Life is so hard.
1. I already subscribe to Netflix, Disney, and Hulu. Can I afford to add Paramount+?
2. I get my Venti Matcha Crème Frappuccino every morning, but I really want to move up to Super Venti Flat White. Can I afford it?
3. My 2025 iPhone 16 Pro is getting long in the tooth. Can I afford to upgrade to a 2026 iPhone 17 Pro Max?
4. I really want to get Celine Triomphe 52mm Oval Sunglasses at $510, but I can only afford Bottega Veneta Aviator-Style Gold-Tone Sunglasses at $440. What should I do?

Yep...nothing like retail therapy to help alleviate my financial concerns.
The 24 year old behind me just moved out of her parents and into her first apartment. She pointed out to me that she is now bringing coffee from home in a thermos type container.
I have been giving her grief for spending X amount every week at Starbucks for her multiple coffee drinks.
She also started making a lunch.

Things get bad enough those young people are gonna turn your medicare off and many of us int he middle aren’t gonna fight them
I don’t know about anyone else, but my whole life is existentializing right in front of my very eyes.
