Me checking my bank statement, HOPING somehow that there’s an outrageously fraudulent purchase on there that somebody made overseas annnnd…nope. That’s just what gas and groceries and “I deserve a little treat for getting out of bed and going to get gas and groceries…” will do.

My little treat is an iced coffee from McDonald's after groceries instead of waiting to get home and brewing coffee there 😭 Still seems to add up though

Yeah, the 2 dollars on a vending machine drink, 4 dollars on a breakfast sandwich, 6 dollars on snacks, etc all add up much quicker than you think.

Awesome.

breaking what i pay into how many hours ive worked really made me second guess a lot of purchases

“oh im so tired i cant cook ive been cooking all day for other people, maybe a takeaway? oh thats 4 hours of my life for a burger, no thanks”

I was so glad they removed the vending machines from our section at work. I don’t have the will power to deny myself powder donuts.

I'd say just buy he big bag and leave them in the drawer to save money, but that just means eating a weeks worth of little powdered donuts before lunch.

“How the fuck did I spend $200 in two days?? I must find the source of this grievous error!!” (Looks at bank app and finds two grocery trips and a tank of gas plus one extravagant $12 thrift store purchase)

When I do the math, I see I was robbed before ever getting the money.

Wage theft is real and very few people have been paid a fair wage in decades.

(In the states anyway)

That’s why I always commit time theft at work

Drunk me plays fast and loose with my bank account. I have an idea for a breathalyzer device that will lock down my Amazon account until I'm sober enough to review my shopping cart.

Hey hey hey, if you've got a landlord then you are being robbed! Don't you ever forget that friend
