Funniest thing I've read all year!
Iâm so tired of hearing ďżźâOur grandparents could buy a house on one salary, but now we canât even afford rent on two!â
Yeah, because Grandma wasnât blowinâ half her paycheck on $12 iced coffee and avocado toast, thatâs why!
Back then, if they wanted coffee, they made it at home. With grounds so strong it could remove rust. You didnât drink it⌠you survived it.
And Grandma wasnât out there âbrunchinâ.â You think she had time for brunch? No! She was at home, cooking something called whateverâs left in the house.
And donât even bring up Uber Eats.
These people today are crying about money while living in a 4-bedroom house with two SUVs, six streaming services, and matching sleeve tattoos. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? Yeah it said âKorea, 1951.â And it came with nightmares, not realitic shading.
Oh, donât even get me started on the kids. âWe canât make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!â No, he doesnât! Youâre giving an $1100 phone to a kid who still eats glue and boogers.
When we were kids, the family phone hung on the wall. It had a cord long enough to jump rope with, and if you wanted privacy, you had to go stand in the pantry. And somehow, we survived.
And the TV? There was one. One.
It was in the living room, and Dad controlled it. If he wanted to watch bowling, guess what? You liked bowling.
Now every roomâs got a 65-inch screen, the babyâs got an iPad, and youâre sitting there wondering why you canât afford rent.
Because youâre living like rappers, thatâs why!
Grandpa wasnât out here leasing Teslas and buying $12 smoothies called âDetox Sunrise.â He was driving a truck that sounded like thunder and smelled like oil and cigarettes.
They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpaâs paycheck bought, thatâs what they had. They didnât try to keep up with the Joneses. They were just trying to keep the fed and a roof over their heads.
So yeah, Grandpa could buy a house on one salary. But he also didnât have 47 subscriptions and emotional-support crystals. He had one support system, Grandma, who told him to suck it up and mow the yard.
Now folks are broke, tired, and stressed⌠and itâs not because of inflation⌠itâs because yâall keep ordering tacos from DoorDash like youâre royalty.
Wake up and smell the truth!!
