I mean, I live like I’m impoverished. Rarely ever go out to eat, most of my meals are cooked by myself and extremely cheap. I wear clothes with holes in them because I can’t typically afford to buy more, and when I do have enough to shop I go thrifting. My days are spent working, and my nights are spent pirating media because I can’t afford subscriptions, or playing free to play games. I’m absolutely miserable, and still, still am nowhere close to ever saving enough money to afford a downpayment on a house.
It’s never an issue of us “living within our means.” The issue is the billionaires at the top hoarding money like dragons.
I think I need to preface my comment by saying I’m about to shitpost. I do not believe in what I’m about to write but kinda believe that’s how the billionaires think. Anyway.
I see several issues in your lifestyle where you could optimize. For one, eating everyday is just not necessary. If you only eat every other day, you’ll be healthier and spend less money.
Second: your nights are not spent working. If you only have one or two jobs and still complain about money, that’s on you. If you value having fun and playing games over living a good life, do not complain. Ideally also stop pirating because that’s the worst crime of them all.

Yeah it’s a very centrist mindset to think this is a problem of people’s spending habits and not the economic system of exploitation taking from us.
