The tweet is framed as a good example of a 25 year old who is good with their money.
The reality is that, even setting aside the fact that he is making $100k at 25 with no student loans, that the budgets don't account for the average person.
He has his parents and friends "helping out" to justify extremely low budgets on phone, transportation, housing etc. Not to mention the $600+/month budget for donations (*jackoff motion*) and the lack of budget for basic things like investments or entertainment. Things even like haircuts don't fall into any one category, but they're a conscious part of many people's paychecks, more so than housekeeping.
Yet pie graphs like these perpetuate the notion that millennials simply aren't as financially savvy as those in past generations.
The tweet is correct and you clearly didnt read the article, just like the imbeciles at resetera.
Dude is being good at money by making smart decisions.
Splitting the internet bill with roomates isnt "friends helping out" its a "no shit each roommate doesnt get their own Comcast line"
And thats what freaks people the fuck out. How easy it is to make smart financial decissions while they rot in debt.
Look at this conversation I hear every day:
-You can massively cut your expenses by not having a car!
-Bu bu bu bu I need a car and I can't afford to live somewhere you dont! Rent is like $4,000 in the city!
Except like the tweet dude and literally tens of millions of people demonstrate every fucking day, its possible by making good decissions like splitting the fucking rent.
There are trade-offs, yes, but theyre worth it.
The only thing thats bs is the student loan thing, so just delete "donations" and paste in "repay debt"
Done. You can live your life just like the dude.
