God, I hate the taste of that drink

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 14 points 2 weeks ago

It should be illegal if you ask me, at least past a certain amount

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'd like to be the one preparing that drink for once. Do nothing and get paid sounds great.

  • high interest mortgage
  • medical debt
  • childcare costs
  • cost-of-living increases

yeah, ain't no way I'm working for 30 years. I don't know what I'll do but it's not working.

~~30~~ yeah try 50, muchacho. or do you live somewhere sane or something?

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, hard pass on that. I think I'd retire early and then jump off a bridge once the funds run out.

that's about where I'm at now. take a wild guess why American capitalists are so hung up about increasing birth rates and cutting our health care

Good luck to you

I hope your country provides good social support and/or that your bets and investments come good

Save up your money and then move to a low CoL country that’s friendly to foreigners.

Oh yeah, I don't plan to spend my savings on 2k rent a month

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You could spend those thirty years italicizing things.

I drink this everyday, but now I feel even more tired and broke

FUD keeps me going.
