In light of what I did during my twenties, I just want to smack the spoiled brats. Two jobs, school, and ramen were my life.

“I’m sort of a foodie, and I’m not going to do the ‘living off ramen’ thing,”

...then starve, loser. Or go with basics like beans, rice, and potatoes.

(I'm referring to the quoted speaker, not you, grimalkin.)

same here. 2 jobs... Kraft macaroni and cheese and canned green beans (generic) every night of the week except weekends, when I allowed myself to grill hamburger. this was my way of life and I didn’t think to go on the dole.

Powered off-brand Mac-n-cheese here. During college, it was all I could afford.

When I had a few extra dollars, I’d add canned chili to the mix and have “gourmet chilimac”

This is the New Normal, people. No disincentive to get off the dole. “You can buy anything with food stamps now”. If I gave you free stuff, would you turn it down???

Wait until austerity comes. The public leeches will go nuts because their EBT cards wonk work for Brie, Endive, or imported Spanish olives.

Public Assistance used to be an embarrassment. Now it’s an expected public allowance.

Ramen was a luxury. I lived on oatmeal.
