I already don't eat breakfast and I'm still poor, what now WSJ???

[-] Whaler_Shaver@lemmy.ca 71 points 2 years ago

Economists hate this one SECRET HACK you can do to avoid poordom. Among investmentology specialists it is a well guarded secret that switching to a making money framework instead of the popular losing money framework has a long term net positive effect on your private economy.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Of course, the answer was right in front of me! I just need to pull on those bootstraps harder

My prescriptions cost so much too. Maybe I should just stop taking my antidepressants and see how it rides out. .

Pro-tip: You can save money on living expenses if you just live in a cardboard box by the roadside and die.

[-] ganove@feddit.de 22 points 2 years ago

Please not by the roadside, noone wants to see your progress to absolute freedom.

[-] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

That’s illegal in many places. Illegal to be on a roadside, illegal to kill yourself.

[-] Cybermass@lemmy.world 66 points 2 years ago

Of course this comes from the wall street journal lmao straight propaganda

[-] ComradePorkRoll@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago

I'm not religious, but I do feel like writing something like this is comparable to selling your soul to the devil. The person who wrote this abandoned their humanity for capitalists and they should be ashamed.

Tomorrow's headline, "Millenials are single handedly killing the breakfast industry".

[-] tjaden@lemmy.sdf.org 57 points 2 years ago

The Wall Street Journal is just shitposting for rich people.

[-] stu@lemmy.pit.ninja 55 points 2 years ago

Aside from being tone deaf, I think this is bad advice. Common breakfast foods are fairly cheap comparatively and I'm pretty sure most nutritionists recommend eating something for breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. If I were skipping/reducing a meal, it would be lunch.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Gluconeogenesis does that well enough.

Plenty of people don't eat breakfast. I'll be nauseous for the rest of the day if I have anything before noon.

They act like most of us even have time to make breakfast like we're living in some 90's sitcom

[-] IDontHavePantsOn@lemm.ee 50 points 2 years ago

It's people like you that make me look like an asshole. Every morning I wake up at 3am to squeeze orange juice, make sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles, 5 omelettes, 40 pancakes, 6lbs of bacon, hash browns, buttered toast, and right after my son comes down the stairs, puts his ball cap on, grabs a single piece of bacon, heads out the door in a rush, I chase him down with a PB&J he inevitably always forgets. But it's not like I want to waste 40lbe of food per day. Some days I just want my son to sit down and eat the 40lbs of food I prepared. He may think I'm overbearing but I'm really overcaring.

Maybe the WSJ has a point; we could save a lot of money if we stopped buying breakfast and just ate the WSJ staff instead

If you don't have enough money for bread, buy cake instead!

[-] TwoGems@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago

Maybe we should eat billionaires instead

To save even more money, switch over completely to a diet of things you find on the ground.

To save even more money, stop bathing, showering and brushing your teeth.

To save even more money, stop living in a house and move into the sewers.

To save even more money, stop wearing clothes.

To save even more money, stop communicating with expensive words, settling instead for grunting, growling and maybe barking like a dog. Consider filing your teeth pointy.

To save even more money, stop using tools. Emerge from your sewer hideout only at night to prowl the streets on all fours, feral and bewildered, eyes grown pale and milky from years in the dark sewers darting maniacally back and forth while your filth-encrusted teeth and nails twitch in anticipation of the slightest movement.

This is how I was able to afford a starter house by age 30. This and a $400 000 loan from my father.

frothingfash: "The WEF wants me to own nothing and be happy!"

porky-happy: "You will own nothing and be happy."
