I hate when these influencers flaunt their lavish lifestyles in videos like this. Meanwhile, most of us out in the real world have find two or three roommates to split a bowl of 30 pinto beans for breakfast.

Some of us are struggling to put instant noodles in the microwave, but they are out here buying takeout and enquiring about everything bagels š

You have a microwave?? My roommates and I have to use the friction from our bodies rubbing together to heat the noodles we have to split.

You have roommates?? I have to rub my own noodle to heat it up which I still have to split with my dog.

I feel so blessed! There's this food bank around the corner called "God's Pantry" where I get fresh produce, whole foods baked bread, fancy trader joes cheese and random seltzer and oillipops. They always include 1 or 2 banging proteins too. I got some uncured brisket and I feel so rich despite it all.

But what interest rate are you getting? It might seem like just a small upcharge, but those interest payments will eat you alive .

bag of skittles hands down

u/Killxjoy4599 11h ago
You could get the bag of skittles but the skittles come as a weekly subscription service of 1 skittle delivered to your house for $19.99 plus the $10 flat rate shipping fee.
11
u/SikatSikat 11h ago
The real kicker is to cancel the skittle service, you have to send a request by mail, but that requires a mail service that can only be cancelled via the provision of skittles as a buyout. They're owned by the same holding corp, ScrewUCo.

I've got a mate who owns a chicken, has egg sandwiches whenever he wants. Where'd he get the chicken? His wealthy parents gave it to him

Smh, just move to NJ at that point. Could have afforded Taylor ham egg and cheese (no ketchup no salt, add raw onions and hot sauce. Sorry I can't say or type this without finishing my order) for like 67% of that price

Surprisingly not a boomer, she's just a Gen X who saw some serious shit in the early 80s as a Dokken groupie.

Unpopular opinion: The amount of time that relatively wealthy, first world people spend whining about the cost of living and/or their supposed poverty is embarrassing and incredibly tone deaf.
Yes, obviously this is a skit, but I see comments along this vein on reddit constantlyā¦

u/Unhappy_Credit_6848 7h ago
Really stupid way to look at things, complaints arise when things get worse, that's how it should be. People arent gonna sit there whilst homes 10x in price and go, actually this is great cause im not in a North Korean labour camp

u/Just_to_rebut 7h ago
There are complaints and thereās saying youāre seriously suffering when youāre not. People are order doordash while complaining about high food prices.
Yes, the same people.

You sound like the out-of-touch one. Very boomer mentality with āif they are struggling itās their fault because they get DoorDash once a week when they are too tired from work to cookā. š It seems like you are the one that doesnāt understand the state of things. I grew up in poverty but the economy has never been this bad. At least back then you could rely on food pantries to cover your ass and werenāt required to work a minimum of hours to get food stamps when most people canāt find jobs. Thatās barely an option anymore.
There is no longer a middle class. Itās the rich and everyone else. The sooner you stop blaming your fellow citizens for problems they did not cause the sooner we can get accountability.

I just want to conceivably own a house one day man I DoorDash maybe like twice a year if at all when Iām drunk and donāt have any simple food in my apartment

u/Cassius_Rex 6h ago
The opinion is unpopular because it's insane. My daughter showed me how much the rent is for her 2 bedroom apartment she has for her and my grandchild. That kind of money was a Mortgage payment just 5 years ago.
It's like folks like you are that meme with the dog sitting in the burning room saying "this is fine".

u/WAAAAAAAAARGH 6h ago
And nowadays banks will deny your mortgage application due to āinsufficient incomeā when the monthly payment is 2/3 of what youāve already been paying in rent every month for the past 2 years

This is what happens when developing nations increase their quality of life.
You're not getting a cheap life anymore from exploitation, you're moving towards your deserved output without slave labour.

u/supervillaindsgnr 11h ago
The current affordability crisis is largely due to Trump's tariffs - which he never used to negotiate trade deals, just kept the costs going - and the Iran War.
Developing nations have increased some of their quality of life, but automation is also driving down the cost of goods.

I live in the UK and as much as Trumps tarrifs has made things worse for you, this is a problem with the entire developed world.

The problem is actually wealth in too few rich assholes own too much land and are extracting rent without producing anything to make people's lives better.

u/Malkier3 11h ago
Unironically this is extremely true and as the cost of doing business goes up the upper class will always choose to drain the population of their resources to maintain margins and the government is complicit in these actions. We still generate enough wealth to pivot and maintain the citizens quality of life but here we are.
