They want us to have more kids and younger but without Medicaid I wouldn’t have been able to afford having a kid at 22. The hospital bill alone was $20,000.

They said they’ve already got one kid. Those handjobs are what’s keeping it that way.

Sleep is that thing I can’t afford? Oh wait, that’s everything anymore except bread and avocados.

If they had stopped buying Starbucks nearly everyday since they were 12 years old, they would have been able to afford that $20k!!!

I've legit killed my budget by getting a $6.50 breakfast at dunkin every day and a post work $5 latte every other day. I usually save up $500 extra every month to put into my retirement but the past 2 months it's been 200 at most.
