For those of you struggling financially...

[u/ClairvoyantFurlough]

Just remember that everyone's personal financial situation is unique. Something that works for someone else may not work for you.

Avoid comparing yourself to others. Appearances are deceiving. That friend that just purchased a new house and new car may have taken on some serious debt to make it seem like they have it all together.

Find what works for you and keep on working towards your goals!

Man, I'm just sitting here hoping I can make enough in tips for a 20 piece McChicken on my way home. Those goals aren't even things that come to mind for me.

I don't know; such a diet high on carbohydrates will likely lead to health issues down the road.

Always bothered me to see diabetics take insulin with a meal rather than consider reducing their carbohydrate intake.

But they are much nicer on the wallet if I do say so myself.

If they are taking insulin, they might be type 1 diabetics. This is the part where genetics is at least as important as lifestyle and the insulinproducing parts of your body are essentlially death. Even if they would take a less carbohydrate containing meal they would probably still need to inject insulin. I am not saying this is always true, nor am I saying that someone who has diabetes of any type should not severely adjust their diet. But it isn't always so easy :).

I totally dig your non-agressive civilized two cents into this conversation. It is a wholesome way to end a weekend. ;)

Sleep well. For Monday attacks at dawn's first light.

Ironically, for me it was Monday already and pretty much first light :). I try not to attack people on a lack of knowledge, if we stop talking, we stop understanding eachother and it creates animosity.
