    I’m fully with you. I just want to have a roof over my head, have some time for hobbies, and be able to afford cheese at the supermarket. Alas, apparently we’re asking for too much! How very selfish of us.

      I would also like to add that I earn above a minimum wage. It’s by no means a stellar income, but it’s decent. On top of that, live with my mom, so we split the rent! And somehow I’m here stressing over whether I’ll be able to afford my place of residence a few years from now. This is not okay. I really want there to be some change, but I don’t know what can be done.

          Have you heard of supply and demand?

          This is where your entitlement kicks in. You think that you should magically get access to high-value, low-supply properties before the people living in the areas you deem “not good enough” for you. You already have more than the people living in these areas, yet you think you deserve even more before them.

          Greed. Entitlement. Consumerism. Name three bigger pillars of the modern liberal. (and don’t say empathy, you people care more about your money and social status than actually helping others.)

          And you’re going to get mad at anyone who calls it out.

            Omg wow ty for explaining basic economics to me!! Where ever would a poor little girlie like me be without your words of wisdom! You’re so right tho, I’m soooo entitled!!! Can you IMAGINE wanting a place to sleep and eat?! The fucking audacity of it.

            Great advice btw all the povos struggling to make ends meet should use the savings they don’t have to quit their jobs in the city and move to a “town of 3000” where they can be jobless, without a support network (because poor people famously don’t have dependants and can just fuck off anytime) AND be poor!! Fantastic advice king.

            Also empathy is woke and real men would rather kill themselves than ask for help 🥰 that sound about right to u?
