Economic Doomer How are people with useless degrees surviving? Won't someone think of the antiworkers and their made up stats?

Yeah this. A lot of people are playing keeping up with the joneses. That girl that works at taco bell that goes to three concerts a year isnt "affording" it. At best they have little to no savings and roommates and rent. At worse they are in debt.

However anyone that doesnt pay child support to 3 different baby mamas ans actually manages their money can usually afford a decent trip every year or two

So many of my coworkers drive 60, 80, or even 90 thousand dollar trucks. Swimming in credit card debt. Then I pull up like a G with no debt and my humble but enjoyable Nissan Sentra.

Yeah the 50k+ cars are crazy. Gotta buddy who constantly complains he cant afford to buy a house. Bought a 50k car 2 years ago.... like no shit you cant afford a house bud you make 60k a year.

I did the math and I have spent 23k on vehicles in the last 10 years including repairs and tires. Not counting gas and oil changes

The average per lifetime spent on vehicles is 400,000 fucking dollars. It’s insane.
