Idk, Panda Express is reasonably priced imo. I'm diabetic so I get super greens instead of rice tho.

Guess I was responding to … another recent meme … the one with the couple able to buy a home on top and the current guy just making memes…

I just get so tired of people making it all about the system— when I think it takes two to tango?

It absolutely does take two, but I'd say the hamster wheel has spun ever faster while we try to plan retirement etc. Medical costs for things like diabetes are out-fucking-rageous, there is no pension system, higher education used to be 1/32nd of a years salary (yes, accounting for inflation) etc etc.

I've taken to planning as though social security simply will not exist by the time I'm ready for it, never mind the possibility of environmentally driven war and displacement.

The future is always in flux, but reflecting on history, it seems things are tremendously more difficult than before.

You and I are in agreement.

Things are tough.

But smarts, creativity, and hard work never go out of style.

Other than volunteering to help your farmer neighbor butcher his animals, what's the next cheapest way to get meat?

Where I live there's a big package of chicken patties for 10 bucks at Nofrills. It costs 7 bucks or more for ONE chicken fillet at most fast food restaurants.

Well… fast food meat, ounce for ounce, is much more expensive than cooking your own. But I can’t recommend “bargain” raw meat.

Cmon who doesn't love some tube beef.

Rice is genuinely such an amazing filler
