@johhny I know, I saw the post. But it's like me saying. I go get a loan form the bank. Then I go play roulette at the casino and lose everything and then go complain about being poor. In Dutch, we would say "eigen schuld, dikke bult."

@johhny First of all. Stop fucking gambling. Second, why do all Americans have these crazy car payments. Y'all act like that shit is normal. I drive a small car from 2010 that I bought for 5k cask back in 2018. No issues whatsoever, except for normal maintenance. Third don't get a credit card if...

@johhny I don't use that much. Like I said, the Netherlands is far more expensive than the US. I used 156 kwh in December 2023 and 173m3 gas. I have a 1yo son, so I have to make sure the temp is nice for him. But nothing crazy. Like 20 degrees Celsius.

@johhny About 75m2 apartment. Energy prices are crazy in the Netherlands. I pay like 225 a month. But most months I use far less, so I'll get money back in April 2024.

@johhny Lots of protein, healthy fats. Combined with carbs from bread. It's a good, cheap thing to eat. When you're really hungry, you don't eat something because you like it or not. You eat it to fill your stomach.

@johhny Trust me buddy. I've had days were my dinner was peanut butter sandwich and tap water multiple days in a row.

@johhny But don't gamble 5k that you don't have and then come complaining when you lose.

@johhny I understand. There are no easy solutions. Best bet is to get a better paying job. Most office jobs are fucking easy and pay decent. Lie on your résumé to get in. Not like there is anything to lose. That's what I'd do.

@johhny What I mean is, better to focus on learning a skill that can earn you a couple hundred extra a month than making a lot of effort to save 10 bucks.

@johhny Focus on increasing income. That will help more. I'm not saying this is a bad idea. But you can only save so much.
