I have a lot of expenses coming up so it’s a beautiful time to remind everyone that for $40 you could be the owner of one of my famous Big Ol’ Cigs and for $0 you could retweet this and help me find someone who’d like to own one
I’m convinced Tom holland has so many haters bc his sheer existence disproves all of the red pill bullshit they peddle. Like yeah, he’s a 5’8 ballerina who got his start on Broadway, speaks openly about addiction and mental health, treats all the women around him respectfully etc
My son works full time here in Florida. Let me run his numbers.
State minimum wage is $14/hour. He's at $15.
40 hours a week = $600/week
That's about $2,600/month before taxes.
Florida has no state income tax the thing they sell you on. So after federal and FICA he takes home roughly $2,200.
Average one-bedroom in our area runs about $1,600.
That's 73% of his entire paycheck gone to rent before he eats a single meal.
Leaves him around $600 a month for:
- groceries
- gas
- car insurance
- health insurance
- phone
- emergencies
- savings
Car insurance alone eats a third of that in this state.
He works 40 hours a week and cannot save a dollar. Not because he's careless because there's nothing left to be careless with.
I spent thirty years paying off a house here. He's doing the same job I did at his age and he can't afford a one-bedroom.
That's not a discipline problem. That's not avocado toast.
The floor moved and nobody lowered the ceiling.
Working full time should cover a roof. In Florida it barely covers the rent on one.
imagine having a bestie that smokes and will go on 20k steps walks with u ughhhhhh . nd we both have carts and we share them too and probably stop by a cafe for an iced americano . Ugh i wish
movie theater tickets being $18-$20 is insane btw. when i was in high school, they’d be $10 on the weekends and $7.50 for a weekday matinee. this is why kids don’t *do* anything anymore.
they’ve been priced out of everything except being at home.
How embarrassing is it to text someone while you are being emotional, only to be ghosted for days.. nothing stings more than realizing your vulnerability was met with indifference..
