a given underwriter, it has a lot to do with their experience with that car and who you are.

Teenage boy with an Impreza WRX? Insurance is expensive because they know you're going to wrap it around a tree.

25 year old girl in a CR-V? That shit will never go above 50 and damages will be minimal when she bumps into another girl in a Rav4 at the Starbucks parking lot.

Technology helps, too. We replaced a 2010 Mercury Milan with a 2022 Ford Bronco. Even though the Bronco is worth 20x as much and weighs more, the insurance is cheaper because it has emergency braking and pedestrian detection while the Milan just had BLIS and a reverse camera.

My insurance is already dirt cheap w/ an ‘06 Pontiac I’m wondering how much it’ll drop when I get a new ‘rolla.

Might go up, might go down -- Pontiacs are driven by a lot of teenagers which makes it higher-risk, but Corollas are a lot more common and more likely to be repaired rather than salvaged.

I hope the new Corollas are a lot better than the 2019 I rented.

Something safer you’d recommend? I refuse to use a gm car ever again after I’ve replaced a bunch of tiny shit every 2 months or so.
