Yeah, you save $100 this month, then maybe the next, then your car breaks down, or you have to go to the doctor or whatever the fuck expensive thing that comes up and you're wiped out again. Not that $1200 a year is going to do jack shit for you anyway as far as retirement goes.
With that amount you're not saving enough to do anything beyond short term emergencies and a lot of people are lucky to even get that far. It doesn't secure you any kind of future after you're too old/sick to work anymore.
Wtf else would you have been talking about? People are unhappy because your fucking stupid message ignores a shitload of reality. Not everyone has an income that even meets their cost of living, let alone save or plan anything for the future and you come on here calling them turds and lecture them about feeling hopless? Fuck you.
Yes, run and hide. That'll show us nihilists. (Except I'm an absurdist)
