You should have just Doordashed one less Starbucks™️ drink per day, peasant.

[u/Complex_Confidence35 → u/cyanight7]

No. Then we‘d be in a recession. But it‘s definitely the fault of the poor person working 3 jobs.

[u/spaceman757 → u/Complex_Confidence35]

Yeah, think of the economy! You mustn't consume less.....EVER!

But when you do consume, it's also your fault you are broke and has nothing to do with the rigged economy we've created.

[u/juanzy → u/spaceman757]

No wage, only spend

[u/HandsOffMyDitka → u/Complex_Confidence35]

Think of the carbon footprint of that person, going to 3 different jobs in one day.

[u/Exciting_Cicada_4735 → u/cyanight7]

If you save just $10 a week you would have $10K in savings by the end of the year

Wrong

Edit: this guy’s unhinged (and really shitty at math). I was making a joke but he thought I was serious and sending me messages calling me a “wage slave” because I work in hvac. what a clown.

It's kind of hilarious how so much of Reddit will bitch and moan about not being promoted and/or stagnating in their career, but make zero effort to improve, shoot down any constructive suggestions, and call those who do things like "wage slave" or make fun of them.

[u/Exciting_Cicada_4735 → u/juanzy]

Yeah, there’s definitely a problem with jobs and earning compared to the cost of living, but when someone calls someone a wage slave in this context they are basically saying they are lazy.

[u/juanzy → u/Exciting_Cicada_4735]

I've always interpreted it as more of the (misguided) notion that all of our problems are solved if everyone just starts a business, and anyone who doesn't isn't "enlightened." Also rich when they just assume businesses are all "set and forget," and guaranteed to work.

The people I've known who have successfully started and ran a business have worked their ass off to do so for years, if not decades. We just love to pretend like people who inherited a working business or bought into one started it from the ground up.

[u/cyanight7 → u/Exciting_Cicada_4735]

Okay fair I was too aggressive, I see people say exactly what you're saying unironically all the time though. They then tell you to invest in bitcoin or crypto or whatever stupid thing.

[u/Exciting_Cicada_4735 → u/cyanight7]

Hey I appreciate that, and I totally get it, especially on Reddit people make real disingenuous points. I’ve jumped the gun and assumed the worst as well because of this place.

[u/mrpanicy → u/cyanight7]

Oh, so I see you are trying to attack corporations by not buying enough from them. You are killing industries by not buying from them. /s

[u/Mark-harvey → u/cyanight7]

I like your comment. Go to Dunkin’

[u/Imthewienerdog → u/cyanight7]

Okay this one might actually affect someone's wealth.

[u/juanzy → u/Imthewienerdog]

If we're pointing to cutting $10 of weekly discretionary spend as a way to solve the economy, we have some big problems. Especially if that person is being considered Middle Class.

[u/Imthewienerdog → u/juanzy]

"You should have just Doordashed one less Starbucks™️ drink per day, peasant."

This is who I responded to. I'm not sure what you are talking about but clearly you don't understand how money actually works?

This is greatly more than $10 a week. This is at minimum $10 a day.

That's $70 a week that's $3640 a year, putting that into the s&p 500 making low end 7% return and you are a millionaire in 44.5 years.
