Everybody likes to see how far they can stretch the limits. Sometimes we think we should all live our lives as if we’re negotiating the last dazzling elephant-covered scarf at an Asain flea market. That extra $1 feels so valuable after knowing you’ve worked for it. However, when most people create a thorough budget when …

22-year-old recent grad spends 80% of their paycheck on rent, can’t understand how fellow professionals get by on entry-level pay: ‘How is this sustainable?’
Many people believe they cannot live in high-cost-of-living areas like New York or San Francisco on a modest salary. I find it somewhat silly when someone claims it’s literally impossible to live in these places if you make under $ 100,000. It is absolutely possible to live there on half of that, but you have …

Parents demand single mom pay them $800 because her 8th-grade son accidentally broke their son’s glasses: ‘I find it very difficult to believe that a child requires $800 glasses’
One of the worst feelings is accidentally breaking someone’s possessions. Even if you only do minimal damage to someone’s property, you feel awful because there’s very little you can do to fix the damage in the moment. You can apologize profusely, offer to buy them a replacement, or give them the money to replace it …

Husband refuses to pay $8K for plastic surgery for his wife to fix scars from a botched procedure his mother-in-law got for her 10 years ago: ‘This amount for cosmetic surgery doesn’t sit well with me’
The million dollar question with plastic surgery is whether it actually does what it proports to do. It’s supposed to make you look younger and better, but it’s not uncommon for plastic surgery to make you look older and worse. You’re «supposed» to get Botox as a preventative measure instead of as a last resort, …

26 Memes for Broke People with Expensive Taste

34-year-old man allows his female friend to use his female roommates expensive shampoo and conditioner, asks her why she hid them from her the 2nd time she tried to use them: ‘It’s not my responsibility to provide spa products for her’
There are implicit social rules about borrowing things from roommates. I will ask my roommates if I can borrow one of their tomatoes for a recipe, but I won’t hesitate to use their garlic powder without asking. Life would be so tedious if every roommate had to buy their own eggs that only they could …

Hairstylist raises her prices from $300 to $500 for highlights and a haircut, blindsighting her loyal customer of 10+ years: ‘I was completely shocked. A 20% tip on that would be $100 on top of that massive amount.’
If there’s anyone who knows about wasting money for extravagant hair purposes, it’s me. I’ve spent the past 4 years throwing money into the furnace that is being bleach blonde. I think it’s worth every penny, mainly because I do it on a budget. Every hairstylist I’ve ever met wants you to dye your blonde …

Wealthy family member buys $2500 sweater for teenage boy, his mom calls it the dumbest thing she’s ever see: ‘Should I have said that? Probably not. Should anyone on earth spend $2500 on a sweater? Probably not.’
It can feel wild to accept a gift that is both extremely expensive and material. Accepting a check made out to you for $10,000 is one of the easiest things you can do, but when you know that someone actually decided to exchange $10,000 cash for a non-practical material object for you and you alone, …
