@UziCryptoo @YourDailyCentss FK ALL THE FILTHY BILLIONAIRES

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

I’LL SAY IT AGAIN:

we should sacrifice 1 billionaire a month until rent is under $800 again

[JoshRincon @RastaCrypt66214]

@UziCryptoo @YourDailyCentss And this is why camper living is so popular now

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

$29 AN HOUR. Single parent. One kid.

$29 x 40 hours = $1,160/week
That's $60,320/year.

Take-home after taxes, a 6% 401(k) and health insurance: roughly $3,550/month.

Now the month:

Rent (2-bedroom): $1,750
Daycare: $1,100
Groceries: $520
Car payment + insurance: $590
Utilities + phone: $310
Gas: $175

That's $4,445.

$895 SHORT. Every single month.

Before diapers. Before school clothes. Before a single doctor visit.

The national 2-bedroom housing wage is $34.73 an hour.

$29 an hour isn't even close.

That's how a full-time worker with a decent wage still ends up on credit cards just to make it to the next paycheck.

It's not a spending problem. It's a math problem.

HR: Congrats, you’re selected. What was your previous salary?

Candidate: $350 per day.

HR: That’s $9,000 a month. Our budget is only $7,500.

Candidate: Sorry, what was the question?

HR: What was your previous salary?

Candidate: Oh sorry, I thought you said calorie. I eat 6,000 a day, I’m bulking. Salary was $5,500 a month. Glad I fall within your budget.

HR: …silence

Candidate: I’ll be expecting the $7,500 offer letter then.

@UziCryptoo Lmfao

Today I opened the chipotle app, loaded a tasty burrito into my cart, saw that it was $20.80 before tax/delivery/tip, and closed the app. Chose leftovers instead. I’ve seen enough to call it: we’re in a recession.

If you think $20 for fast food is normal, you’re part of the problem.

[Your Daily Cents @YourDailyCentss]

People love saying, “Just get a job.”

Okay.

You land a full-time position paying $20 an hour.

That’s about $3,450 a month after a typical work schedule, and roughly $2,950 in your pocket after taxes.

A modest one-bedroom apartment costs around $1,900.

Now add utilities, groceries, transportation, insurance, your phone bill, and any unexpected expense.

Suddenly, you’re not building a future you’re trying to make it to the next payday.

When basic living expenses consume almost everything you earn, that’s not a budgeting failure.

It’s an affordability problem.

@UziCryptoo @YourDailyCentss The airline could put the whole family together in the very back row. I bet nobody from back there would complain about being moved forward!

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

Flight Attendant: “Sir, I’m sorry, but you’ll need to move to 34B. We need your seat for a family.”

Passenger: “I’m in 2A.”

Flight Attendant: “Yes, I understand.”

Passenger: “I paid extra for 2A.”

Flight Attendant: “I understand that too, but the family needs to sit together.”

Passenger: “And when exactly did I agree to separate myself from my seat so they could sit together?”

Flight Attendant: “You didn’t. But we’re asking you to be accommodating.”

Passenger: “Accommodating?”

@UziCryptoo Boomers bought houses on one income and now lecture two income households about buying too much coffee.

[JoshRincon @RastaCrypt66214]

Boomers bought houses on one income and now lecture two-income households about buying too much coffee.

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

BOOMER MOM: "You kids just don't want to work."

GEN Z: "I work two jobs."

BOOMER MOM: "Then why can't you buy a house?"

GEN Z: "Median home price is $420K."

BOOMER MOM: "Your father and I bought ours at 24."

GEN Z: "For $38,000. On one income."

BOOMER MOM: "Stop making excuses."

GEN Z: "Rent is $2,100. I make $3,400 a month."

BOOMER MOM: "Have you tried skipping the avocado toast?"

GEN Z: "I haven't bought avocado toast since 2019."

BOOMER MOM: "Well, we sacrificed."

GEN Z: "You sacrificed a house for $38K"

BOOMER MOM: "Nobody handed us anything."

GEN Z: "Mom. Dad's pension paid for your cruise."

The average first-time homebuyer is now 38.

Minimum wage hasn't moved since 2009.
But sure.

We're just lazy.

[JoshRincon @RastaCrypt66214]

@UziCryptoo Valid opinion imo

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

Just an opinion but:

I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE FLIPPING BURGERS, I DONT CARE IF YOU'RE FIXING CARS, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE PICKING UP TRASH... IF YOU WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK DOING ANYTHING THATS CONSUMING YOUR TIME FOR MONEY YOU DESERVE TO BE PAID A LIVABLE WAGE.

You're a human being and your time is valuable regardless of what you're doing to make endsmeat. Personally I dont even know why this has to be a serious topic of discussion...lt just shows you how little people actually care about others.

[Your Daily Cents @YourDailyCentss]

For years, Boomers have assumed their retirement plan was simple: sell their overpriced house to a Millennial or Gen Z buyer.

The only problem? The next generation doesn’t have $1.6 million to spend on a starter home.

I can’t wait to see what happens when reality finally catches up.

[JoshRincon @RastaCrypt66214]

@UziCryptoo @YourDailyCentss They’ve been taking money out of our paychecks for decades, and now they’re telling younger generations there might not be enough left for us. How is that not insane?

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME LIKE I’M IN KINDERGARTEN

if social security goes into insolvency by 2032 what tf happens to all the money that’s been taken out of my check for the past decade????

[JoshRincon @RastaCrypt66214]

@UziCryptoo @YourDailyCentss I can see that divide the middle and conquer the poor is going splendidly

[Uzi @UziCryptoo]

Prices in America are getting absolutely RIDICULOUS.

$15 for a Big Mac meal at McDonald's

Over $4 a gallon for gas

$12 for a movie ticket at AMC

$6 for a latte at Starbucks

$15 for a burrito bowl with guac at Chipotle

$25 for a 15-minute Uber ride

$300 for a week's worth of groceries at Walmart

$150 a night for a basic Holiday Inn

$2,200 rent for a 800 sq ft studio apartment

You shouldn't need a six-figure income just to afford an average American lifestyle.
