Multiple times now, I’ve had people on Lemmy tell me that I am either not caring about my future or not caring about my child’s future because I buy myself an occasional chai latte and her an occasional smoothie or some Taco Bell food.
I hate this idea that you should deny yourself any and all pleasures in life so that you can have a decent 10-20 end-of-life years when you retire. People made fun of the avocado toast guy, but suddenly now he’s got the right idea?
I’m not going to have major retirement savings if I put the maybe $20 a month at most that this costs and it makes our lives a little less miserable right now.

Taco Bell used to be what you bought because it was dirt cheap. Is it supposed to be a luxury now?
No, is basically dog food.
