I laughed way too hard at "Fee Fi Fo Fum fee!"

Well put

And when Trump takes over, you will lose your jobs if you are a Federal employee.

In 1980, the federal deficit was less than a billion dollars. After Reagan's trickle down policy, by the end of his second term, it was over three billion dollars, and it's gone up exponentially ever since.

Overdraft fees are the stupidest thing (well, one of the stupidest).

And, instead of sharing, they want even more. As the French would say " off with their heads!"

I don't mind paying taxes. It's getting my money ripped off by billionaire grifters and corporations that not only don't pay taxes, they get government subsidies, while I drive on pot holed streets.

Is that why we have so many of those "begpackers?"

Right there

Here your income must be three times your rent to qualify. Rents start at $1,000/month. Minimum wage, $15, works out to less than $3,000.

This is just sad.

Never thought of it that way but, by golly, he's right you know.

He is not streaking. Streaking is running with no clothes on. So he shouldn't get any money.

Me at age 33 I don't want to wake up and pay for a place to sleep at. Life is better asleep.

I paid my student loans off after 16 years. But, I have no animosity toward people who had their loans forgiven. People should not have to suffer because they want to better themselves.

Finally, an affordable house!

Thank god they don't do this bullcrap in my country. Yet.

Retirement fund is growing I see

No matter what I get at Walmart, it is always at least $100. I live in a small town, and the only other grocery store within 30 minutes is actually more expensive.

Can still buy a decent used car for that though.

Pay the loan, ditch the crazy fee structure and high interest rate. People who have been making their payments, but now owe more need help. A $30,000 loan that is now$100,000 is NOT the same loan you paid.

Disgusting

Tipping is out of control. I'm sorry, but I'm not tipping you for doing what you already get paid for and aren't doing anything to make my experience better.

Poor, Frodo

I taught my kids about taxes by taking a big bite out of every snack they asked me to open for them. They were still hungry so they had to ask for another snack, from which I took an even bigger bite. (This is sarcasm, BTW).

Except in the US, for-profit prisons make a lot of money for everyone except the taxpayers.

Old fashioned boss. He wants to see his company succeed without huge debt, take care of his employees, and foster a safe, pleasant workplace.

The government doesn't give you a credit score.

Can I have my allowance now?

Trump. I fear what he & his sycophants will do.

When it's world wide no one government can change the course of inflation quickly. They can only try to slow it down.

That's because it's not "inflation." Call it what it is: price gouging.

Not gonna lie, I'm going to have to blame us the electorate for putting up with this nonsense.

In the 1950s, $8000 was a huge amount of money. Like two to four years' salary.

i can cook 5 good meals for that money that will taste good. I cant afford delivery meals.

Gotta get that money to hand to the billionaires that have perfected regulatory capture.

Just turn the radio up louder

actually, it would be London!

Fiat currency, courtesy of the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve lending!

Some people got lucky. A colleague got into BTC back when it was below $400. Didn't buy a lot, but last time I checked he hadn't worked in the last 6 years. No, I didn't listen to him.

Thank god he didnt waste it

I have a spread sheet on my home computer that I keep all of my expenses.

"Annndddd it's gone."

I'm pretty old. I can remember 1968. Gas briefly dropped all the way to $0.23. Most of the time it was more like $0.30. With inflation today those numbers would be $2.09 and 2.72. Which is right about where gas is right now. (That's in Texas. If your gas is a lot higher it's mostly state taxes)

That guy plays soccer? He doesn't look like he could run 1 lap.
