Sup /adv/.
I'm 34 years old. My salary is that if I cut out breakfast and spend 4$ on lunch and dinner and don't use soap I'd probably be able to save $145 every month payment of bills included.
How fucked am I in the long term?

You're fine if living check to check and never having money for a new car, house or medical treatment is okay with you.
Otherwise, get a second job, a new job or work some overtime. Or rob a liquor store.

What about being a drug mule? I heard some people make around $20k per delivery.
Not a bad idea. How many condoms of cocaine can you fit in your ass OP?
Another option, is of course, giving head for a nickel behind 7/11. I think your mom gave me change for that quarter last night, should at least have a dime around here somewhere.

What are my chances if I ask for a crust of bread along with that nickel?
>>17349648
Do you swallow?
>>17349648
Why would I waste a good source of calories?

Well shit, I was gonna hold out the bread crust as incentive to swallow, but when you put it like that, I guess I'm doing you a favor nutting in your mouth.
I guess you can have the bread crust, but you'd better finger my prostate while you sucking.

Go get a Pell Grant and take some classes part time and use the rest to buy cocaine.
You're fucked in the long-term, though, unless you change something by either new job or improving your chances to climb the ladder. That $145/mo will be nickles in a couple of years while inflation keeps rising.

This is broadly true except that you don't understand how inflation works. Prices are rising (by a little over 1% so far this year), which is the definition of inflation, and the rate of inflation this year will will probably wind up higher than it was last year, when it was unusually low. But inflation was worse than it is now in 82 of the last 100 years, and is not doing anything resembling going up steadily other in a linear fashion.
>tl;dr--Inflation is not getting worse, but prices are rising a bit
>OP, I hope you can find something more lucrative, because you are not saving much money for the future.

Yep! More than a couple of years, though. Technically. Since we're getting all technical in here.

Sounds like you don't know how inflation works.

Inflation is the sustained increase in prices of goods and services, therefor, inflation is ALWAYS rising unless it's not, then it would be deflation, not inflation.
inflation != rate of inflation, rate of inflation is the measurement of inflation for a given year.
Here anon, understand what you responded to and wrote:

Do you even make sense to yourself when you're off correcting others? You may have gotten a C in macroeconomics kek, but you obviously struggled a bit!
