bloomer:

ok but dwelling on it won't help! i started waking up at 5am, cold showers, reading, investing in index funds - you gotta adapt!

boomer:

bloomer's got the right attitude. you kids just spend all your money on avocado toast and iphones then complain about being broke.

wojak:

i literally make avocado toast at home to save money and my phone is 4 years old. the math just doesn't work anymore...
