I certainly would if the family wasn’t buying iPhones for everyone and tv subscriptions.

Such a ridiculous argument. My phone is 10 years old iPhone 11 Pro Max. I work in a scientific field and make a reasonable amount of money.

Lol because you have an old iPhone, phones for five people, computers, PlayStations and TV subscriptions aren’t expensive. Great argument 😂

Fuck Boomers. You were born into the single greatest period of prosperity of any generation of any country in the history of the world and spent your entire adult lives pulling up the ladder on everyone who came after you. This revisionist “we are frugal” fantasy is laughable. Your prosperity came from offshoring the great job you enjoyed, killing the great pension you enjoyed and padding your stock portfolio with all the profits you gained from selling out future generations. All while putting the costs of living beyond your means on the national debt that, surprise, you knew you wouldn’t be around to have to pay off.
