How did people not lose money during the pandemic, besides being stupid rich? The one piddly payment and unemployment I got from being laid off was way less than my normal earnings, so the cost to survive had to eat into savings and go onto credit cards. I still haven’t recovered.
HOLD THE FUCK ON.
“Pandemic Savings”
That is a hell of a fuckin way to say “Profiteering”
Hold up. Top 20% in US is only about $130k. Fairly easy for a dual income house to make.
Not exactly the sort of people who are profiteering off others.
“Just spend less than you earn” fucking genius lol
Why hadn’t anyone thought of that before?
Only rich people should have kids, only white people are rich, no I am not a eugenicist why do you ask
Spending less than you earn isn’t a realistic prospect for A LOT of people. In many areas the cost of living has increased so dramatically that even those pinching pennies, eating simple cheap meals like chicken and rice every night are feeling it. The inflation numbers being distributed by the government are at this point, a straight up fabrication, with no relation to how the economy is actually functioning. In terms of actual costs real people are paying, things have doubled or tripled in cost across the board since 2020 at the grocery store, not to mention how outrageous rent has become. Unless you are also doubling or tripling your income every few years, it’s easy to see where all that money is going.
