the advice they give out is patently irrelevant, but they don't care about this fact and they certainly don't care about you personally, to the extent that they would be offended by a suggestion to contribute anything of value to your situation (time, money, raw materials, personal connections, etc.) rather, they just want to live up to social norm of being a "respected elder" or a "fountain of knowledge and experience," which is why they readily dole out retarded advice.

every single time these losers have a pet. Why don't they have a kid at that point.

When you are young you should be focused on getting a romantic partner, or increase your social network.
Why do you hamper yourself down with a pet. A pet forces you to be at home atleast once a day. You can't do spontaneous travels. You literally are responsible for a living being.

Pets are a luxury for middle aged/retired people. Not for out of school people trying to find their footing in life.

Also WHO the fuck pays for these scam streamer services?
They might have 1 or 2 good shows a year, you pirate them like any broke person.

Having a pet instead of a kid is the only financially sound decision this guy made.

I still end up only saving about $200 a month because groceries are expensive as shit despite trying to make one big batch of something like chili every week or so. I'm frustrated because I theoretically should be saving more but everything gets chipped away at. I go out frequently and drink cheap. Still, looking at my statements that accounts for like $90 a month maybe.

Mainly, I think I keep getting invited to weddings and weekend trips. I'm young enough that I want to do these things, but you've gotta fly out to two weddings a year and its $200/ea for the flight plus wedding gift ($100). Chip in for a weekend airbnb and its $100/night.

The main problem here is trying to live alone on a low income like that. He needs to earn more, get a wife who works, or get roommates.

The GFC/Pandemic stimulus were quite emblematic of the general Boomer regard because people got just enough not to be able to complain about not getting help, but not enough to actually make a positive long-term difference, while also putting up a ton of barriers to getting that help. It's the same mindset behind unemployment in most states, where it's a gauntlet to get money that doesn't cover your expenses and you can't go to school, when it's been shown that getting people in paid training is what actually fixes things.
The core issue is that Boomers profit off the status quo, have no savings, and are terrified of anything changing, because they know that without being subsidized by prime-age workers, they end up destitute.

You're dumb as fuck. This is why people buy new cars, they think 180k miles is a crazy amount.

>that car payment
does that get you a lot in the states or are car prices fucked? here in bongland a 350 (roughly 420 dollars) car finance deal with a decent down payment will get you a relatively new and low mileage mercedes, or a giant mum-SUV. I really hope this guy at least has a cool car for thag money, but judging by his face and nose ring he probably had no down payment and is paying that money for a kia hatchback or some shit. or a miata. faggots like him always have miatas and love to talk about it.

This a stupid statement and shows you have little understanding of money. Car payments are based on total price, interest and length of payments. Changing any one of those variables changes the payment significantly.

It is a crazy amount, not everyone has the time to spend a month taking all the parts out and replacing them with new ones. 4chan's fake bravado/tough guy bullshit just demonstrates how many of you are either boomers who wandered in from facebook or neets/underage kids who have never calculated the costs of actually replacing all those parts in some deprecated shitbox and the time cost it would take to learn and fix all the parts yourself vs. merely getting a newer used car (which is still expensive but doesn't require you to do all that shit).

You are literally retarded, your information means nothing in the current modern market where buying a 2020 used car with 90,000 miles for 14k makes a lot more sense than buying a 2010 car with 160,000 miles for 9k.

A civic, or frankly almost any car, will go to 300k miles easily.
>but muh repairs
They're minimal. And realistically many issues can be ignored. The fact is when you're a poorfaggot making $18/hr a 180k mile 2006 civic is the perfect car.
>not everyone has the time to spend a month taking all the parts out and replacing them with new ones

In the states you can buy outright a decent used car for like £1000. Buying a new car is idiotic if you’re in dire straits financially. Buying anything on tick is idiotic.

>renters insurance
Why is he wasting money?

>utilities
Stop paying for heating. Just put a jumper on. I’m sick of saying this a good wool jumper costs like £60/$100 and will leave you feeling warm when everyone else in the room thinks it’s freezing. They’re a great long term investment. For £150ish you could could save thousands long term on heating costs. But the chap in the pic is wearing a polyester/cotton hoodie so he will freeze.

This lol those old Civics with 160k miles still have plenty of life left in them. Parts and repairs are cheaper, even if you have to stick $1k worth of parts into it a year for example, you'd probably be losing about that much or more in depreciation on a newer car. So it may need less repairs, but you're still "spending" more on the newer car. Also like the anon mentioned many of the issues on the older car may not be serious. I got a check engine light on my old shitbox for an evap system leak, been troubleshooting it and not intending to drive on it forever, but it's just an emission system alarm. Especially if you don't live in a commie shithole where you have to pass emission inspections, it's something that has basically no impact on the driveability of the vehicle.

Get roommate(s), get rid of the pet, use savings from the previous two to save for a used shitbox and sell your car with payments or use public transit if you can, get rid of streaming services and Nintendo subscription and pirate everything for a while until you are more financially stable.

Save enough for a couple months of emergency savings in a money market for better interest, then dump the rest of the savings into an S&P 500 etf in a nonretirement account and do your best to never touch it.

Above all else: tirelessly apply for a new job that pays better. Cater your resume to each job. Job market still has a lot of unfilled positions.

It sucks that all of this is necessary, but refusing to make changes and batching about the economy won't fix anything. If you do all of the above and are still unable to save anything then I sympathize, you should move ASAP because you live in hell.
