    Hey I'm a software engineer and was one of the fabled "25 year old making 100k" people once upon a time not too long ago

    • rent was close to triple that
    • cell phone was double
    • internet was quadruple, tf are you getting 20/mo internet, dial up? Even Starbucks WiFi will run you higher than that
    • house cleaner??? you mean the broken off-brand roomba I bought off craigslist??? yeah it was like 30 in parts and 15 hours of labor to fix
    • health insurance was more than that per paycheck, prolly like 600/mo
    • groceries might've been close, dining out was certainly much higher cause I never had time to fucking cook
    • "donations" well yeah I wasn't gonna leave the People's Liberation Army of the Everglades to arm itself. Oh did you mean Beto's senate campaign?

    Edit: these fuckers sure left off student loans didn't they

          I mean, I'll give you that the alligators go hard, but they are easily defeated by air-conditioning. How far can you trust a comrade who falls asleep when a bucket of ice is dumped on them?

            It's a stealth tactic, iguanas who go into stasis during the rare Florida frosts get picked up by people who think they're dead and plan to eat them then come back alive in the back seat ready to attack
