@TrpstrLeonOG Inflation is the real tax nobody voted for, and it’s hitting desk lunches harder than any capital gains hike.

You hear the microwave beep in the kitchen at 3 AM meanwhile you are the only one at home at the moment. 😭💔

I know arsenal has atleast 3 titles that were unlawfully snatched from them

The Etihad is on fire right now🤔🤔

@TrpstrLeonOG All those extra fees exist because of endless government regulations and liability laws.

Cut the red tape, end the bureaucratic admin fees, and housing becomes affordable.

Big government is the real reason moving costs a full paycheck.

My friend got offered a job paying $24 an hour.

Sounds decent.

Full-time gross pay: about $4,160/month.

After taxes and deductions: roughly $3,320.

Rent: $1,480
Car payment: $410
Insurance: $215
Gas: $180
Groceries: $420
Utilities + phone: $240
Student loan: $265
Left: $110.
That's before clothes.
Before medicine.
Before his car needs a tire.
Before he does literally anything enjoyable.
$24 an hour somehow sounds like adult money right up until adulthood sends the invoices.

I checked the math twice because $110 felt like a typo.

It wasn't.

My cousin found a $1,650 apartment.

She makes $4,300 a month before tax.

The apartment wanted:

First month's rent: $1,650
Security deposit: $1,650
Application fee: $75
Admin fee: $250
Move-in fee: $300
Pet deposit: $400
Total before getting the keys:
$4,325.
One entire gross monthly paycheck.
And she still had to pay rent at her old apartment for 12 overlapping days.
People love saying “just move somewhere cheaper.”

Apparently moving somewhere cheaper requires already having enough money to afford being poor twice.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My cousin got a 4% raise this year.

He was actually happy about it.

Salary went from $61,500 to $63,960.

Then his apartment renewed.

Rent went from $1,720 to $1,865.

That's $1,740 more a year.

His health insurance contribution increased by $38 a month.

Another $456.

So his $2,460 raise became $264 before taxes.

His boss called it “recognition for outstanding performance.”

His landlord apparently performed better.

OMG what a flip!!!

The eggs 🥚 process until get out from the hen 😋 a good lesson to me .

I almost booked a hotel for $189 a night.

Three nights: $567.

Then checkout loaded.

Destination fee: $135.

Parking: $174.

Taxes: $112.

Total: $988.

The destination fee included:

Wi-Fi.

Gym access.

And two bottles of water per day.

I somehow bought a $567 hotel room and $421 worth of being allowed to use the hotel.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My friend pays $92 a month for his gym.

He asked if there was a cheaper membership.

“No.”

So he said he wanted to cancel.

Suddenly there was a retention offer.

$54 a month.

Same gym.

Same equipment.

Same hours.

Nothing about the service became $38 cheaper.

He just had to threaten to stop buying it.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

I called my internet company because my bill went from $65 to $91.

They said my promotional rate expired.

I asked what the cheapest plan was.

$85.

I said I’d switch providers.

Five minutes later:

Free router.

Price locked for 12 months.

Customer loyalty is apparently worth $26 less than customer departure.

$59.

Faster speed.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My friend financed a couch.

$2,400.

“0% interest for 24 months.”

Sounded fine.

He missed the payoff date by one month.

The balance left was $118.

Then the statement arrived.

$624 in deferred interest.

He didn’t pay interest on the $118 he still owed.

He paid interest on the $2,400 he thought he had already finished paying for.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

A coworker asked if he could work from home during a two-week office renovation.

Management said no.

“Company policy.”

So they rented temporary coworking space.

$68 per desk per day.

12 employees.

10 workdays.

$8,160.

Apparently working from somewhere else was impossible until somewhere else started charging rent.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My credit card offered me 5% cash back on groceries.

I used it for groceries all month.

Spent about $640.

Cash back: $32.

Then I noticed the annual fee had increased from $95 to $150.

I need to spend another $1,100 on “rewards” just to earn back the increase in the fee for earning rewards.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My neighbor wanted to refinance his car.

Current payment: $612.

The bank offered:

$489.

He was thrilled.

Then he checked the terms.

Current loan: 31 months left.

New loan: 60 months.

$123 less every month.

About $10,400 more payments in total.

The payment got cheaper because they sold him 29 extra payments.

[Leon @TrpstrLeonOG]

My coworker finally bought a house last year.

$412,000.

He saved for the down payment for almost 7 years.

Last month his property tax bill arrived.

Up $2,180.

Then his homeowners insurance renewed.

Up another $1,460 a year.

His mortgage didn't change.

His house didn't get bigger.

His salary went up 2.5%.

But somehow owning the exact same house now costs him another $303 every month.

He spent 7 years trying to escape rising rent.

Apparently he just unlocked the premium version of it.
