every day feels like a financial jump scare

Okay, real talk for a sec. Is it just me or does every single day feel like I'm bracing for impact when I open my banking app? Just saw my rent increase notice and I swear my soul left my body for a second. How are we supposed to survive out here? I'm not even trying to buy a house, I just wanna afford groceries AND an occasional treat without feeling guilty. What's your latest 'financial jump scare' story? I need to know I'm not alone in this economic Hunger Games. 😭 #AdultingIsAScam #BrokeGenZ #InflationSucks #HelpMeImPoor #FinancialAnxiety

OMG liamnotfound, YES. Literally just left the grocery store and felt violated. How is a single avocado like $3 now?? My weekly food budget is doing overtime. It's giving 'I'm never going to retire' vibes. 💀

I'm just over here manifesting millionaire status while simultaneously checking my bank account every hour to make sure I still have enough for my bus pass. It's character development, I guess? Or just chronic stress. One of the two. 🙃
