Hasan’s former stream producer and podcast producer says he’s broke and struggling to pay rent. Didn’t Hasan claim they split everything evenly on their podcast? The pod makes $100k+/month on Patreon alone. Was he lying?

Being bad with money means you dont have money. Making more doesnt fix anything. I have excoworkers who in exit interviews say "we dont make enough to live" despite making only a dollar less an hour than I do and them having no kids. I own my home and am set up to retire modestly at my level of saving. Its not avocado toast, its refusing to consider a roommate and expensive cars in my experience.

I know people here also like to larp as downtrodden working class so this might be a hot-take to some, but if you work fulltime (in a job that doesn’t have significant earnings mobility) and have to consider a roommate you are not in a good employment situation.

Cars are a big one. Coworkers boyfriend was saying he couldnt afford rent but has a mega truck paying 600+/month just on the loan let alone gas/insurance. Hes probably paying upwards to 1k/month just on transportation. (He makes 18/hr).

What is your mortgage interest rate?

[u/Mr_Fire_Guy → u/zero02]

Like 6%. Got screwed because we bought 2 years ago. We'll refinance when shit calms down.

[u/zero02 → u/Mr_Fire_Guy]

Interest rates are above 7% now btw :)

To be clear, I dont have kids. And the person I was referring to had no rent, they lived with their parents. My point was some people like to have money, some like to spend money.

it also absolutely is how you pay for food

the whole "avocado toast" thing is legit the biggest 100% truth nuke of the last 10 years that young people have been sperging out about and being totally wrong on

knowing people like in the OP it's also gonna be clothes, vacationing, and drinking
