    Young people just don’t understand saving, and how your options expand after saving even just a little bit. Use this post as an example - if you put that $100-130 away every month, in about 6 months you can afford a gun. This gives you a lot more opportunities.

      Back in my day I could go to the corner store and get chips and a soda and a magazine and whatever I wanted. Now they have security cameras.

      Minimum wage is not supposed to maintain the expenses of an adult! Stop being lazy and act your age, leave that comfy minimum wage job, actually learn a trade like carpentry or something and build a device to separate heads from the rest of the body.

      Young people don’t have any income. How can they understand savings?

      if you put that $100-130 away every month, in about 6 months you can afford a gun

      And another six months before you can afford bullets.
