......contributing 10% to what

retirement? lmao

I LIVE IN A TRAILER BECAUSE MY JOB DOESNT PAY ENOUGH TO BUY A HOUSE

yes 10% to retirement

lawl, as the children say. la-mayo, even.

lol sorry 15% to retirement

what savings deborah, groceries are $300 a week

i know i shouldn't be but i'm always just baffled by these things being written by rich people with no concept of money

'try flying your private jet only twice a week'

in my 40s it is recommended I set aside a percentage of every paycheck into a separate vacations savings account so that when I need to take my precious Tykes to the beach I know what my budget should be.

'consider florida' yeah they can play on the leveled houses from two hurricanes

the kids might want to go to Disney World but Disneyland is smaller so it will take less of your time. consider a quick trip to Anaheim instead.

God this is how I feel every time my work holds financial wellness seminars for its employees like. bitch, you're lucky I can set aside 3% of anything towards anything at all. I only started saving for retirement looks at watch like two months ago and frankly I don't think I can sustain it LOL

just. they're all so out of touch with how broke we all are

I am LUCKY that somehow the state of Alabama has a PRISTINE TEACHER'S PENSION That legally is RUN BY MEMBERS and NOT POLITICIANS.

And if weren't for that my retirement savings would be barely a thing.

"save for a house by cutting back on big expenses" "with the rent money I pay???? or ???? my car payment ????"

yeah cut back on rent Chris, this will have no consequences for your daily life

ride the bus! bus systems are always adequate and well funded and not late or absent in any way.

then you can sell that car and pay for .001 percent of your retirement!

the only bus in my town is the campus bus. I would have to walk about a mile along streets with no sidewalks to get to the nearest stop.

there is technically a campus ride system I could call but it is infamously not on time and rides get canceled as you are waiting for them. I hear this from my students all the time.
