All the loud, tasteless shit basically.

Starbucks is a big one.

I would bring a mini kettle and some grounds to the library when i was in college but I would see the same basic asian/white girls going to starbucks maybe 3 times over the course of an 8-10 hours study session.

Imagine spending $20 a day on coffee just because the $2 takeout joint isn't hip and bringing your own from home is 'lame'.

what really gets overlooked though is all the little things they buy to momentarily enter the realm of the wealthy e.g. 5 dollar coffees, taxis, takeaways

Also - $3 coffee is really reaching to make your point because everyone knows these bitches spend $4-5 dollars on them, and not just on the days they work. Also, they don't just get coffee, they'll get a pastry or some other overpriced bullshit. They'll have 18 different cell phone cases. They'll have an accessory attachment for each of them. They'll have a stick to hold their phone with, they'll have ugg boots, they'll have a coach bag, they'll have a fresh dye job every 45 days, they'll have their nails done every week or two, they'll eat out 3-5 times a week, they'll buy pre-packaged and sorted shit at the store instead of buying bulk and separating at home, they'll buy a cleaner for every single specific object in the home when a rag would work fine, they'll buy $15 rolls of paper towels instead of re-using a cloth, they'll buy $100 bottles of perfume... is retail frugality a meme? complete fucking retard.

Except it can't, because when you constantly take money from the future to spend in the now you're eventually going to end up in that future without money. That time has arrived. The reckoning is here. Austerity for those who were wasteful, riches for those who saved up wisely. The housing bubble has popped, the retail bubble has popped, the stocks bubble has popped as the central banks stopped buying them in January.

What's next? Massive deflation followed by hyperinflation most likely. Either that or straight to hyperinflation because the ECB and other retards print money in such quantities that it's worthless.

Adds up? Technically, sure. I wouldn't say no to a few hundred USD, who would. But these beans and rice loving, roastie hating incels are totally deluded.

Its not their fault, this attitude and lifestyle is reinforced by their boomer parents. And this isn't a boomer hate post but there is a vested interest on the part of the boomer to validate this lifestyle, otherwise they'll have to come to the conclusion that a large part of their own lives was spent on obtaining resources to buy useless vapid goods that didn't bring them any lasting enjoyment.

That's a pretty tough pill to swallow, especially when you're only a couple years from death. So they double down by living vicariously through their kids. I'm actually really happy (and proud) my mom found that one lady who tells you how to throw your shit away. We should honestly encourage boomers to do that, they need it.
