If you are a real person with real posts, I'll follow back.

If you are a Chinese honeypot or a sex worker, I won't.

And I don't DM. So, just don't.

@femboytradwife @Serf_InTheCity @WallStreetApes You have no solutions. You have only grievances.

You can pretend I'm not up to date. But I'm the one with the future, and you are the one complaining on your $1400 phone that you can't afford to "live."

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@BigMacAttack41 @MageManX @WallStreetApes Since I was in 8th grade, my 'teachers' have been telling me the National Debt will kill this country.

That was almost 40 years ago.

There's nothing new. You are being manipulated.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@LT_CREAM @WallStreetApes Fuck you, you entitled piece of shit.

I started my "career" at 15 making $4.25 per hour.

My first apartment was with a friend paying $650 per month.

I could afford it because I made the choice to make it happen and made sacrifices in other areas.

Grow up.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

I planned ahead in my life. I made my own fate.

You sit here waiting for someone to hand you what you want on a platter.

I'm going to get what I deserve. Because I made it happen rather than sit online and complain about how everything that happens to me is someone else's fault.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@PhilWhittlesee @chronicparent @WallStreetApes The difference between you and me is, if I need a pillow, I won't ask. Because I am not interested in demanding anything of you. Nor am I going to complain to you about my problems.

Because I'm an adult, and you are a child.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@tylerb677068 @Miabella4u @WallStreetApes "not feasible"

"have to"

No one is forcing you to give your children to strangers. That's a choice you are making.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

I didn't want to think that these kids needed "Internet Dads," but they clearly do.

If they want to bemoan something, it should be that they weren't taught how to take care of themselves by their parents or their high schools.

Home Economics is more than just cooking.

[John Ocasio-Rodham Nolte @NolteNC]

People laugh that I drove to three grocery stores (two in the same parking lot, one across the road) to save maybe $40 reloading on meat, but saving money is all about thinking in terms of years, even decades.

It all adds up, and when you sock away what you saved in an IRA or 401K or CD, it prints free money for you.

Putting a UberEats meal on a credit card charging you 22% is lunacy. You’re lighting money on fire.

Take that money and put it in the market long term. Before you know it, it will double. Just keep on keeping on socking it away. You’ll be amazed how quickly the years pass and how it added up.

Interest can bankrupt you or make you financially secure. Be smart.

@RKerob27907 @WallStreetApes Point me to one case of someone starving because they couldn't afford a phone and food at the same time.

Your argument is stupid, and you are a liar.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

Lived in a house built in 1956 with asbestos siding. Redid the entire interior, landscaping, etc. Resold for 10k+ when the time to move came.

Keep building equity. Keep building the 401k. Live within your means.

These should be no brainers. The entitlement of these people is mindboggling.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@chronicparent @WallStreetApes Your definition of "luxuries" disqualifies yours.

And it makes you a miserable fuck.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@Serf_InTheCity @WallStreetApes "Required."

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@RKerob27907 @WallStreetApes You starving?

Get a grip.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@WallStreetApes NOT TO MENTION...

We grew up in the aftermath of 1970s hyperinflation, with our parents all telling us how candy bars used to only cost 15 cents and gas was 25 cents a gallon.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Which is why your bellyaching is so insufferable.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@WallStreetApes Dude. You guys have to get the fuck off this bullshit.

We didn't have Internet.

We didn't have cell phones.

We didn't have power windows on our cars.

We didn't have Spotify.

We had whatever was free, whatever was cheap.

I'm Gen X, I'll die on this hill. Grow the fuck up.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@DextertheCatX5 @WallStreetApes YES! And the remote control for the TV was...US!

"Hey, kid, go change the channel; All In The Family is coming on."

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@RazorFist Thank God you aren't falling for The Current Thing.

Holy Crap, people have gone insane.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@C_3C_3 No.

The more time they spend in Washington, the more they fuck up or lives.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@BuzzPatterson @sophaller @WNBA Do men really care about women's sports?

Stop giving it oxygen.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@bennyjohnson Women shouldn't be playing sports.

Meh shouldn't be following or talking about it.

[Josh Smith @JoshManOMG]

@jiratickets I don't disagree, but I'm getting a little tired of being shit on just because I don't have kids.

And, no, it was not by choice.
