    The idea that “they’re spending”, means they are doing fine, is kind of stupid.

    I spend everything I make every month. I don’t save. I don’t invest. I spend. All of it. No matter how much I earn, I still have nothing to show for it.

    How the fuck does that mean I’m doing fine?

      Sorry to hear that, and no none us are fine not even the ones saving what we can. Even with two incomes we are drowning and debt collectors are fucking suing for small amounts to. Fucking asrub. And with 3 more years if not more of Trump policies it’s only going get worse.

    So glad I was able to pay off my credit card debt and our vehicles over the last couple years before things went to shit.
