Comic Strips
Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Lol 10-15% of our income? I'm sorry... But who can afford that? We're getting so fucked right now by greed in this country...
My power bill was $500 last month for a two bedroom apartment. This is because I live in a city with the highest energy rates in the nation, all because the company and our local governments are absolutely lousy with corruption. They have posted obscene record profits for the last half a decade while everyone in the city suffers.
My rent was also 21% higher this year than it was in 2020. My landlord bought this place a decade ago at a bankruptsy auction, but like, fuck me right? Gatta keep those rates up when the rest of the city goes up.
I also haven't saved money since around 2019, since I went four years with a 0% raise due to the company I work for struggling. We were bought out by another company with tons of money, but they decided we were overpaid, since they live in a cheaper city.
My story is not unique. My story is not special. I hear a similar one from people every week. Retirement is a luxury most post-boomers will never experience, no matter how hard we work.
I've never owned a gun in my life. The day I go to buy one is the day I start planning for my "retirement."
I'm still doing the 401k thing and trying to save on the side, but just like homeownership, retirement is for "other people," not me :/
I work in heavy industry. One day I am going to get back medical tests results that I don't like. The next week there is going to be an accident at a job site and my family gets a few million.
Unless of course the insurance company uses GPT-9 to read your entire post history online and finds this comment.
In that case they deserve to win because that would be utterly insane. We are talking like +30 years from now and if they have the ability to find one comment on one social media site and prove in the court of law that I wrote it...well fine.
just invest that 15% in stocks that pay dividends instead
Great, which stocks specifically (that will make more money than just putting the money into an index fund that tracks the S&P500)?
specifically ones that pay dividends. funds don't usually pay dividends to investors
No, no.
Which specific stocks. Name company names.
it seems like you know the ones
I do not.
SPECIFIC stocks. (We can drop the act - we both know you have no idea).
lol what a noob to trading you are. GME obviously
Good day sir.
