I've been wondering this about the normies a lot and of course a video has come out confirming my prejudices. I'm not going to pull a Hasan Piker or anything like that when it comes to social commentary because yes inflation has put everyone in the shit, job prospects are extremely low and insurance costs especially are fucked.
At the same time and of course I have to point out, I've been shocked at how much people are allegedly spending on shit. Skills like cooking drastically cut down on food costs, maybe don't go on the expensive holidays quite as much the moment it's summer and especially if you're a woman don't piss away your money at the hairdressers. I looked at somebody I knew very differently by the way when I found out how much she was spending and women spend a lot, it's insane.
Car insurance is something I've bitched about on a personal level, that's just a blatant rip off so no wonder younger generations are no longer learning how to drive. There are a lot of people though who seem to be trying to larp living the high life beyond their means and it's biting them in the arse and you can tell. Most of these normies as suspected are all one crisis a way from a full breakdown and they're in denial about it, or more annoyingly they jump on the let's blame capitalism bandwagon while they're going out and buying overpriced stanley cups or pickups.
When you do the maths by the way, it's pretty fucking shocking the difference in the cost of living. Yes the countries you'll end up in are poorer, but if you have no problem doing remote work and can escape, I can see exactly why men especially who are capable of it are doing it.
I know a few people just like that younger than me. They will never be able to afford a house, they are so poor, will have roommates forever, blah, blah, blah. Yet they always have expensive coffee drinks, food delivery, every streaming service, etc.
Cooking is something I really started putting effort in to about six months ago. It became fun, and I don't devote a lot of time because I generally prep all my meals on Sunday and store the raw prepped ingredients to be actually cooked on demand. I cook about 80% of my meals and I eat like royalty. Bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee almost every morning. Hot fresh meals every meal, less the occasional sandwich to work. Fine ingredients for everything and I've really been pushing myself to learn more. Once I got into a groove, most of the work is a couple hours every Sunday and 15mins per meal. Not only has my health gone way up (I feel a ton different), but even buying ingredients with zero concern for buying low-cost I still spend less on food. Even something like coffee, I can randomly splurge on a $25 bag of coffee just because I want to, because I still spend less than a couple bucks a cup, good luck doing that at a coffee shop.
As for holidays, I cut my budget on that and started saving the difference. I still do something "nice" every couple years, but the rest of the time I've had nearly as much fun with cheap non-pretentious short trips to do things with friends and family.
It's easy to say "if only you didn't buy that latte" but you're passing over the fact that housing and food costs in general are rising at an insanely high rate. You can only make so many cuts and soon nobody will be able to catch up
You are right and I have debt I’m paying off due to stupid decisions when I was younger. Have a good job but also do surveys on the side to make a little extra and I house sit in the summer so that is some extra cash as well. But I’ve learned the hard way how quickly eating out can add up. Thankfully I do a hybrid at work so I only have to be in the office twice a week so that saves on gas. You are right, there are things that can be done
I'm not going to pull a Hasan Piker or anything like that when it comes to social commentary
Yeah, cause he claims he lives on a basic necessity budget. That guy is the epitome of a grifter and hypocrite. Not to mention he's literally dumb as fuck.

A Porshe Taycan is a basic necessity, chud.
