    Bro I don’t buy anything. Most people don’t buy anything. They live paycheck to paycheck just covering the basics. The little I spend on not being miserable wouldn’t be even 1% enough to save to retire at 35. The only way for me to cut costs is to start squatting? Steal food from the supermarket? Idk. In Minecraft ofc.

      I assume you’re in the USA? Can imagine it to be a lot harder there than elsewhere. Here you wouldn’t even need to work at all, as long as you’re ok with the very bare mininum like rent and food and stuff. A reason why we’re drowning in refugees. The more kids the merrier. Or work some hours a week and earn a lil extra with tons of spare time left.

      How one could do this in the US on minimum, i can’t even imagjne. Sorry bro. But we all will catch up with your dystopia sooner or later…

        Man if you think the US is the hardest place to live, you truly are drowning in privilege. No offence.

        And I hope you do realise that the benefits and ease you have to live life are the direct fruits of the overexploitation of the global south by your government.
