American says we are no longer living, we’re just existing. “I'm only living to work, like there is no enjoyment” “I truly cannot be the only person in this world that feels like I'm just existing. Y'all, I work, work, work. My husband works, works, works, and it's like, where's

@WallStreetApes Was walking into Home Depot yesterday. Overheard two employees talking outside the front entrance. “How much are they paying you?” Because it used to be you work one week of the month to pay for rent and then 3 weeks you have to enjoy. But now it’s the opposite. You work 3 weeks

@WallStreetApes Make a baby and you'll find purpose hun.

@WallStreetApes We are enslaved to the government. It is not the people’s country anymore. But it is also the people who don’t waste money on material things.

@WallStreetApes In the past people were happy to have a home. They didn’t need 5+ bedrooms and 4 bathrooms spread out in 4,000 sq ft of living space. People were happy with less. Now they have to have more and they don’t even spend much time in their big houses because they’re working to pay for

@WallStreetApes I wonder if those diamonds are real? Might find something that doesn't cost money to enjoy. Mostly we are overtaxed, because people vote to be taxed, expecting freebies. The elite have us sending out money to them as we work to supply their goods.

@WallStreetApes It’s not hard to live below what you earn. Really simple. Figure out how little you want to do or how motivated you are. You get an income level then you only rent or buy within your limits. Same for car, clothes etc. with the extra cash you save some and spend some on

@WallStreetApes Move to the hood. Eat beans and tortillas. Noone feels sorry for you

@WallStreetApes Why do women do that with their hands? It looks REALLY stupid. But without knowing their monthly expenses to see where the money is going or if they're spending beyond their means this is all just bitching.

@WallStreetApes @grok explain '10% do 50% of the consumption (GDP)'

@WallStreetApes Yea, we’re f* cked. And so far the only prices Trump has slightly brought down are gas prices. Everything else is still astronomical! Life is completely unaffordable for most. We have become debt slaves just working to survive while Trump decorate the White House with Gold Tin

@WallStreetApes For those reading this simply say what is your household income, and what are your monthly expenses. Then if you can further define those expenses that would be great. Sometimes we don't get to hear about the $700 car note or other expenses we shall be just assume that it's all

@WallStreetApes The government quintupled the money supply this century causing the cost of living to increase permanently

@WallStreetApes You could be working in 1875 without electricity, AC, all while catching your own food everyday. There are some that really live like she is saying but most clock 8-9 hour days. I am sure she is not

@WallStreetApes So I gauentee that I could find at least 500.00 per month that they are paying for “wants” and not needs.

@WallStreetApes This confuses me as what do you think life should look like? Traditionally since let’s say the 60’s people had 2 weeks vacation and earned through years served up to 4 max. Weekends, depending on the season, were either pool days, cookouts or mom and dad out on Friday or

@WallStreetApes …Nose Ring … there will never be enough “extra money to go enjoy life itself” … instead, find a way to serve others, and your purpose on this earth will be fulfilled … your soul will then be satisfied, and you will find joy all around you …

@WallStreetApes Lived on a couch in my office for three and a half years to raise 40% down on first house. Not having a home, apartment or bed for years is sacrifice. After buying the house paid it off in nine years. It gets easier. But you’re young. It’s the time to make tough choices.

@WallStreetApes Lady.. Its been like this for many many many years Its just most of the ppl in the us were not experiencing it yet. I know its hard but it will be harder

@WallStreetApes Well then that's a few of us who will never see a roller coaster ride for absence of money and time. There's a whole lot to do in the world but most are stuck in the round and round circular rut of routine.

@WallStreetApes Sell the nose ring and stop getting tats. Solved.

@WallStreetApes Debt is a huge issue as well. Interest rates and taxes‼️ These are three main problems Americans are dealing with. And on top it off- @Chevron has the nerve to insist on higher gas prices, while they dominate ownership of the gas stations. I moved to a cheaper state to help me.

@WallStreetApes Working in the modern era is unrewarding, not just financially but in all aspects. Most people are working on things that don't matter, for people that don't appreciate their efforts. This is a fundamental aspect of service work and the west is mostly service work.

@WallStreetApes I think majority of us echo with her thoughts. We spend 8+ hrs in offices & work... And then rest of the hours planning for next 8 hrs. We have lost our enjoyment of living. Just existing to pay the bills.

@WallStreetApes Find a hobby that doesn’t take a bunch of money. Learn to enjoy the life of the mind. And relationships.

@WallStreetApes Don't worry DJT says everything is fine and if disagree your a democratic operative...

@WallStreetApes It's always been this way for most people. I had to spend many years just going to work, and exercise and go to church. At least she's married and they have each other spend time with. But the only to get ahead is to live very very below your means and stay out of debt and save,

@WallStreetApes It shouldn’t be controversial to say: People deserve rest, joy, and security. Not endless grind and exhaustion.

@WallStreetApes The dots are connecting for some, but it’ll take more before people realize retirement isn’t on the table. So why the hell is 12.4% of every paycheck siphoned into a “Social Security” fund we’ll never see? Folks might want to do the math on the robbery.

@WallStreetApes lol… at least she noticed.. yet does nothing about it but post this… why not post what she did to avoid being swallowed by the system ? Ohh wait she can’t because of ignorance…

@WallStreetApes The solution is so simple. Leave America. Move abroad. Life is so much more affordable, and healthcare doesn’t bankrupt anyone. Housing doesn’t consume your paycheck. The food is fresher, more healthful and isn’t packed with frankengredients — and much less costly. In many places

@WallStreetApes Yes.. Work.. That’s what we do. Work, save and prepare for the future. You need to control spending. Save and enjoy. We learn to enjoy the small important things in life. TV is not real!!

@WallStreetApes If someone on the street tricks you into a scam and you have to pay him $100. He goes to jail. If the banks give you a loan on your $350,000 home and in 30 years you have paid the bank $1.5 million dollars in an obvious scam, it's just business. Bankers = Real criminals.

@WallStreetApes They don't understand what the purpose of their life is. That's why they are miserable. They think it's to enjoy themselves with frivolous activities. It's not. (Ecclesiastes 12:13) "¶ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this

@WallStreetApes We have allowed ourselves to be financially cuked by the upper class, private equity, money changers….. We all know a little bit about the story of Jesus. Time to flip the table

@WallStreetApes it's because our entertainment is so fake and scripted .. from livestreams to sports, then going out there's risk of death from the worst of society .. a modern day coliseum would solve a majority of the problems, jails and prisons turned into gladiator camps

@WallStreetApes Welcome to America lol lol
