Man…I hate everyone in this story.

I refuse to believe that I am loosing this argument.

I will and they will know I am coming for them. This is the same sort of linguistic laziness that led to “donut.” Which makes zero sense as no one is doing anything and it is made out of dough.

Man, when did writing go all nutty and start resembling common speech? What’s next? Dangling participles?

The subculture of the gym rat bro-chewer repurposing their protein powder container as a spittoon should be commended. Re-use is even better than recycling.

Spending on a car that is worth less than the balance halfway through repayment is stupid.

Half pretax?

Where’s TikTok headquartered? 400k can burn really fast in some real estate markets.

I don’t think we are supposed to feel bad for her.  It’s a cautionary tale that we can all apply to our approach to money regardless of our income. 

The buying “hack” of keeping a car for a long time after the finance period works a lot better if you let somebody else eat the first two years of depreciation.
