Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.

If you’re not into self-deprecating, dark, or suicidal humor, this isn’t the place for you. Kindly block and move on. This is just how some of us cope
Rule 2: Respect One Another
We’re here to laugh through the pain, not to make it worse.
Rule 3: Title Requirement
All post titles must be 2meirl4meirl.
Rule 4: No Forbidden Formats
The usual stuff applies:
If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it.
Otherwise post your memes, share your pain, and salute your fellow sadpeeps
I see the difference between you and I. It's that people talk to me at parties. Look the figures and facts are available to you, you have an internet connection. Home ownership and financial stability have crashed among our generation. It's just true. You have been lucky, and boring enough in your choices to make that luck count. Most of us haven't.
I know someone who was made homeless despite working 60 hour weeks for a job at the local council. So "all the people you know", who you are judging so harshly might not actually be a good indicator of what's what. I think there is quite possibly a decent level of bias in your thinking, which confirms your firmly held belief that you deserve what you have because you worked for it. Maybe you do. But I know ten people who work harder than you who have less than you have, so...
right, i'm a boring anti social asshole. that's why i'm doing well... and not because i grew up in 'poverty' and had to learn to pay my own bills from a young age and now reap the rewards of lifelong responsibility and lack of a entitle attitude towards the world. where i come from nothing was given or expected. i never expected to own a home or get a job, i knew i had to earn it.
If only I had overspent all my money partying and traveling in my 20s, and i was sitting here at 40 with six figures of debt. then i'd be a 'real' millennial...
hard work doesn't mean anything unless you budget. i know people who work 80 hour weeks, making 300K and are still massively in debt. because they spend more than they make.
sadly math doesn't care about rich or poor or lucky or unlucky. many people in our generation are entitled nitwits who don't know how math works. and many support the very same policies that are impoverishing them. most of my friends are anti-housing development, despite the fact they can't afford homes. they cause their own suffering.
Hey, nobody said "asshole".
