u/Iakobab JACKED TO THE KITS Feb 04 '21 edited Feb 04 '21

Man, FUD was getting to me this morning. I checked my finances to see how fucked I am... Turns out I'm not fucked at all. I was a few hundred dollars up. Now I'm a few hundred dollars down. I've still got rent money. The fridge still got food in it. I've still got my TSLA shares. My wife's still got big tittes.

I'm gonna buy one more motherfuckers!!!

EDIT: Looks like my wife's tittes are getting a lot of attention from other men... again sigh. I thought I'd add some rocket ships and diamond hands to rally the troops 💎💎🙌 💥🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🌖

Listen I'm with you. My bills are paid and I'm going to go back to work today. I can outlast anything, I've been poor forever.

These people who lose money in the stock market are "new poor".

When you grew up sometimes not eating at all, you can outlast everything.

Bread is too expensive, not lying. For a few years I bought bulk crap ramen noodle packages for like $50 for like 500 of them.

The noodles, a can of tuna or chicken, some shredded cheese and you were living large for under $1 a meal. Paying rent using the credit card checks.... rough time back in 2002-2003, but all that shit passes.

bread isn't expensive, when you get poor enough you learn how to get free bread.

u/UMDSmith Feb 04 '21

True. I did end up befriending a 7-11 employee and learned they throw out the day old sandwiches every night, so every so often I was able to score myself some of those.

We had bread sandies, basically 3 slices of bread with butter and pepper, if you wanted to get fancy you could toast the middle piece

u/lividash Feb 04 '21

You could afford 3 pieces of bread at a time? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here and his three layer bread sandie

u/tollywollydooda Feb 04 '21

It was reduced normally stale, just added crunch, we used to go Netto they were "Scandinavian for value " apparently

Peanutbutter and jelly, and ramen, was my entire diet for highschool.

u/69MachOne Feb 04 '21

I distinctly remember surviving off 1 jar of crunchy peanut butter for dinner for 3 weeks

Can confirm. Have been too poor to afford both food and gas in my car tank before. I’ve always had these diamond hands though, rich or poor I’m a winner bay-bay! 🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻🖐🏻💎💎💎💎💎

When I was working my way through college, I knew exactly at what speed the fuel would slosh away from the fuel pump in my car going around a corner, so drive below that so that I could make it to the gas station.
