Wait are you telling me a chicken dinner and juice is more attainable than a home?? Could that be why?
There’s a reason young people are travelling and using their savings on entertainment, we know we will never own. Not until we take housing by force, so what’s the point of saving? I can’t even save enough to keep up with interest. So yeah when I’m old I’ll be poor and the government will have to deal with me
GenZ complains about having so much debt and not enough income but they keep buying food! How can they expect to succeed when they waste their money so frivolously?!
..... That's what this headline reads like to me. How dare you buy food with the money you should be spending on the interest you owe to the owners of the country.
Reading the actual article, the lunacy and delusion is real. You don't even get three paragraphs in and they're using a sales engineer's thoughts to represent young people as a whole.
Splurging on double ply toilet paper that is free of bark. Recklessly spending on biannual toothbrushs. carelessly using their lunch break to eat instead of adopting mico-hussles. foolishly agreeing to pay rent instead of taking money out of their grandfather's equity built trust fund to buy expansive rental properties.
why are they so bad with money?
It’s depressing just how quickly and comprehensively Jeff Bezos has managed to destroy the WSJ. It used to be respected internationally, now it’s just a grubby little clickfarm.
"Splurging“ on the absolute cheapest most preservative laiden meat available, cheapeer than fucking Spam, and Gut healthy jucis because they can't afford to go to a doctor.
Fucking ghouls.
Headline in two years: Gen Z'ers are splurging on food instead of giving their money to the rich.
Gen Z and millennials are splurging on breathing air.
"GenZ struggling to survive in the lower levels of MegaCity5. Their blood is too low in iron to keep the immortal rich alive."
GenZ not eating nutritious meals is the leading cause of rejection for Soylent processing.
Yeah that might be the most accurate to the blaming tone these kinds of articles write with and to what they will take from us.
Just need to jazz it up with some homemade slang to hide the sad bits and the immortal rich part.
"GenZ struggling in well stocked MegaCity5; "Fecal-de-Cal" diet blamed for lack of macro nutrients during their mandatory weekly Blood-Up donations."
"Splurging" on one of the most prolific loss leaders in grocery is certainly one way to say it. We're buying them because it's the cheapest way to eat
Up next: Gen Z splurging on costco hotdogs and mi goreng instant noodles.
You mean the rotisserie chickens that are $5-6, compared to lunch meat being at 10-12/lb? Splurging on that rotisserie chicken purchase?
There is a reason we think boomers are out of touch.
They bought houses with high school diplomas for 6 walnuts. Why can't you kids do the same?
Try to explain to them that we will never be as weathly as they are and how we will receive 0 inheritance from them because they planned out how to spend their entire retirement savings not knowing what end of life care actually costs.
That rotisserie chicken that I can stretch into like three to five meals, including making broth? That one?
Good ol' rotisserie chicken, rice, n beans. Sauce of choice. A legendary combination.
I make black bean based veggie patties; not because I'm a vegetarian, but because a can of black beans is cheap. I call them struggle burgers. I can't wait to be demonized for buying fucking beans. Fuck this timeline.
Newspaper: Americans Eat Too Much Ultra processed food.
Same Newspaper: Look at these little shits splurging on veggies and chicken.
Bitch, it is cheaper to buy the fully cooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery store than the UNCOOKED WHOLE CHICKEN.
Don't fucking tell me how to math, you assholes made corporations people, so I think we have very different ideas of what is important in this world.
So we are not supposed to ....eat?
The rich don't understand the purpose of food, having never missed a meal in their lives.
Ending your sentence after "rich" would have been good enough to answer the question.
If you saved that $5 instead of wasting it on food every day, then in 275 years you could afford the average house!
splurging on rotisserie chicken
You mean those cheap chickens they sell at grocery stores that can feed you for days?
The wall street journal aren't good journalists.
They cater towards rich people and as such:
Nothing they write is objective
They're not journalists at all.
Splurging on the cheapest animal protein.. Wowee, really living it up in 2026!
