Anyone else like this? Saving money is easier said than done. I want to try and save money but I just can't.
Get a real job bitch.

Sure thing, let me just pull this new job out of my magical job wizard hat.
Or you could apply elsewhere/ get an education/ meet connections. Retard.

Don't spend money. This is entirely a you problem. Exercise some self control.

This is a good post because it shows how utterly disconnected normalshits/higher paid wagecucks are.
>apply elsewhere
"oh lol stupid me I was working for minimum wage when a job paying $50/hr was just down the street! duh!"
>get an education
"Retard. My parents gave me money to go to school, why don't you just ask yours?"
>meet connections
This is the best one. It's so utterly delusional in its oversimplification that I can't even make it sound more ridiculous because it's already absolutely ludicrous.

>100k in bank account
>spend a few dollars
THE PAIN. I run around in worn out shoes with holes because I'm to afraid of spending money.
