i’ve been walking everywhere, never eating out, never going to the movies, never going to theme parks, never taken a vacation, never buying new electronics, for my entire adulthood. my laptops have all been hand-me-downs and i’ve owned literally 3 smartphones in 20 years, all ultra-budget models, two of which were hand-me-downs. i’ve never not had roommates, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 people to the cheapest fleabag slumlord ass apartment we could find. and i’m still in the fucking red.
you didn’t discover some “trick” your privileged ass got fucking lucky. own it.

The extent of my luck is having a job most of the time. Had a few shitty irregular employment roles but otherwise I saved most of it in a retail role.
