Beans and rice are a cheap way to eat but people shouldn’t have to live on that…especially with a college degree.

The list doesn’t include utilities, phone, basic household supplies, nor any sort of healthcare/medicines (USA! USA!). You also didn’t take out health insurance from the checks. A few years ago I was making about 55k and my biweekly checks were a lot closer to $1300 than $1840.

Yeah, the comment you’re responding to is dumb. What about savings? Transportation? How are they supposed to afford cookware and other kitchen appliances since they have just graduated and probably have very few possessions? It’s silly.

The student loans do seem high though!

Not to mention the cost of having a hobby that makes life worth living. Wage slaving is not a good way to live

Kids just don’t want work 69 hours per week anymore.

Why is everybody so lazy?

Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you’re not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn’t for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren’t into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I’m Sadboi extraordinaire we’ll see when that will be.
