Hi White Anon,

This is the new Head of Diversity and Inclusion here! Today, we came to the difficult decision to lay you off("FIRE YOU"), because our diversity constant was too high

You are now replaced by a black queer lesbian trans womyn, who will get 2x your pay and help bringing this company forward

As a token of gratitude, enjoy the 14 day of severance we offer you and sign this 31 page NDA

Have a great day!

Most people don't think much about how rent/mortgage, car insurance, health benefits, cell phone, internet, a 401k match and/or investment account, food, utilities, and misc. expenses eat away at their income until they are in the thick of it, or they never realize because they made it.

I count about 10k per year on what you listed *not* including a mortgage which is money you're putting towards equity in a property you will eventually own.

I'm 26 with $2700 in savings $24 in my checking account and $386 in credit card debt. I can save about $1200 a month if I don't waste my mkney. But I waste my money every fucking time. I also have 7 Bitcoins in a wallet I forgot how to get into because all the data was saved on a .txt notepad file on my mom's computer in 2011.. which she threw away..

Not everyone has paid off their mortgage before 30 anon. Unless you are fortunate and live with your parents you are likely paying rent. Not everyone is free from health issues either. A lot of people carry debt. A lot of people have student loans. You are presenting examples of frugality to extremes if you think most people are able to live on $30 a week in food.

Neither do I. Especially if all women are indeed whores. It's best to simply accept this regrettable fact of nature, let 3d women go, and treasure something more divine such as 2d waifus instead. Which will, in turn, also let you appreciate a more wonderful contrast in regards to the utmost beatitude and heavenly splendour that is inherent to 2d.
