    I paid all my bills this week and only had $500 left over for 2 weeks for a family of 4 lol idk how we will make it without using a credit card since food will cost us more than that. I make a very high salary too. We were comfortable for so long then the prices just got insane. We have cut back a lot too but can’t escape this pay check to pay check cycle. I feel trapped now

    Barring the specific mention of Milennials, it’s kind of funny that this is probably the most common headline in history.

    Like you can look at Ben Franklins newspaper from 1742 and find essentially the exact same line. I’m guessing if we had enough cuneiform to translate it’d be there too
