Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I think the saying is to save 6 months of expenditures. Eg. saving 6 months of rent and bills (which I would hope is less than 6 months of salary)

For lots of people it's more than a month's worth if salary.

It like the difference between my sister's salary and mine. She earns 6k a month, I earn 1k a month working for minimum wage. And she wants me to move out in 5 months. She's cra cra

Fuck, that’s my now-ex, and me right now. I’m officially less than a week from homelessness because of his choice to end the lease and move (separating from me in the process, despite claiming to still want to be in a relationship. Yeah, okay? Like anyone who loves another person could do this to them.) He seemed to think that giving me months to prepare would somehow make me able to pull magic money out of my ass? I don’t know. Even the cheapest studio apartment is out of range for me, and I make nearly $10 over local minimum wage at a full-time job. How the fuck is ANYONE getting by?!

Anyway, I’m pissed and now I’m ranting, sitting in my cold car, knowing this will be the warmest place for me in the very near future.

It was like that with my ex husband. When we split he got the apartment, because he could afford it. And I moved in with my sister because I thought she had a room for me. She told plenty of times while I lived with my ex I could leave and move in. She's been pressuring me to move out even though I can't financially afford to. So I understand as a couch surfing himbo at 25. Its just shocking that we are witnessing a generation that earns more than their parents but can't get as far with it. Hope your situation improves boo 💖

When people live paycheck to paycheck it is the same amount.

Yes, it is, lol:

Start by saving $1,000, then aim to save 3 to 6 months' worth of essential expenses by funding your emergency savings, as you would for a bill.
