The shit @DOS_patos and @The Mad Titan talking about ain't even first world problems. They have 1% problems. Very few first world people are living like that.
To @konceptjones point, I remember growing up and not getting shit. Now that I'm older and got money, I realize the shit I wanted as a kid didn't even cost much. We were just broke.
My brother through out a perfectly decent pot of rice that was made days ago...
smh.
also gotta look at how pays grew and how prices lowered with mass production..maybe not everybody but thats definitely some normal american shit they talking about....some may have to tweak the numbers here and there but its general shit people complain about here
yeah I hear you on the other point tho...i was dying laughing at my kids one day cuz they were whining about something....im like man we used to beg for the name brand cereal or to be able to pack lunches like the cool kids
im kinda bitter about the shit now that I do have things and can look back and see, like you said....shit wasnt even outlandish or expensive.....we had house parties and bbq's all the time, I know they could have paid bills on time and afforded some better things if they had known better
the only reason i dont hold them fully accountable is because I understand its generational.....if you dont know shit about money or how to handle it, you cant possibly show your kids the right way.....they did what they learned
shit i agree.Naw, 1% problems is your private jet not being cleared for take off in time.
And yeah growing up, we was broke as hell too. I remember having a meal at the soup kitchen one time. We was on food stamps, wic and was at Focus Hops every month. Looking back it was lack of effort (too much smoking and drinking) and financial illiteracy.
so yall just wasting money?lol
its rice my boy......3 days tops, toss that shit
it was still in the pot too?.....I know that shit was hard
but yeah wasted food is def an issue for this thread......we toss all kinda good ass food.....like, shit I couldnt always afford
problem is, when the wife or m.i.l cooks they make enough for damn 15 people.....I'll eat leftovers 2 times and thats it
we've tossed half trays of sushi, pots of bolognese, shrimp, all kinda shit....and im mad to see it go but I cant/wont eat any more of it smh
if we got company we try to send everything with them....desserts and all....its not uncommon to leave my crib w/ half a cake and a ziplock bag fulla chicken lol
mannah man....where u from?
southern/country people just cook a lotta food....there's this fear of not having enough for somebody lol
we just end up with too much leftovers all the time

shit even now.....i buy two days worth a food and just go back to the store on the 3rd day.
we was wasting mad food.
and when you see all the immigrants hungry and shit....makes you think twice about wasting...but thats just me says the nigga who cant get regular massages.....only thai hands touch this skin
