To save even more money, switch over completely to a diet of things you find on the ground.
To save even more money, stop bathing, showering and brushing your teeth.
To save even more money, stop living in a house and move into the sewers.
To save even more money, stop wearing clothes.
To save even more money, stop communicating with expensive words, settling instead for grunting, growling and maybe barking like a dog. Consider filing your teeth pointy.
To save even more money, stop using tools. Emerge from your sewer hideout only at night to prowl the streets on all fours, feral and bewildered, eyes grown pale and milky from years in the dark sewers darting maniacally back and forth while your filth-encrusted teeth and nails twitch in anticipation of the slightest movement.
This is how I was able to afford a starter house by age 30. This and a $400 000 loan from my father.
Of course this comes from the wall street journal lmao straight propaganda
Lmao what the fucking hell. I hope that guy was let go by whatever college he “teaches” at. I put teaches in quotations because I hope they are drug testing that fucker. He took some flaka or something.
He was an economics teacher at a private college. He’s entirely on brand for that school.
I’m not religious, but I do feel like writing something like this is comparable to selling your soul to the devil. The person who wrote this abandoned their humanity for capitalists and they should be ashamed.
If they had the capacity to feel shame, I don’t think they would have penned that article. Disgusts me how quickly people abandon humanity for a few schillings
Not religious, but I do believe the author is pegged by the Mammon for lolz and profit
I really thought this was satire until your comment.
Who thought this was a good idea to publish…
that’s the one Bezos bought?
Murdoch owns WSJ, Bezos owns The Washington Post.
ahh, so worse than I thought, lol
“We know life is Hard, but have you tried Ultra Hard by skipping the most important meal of the day and starting out famished?”
Off topic but I don’t think breakfast is any more or less important than a meal any other time of the day. Most days I only eat one big meal around dinnertime and maybe have a few bites of some snack throughout the day. I’ve been like that for years now it started from doing 12 hour construction shifts where I’d just work all day with a coffee and maybe an apple or something then eat a big meal once I was home. I don’t do construction anymore but the way I eat stuck with me. It’s probably worth pointing out that I’m very fit and a healthy bodyweight (5’10 152lbs) and I don’t suffer any negative effects from living like this. I’d say I’m healthier than 90% of the people I know.

Actually, science says he’s right. You should fast at least 16 hour per day.
I’ve never seen this were have you read that ?
For exemple
16/8 is the most common intermittent fasting protocol for begginers. 20/4 is recommended in case of autoimmune disease, to reverse leaky gut and insulin resistance.
Advertising says he’s wrong. Science actually backs him. Look up autophagy and see all the health benefits that you get from a fasted state.
Science says nothing of the sort, but marketing certainly does.
the most important meal of the day bullshit was invented by america, fuckin milk lobby and shit somene else explain it I don’t care enough to

Maybe I should get more money and live a normal life yea?
Have you tried not being poor?
I try one day then I’m poor again.
“Instead of seeking happiness, save money with misery”
Struggling to get by? Have you tried forgoing basic needs of survival like food?
Thank you, I’ve finally achieved Capitalist enlightenment! The secrets of capitalism are mine!
I’m not ready for esoteric capitalism
" Instead of seeking happiness, save money on pussy" <– what my GF read
No need to skip meals, there’s plenty of rich to eat
Yeahh intermittent fasting bro 💪 /s
This but unironically. Pretty good life choice lol, regardless of what the reason is.
Just gotta make sure you also excersize so your muscles don’t atrophy.
Ofc.
To not get murdered, die right now…
Seriously though skip breakfast
Yeah, I rarely have it unless I have to travel for a while and won’t have a chance to take an early lunch. I don’t usually get up til 8:55 though. I have to be at work by 9.
Thanks, Bezos. Thezos.
To save more money, stop eating lunch and dinner
Just ascend into a being of pure energy
This is what boomers unironically believe.
:“Don’t like climate change? Just ascend to godhood and create your own planet, you nosy busybodies need to learn to live and let live! Muh freedumz!”I didn’t know all boomers were Mormons
Why even bother? Just stop eating
Next headline:
#Millennials are Killing the Food Industry
"They just eat “woke”
If you eat just after having woke, then that is literally called “breakfast”.
The masses lack bread? Let them go on a “diet”
My prescriptions cost so much too. Maybe I should just stop taking my antidepressants and see how it rides out. .
Just take 'em every other day, as a treat!
- DON’T do this!
what would actually happen if you did do this… say for money reasons
“If you spiral into the grave, your cost of living goes down by 100%!” - some jackass at the wsj soon, probably
Here’s a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.
Journalists don’t write their own heds. It would have been an editor who wrote it. Your point stands otherwise.
