Someone shared this on FB and there is so much truth to it. What do you think? Do you think most people live beyond their means? As someone who was recently working 3 jobs to pay off all my debts,gave my 24 year old car to a missionary kid, saved up for a huge down payment on a newer used car and paid off the remainder financed amount in 3.5 months. I used to be all about instant gratification and using credit cards but now if I don’t have the cash I am not getting it. Being DEBT FREE is so FREEING!! “QUIT YOUR BITCHING!!!!!! Grandpa didn’t have a $90 month internet bill, a $130 phone bill, seven app subscriptions at $72 month, an Amazon addiction for $200 month, he didn’t have Netflix, Paramount or HBO for another $112 month and his haircuts didn’t need a ‘stylist’! I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!” Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes. And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it. Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner. Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes. And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush. When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived. The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story. Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent. Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why. Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work. They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on. So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard. Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week. It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle. Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth.”Yes I copied this....even added to it. It’s truth....God is Good, God is Great, I thank HIM for this day AMEN.

I’m voting a straight Republican ticket for the midterms here in Virginia

With @UKLabour, we have a rogue, runaway government. It is consuming the wealth of the nation and is destroying the freedom of the individual.

They missed Donald Trump’s head by millimeters and shot Charlie Kirk in the neck and killed him. But gas is a little high right now, so I think I’ll sit this one out and not vote in the midterms. Says no self-respecting American.

In rural Winchester, VA, the Bartonsville Solar project cuts through hundreds of acres of swaths of farmland, turning the rolling hills of rural Virginia into dystopian seas of blue Chinese 🇨🇳 built glass This as @GovernorVA approved 300,000+ more acres of Virginia farmland and forests for solar farms.

If Trump can run the country, campaign for 33 days straight, all while being 80 years old — you can get your ass off the couch and go vote Republican up & down the ballot.

Boston Children’s Hospital wants you to forget they were proud of poisoning vulnerable children with puberty blockers & cross sex hormones & cutting off their healthy body parts in their marketing videos. Thank you to @BillboardChris for exposing these. Here are all of them.🧵

ARE YOU TRYING TO INTIMIDATE ME FROM CONDUCTING MY INVESTIGATION/INQUIRY? Why is a member or members of the Senate Armed Services Committee blocking my promotion to Colonel? Is this whistleblower reprisal by US Senator(s) against a US Army officer for making protected communications regarding the health and safety of our servicemembers? Is there any connection to the death threats, harassment, etc. I have endured? Is this weaponization and abuse of their position on behalf of pharmaceutical companies, of which they may have conflicts of interest? Do the American people whose sons and daughters came to serve in the military have a right to know my findings without Senators trying to intimidate and punish me for conducting a Secretary of HHS directed investigation? I came out as a whistleblower to protect our servicemembers from the UNLAWFUL vaccine mandate. In April 2025, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and SECWAR Pete Hegseth appointed me as the investigation/inquiry officer to look into our health surveillance system to include vaccine adverse events reports submitted on over 55,000 , including 2,544 deaths, of individuals identified as servicemembers. @realDonaldTrump @SecKennedy @SecWar @infantrydort @samosaur @TuckerCarlson @GenFlynn @annvandersteel @SenRonJohnson

In the past few years Boeing have taken hits from all quarters. But no matter what you think, this is an astonishing image of a @flydubai aircraft that went well beyond its design limits (30,000 Ft per minute descent rate was reported, a normal rate is about 1500 ft per minute) and held together. That’s robust aviation engineering that Joe Sutter would have been very proud of, and Boeing should be too. Bravo to those off duty pilots who saved the day and landed the aircraft safely in Saudi Arabia.

🚨 Target is using several forms of dynamic pricing and algorithmic pricing in their stores and through their app Prices are being set based on the data the Target App collects from your phone. Yes, this is real Investigations found the Target app charging higher prices once you are detected in or near a store versus in the parking lot. California even took them to court over this geofencing pricing Prices for the same items like eggs, toilet paper and more can differ between stores and ZIP codes New York law now requires disclosure when prices are set by an algorithm using personal data. Target’s site has displayed notices such as “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.” This woman went into a Target store and the employees even confirmed Target is using algorithmic and dynamite pricing and it needs to be banned nationwide

How the hell does a chick smash in to the back of my truck, cause $5,300 in damage, LIE about having insurance and then get found NOT GUILTY for the assured clear distance citation she got? So I get fucked for… stopping at a red light and having car insurance?

When”Death to America” and “Vote Democrat” mean the same thing…

🇦🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺 A RUSSIAN AND A UKRAINIAN SAVED THE DAY After much confusion, it turns out a Ukrainian and a Russian pilot were on board the FlyDubai plane. Both took control of the plane and landed it after the second pilot attacked the captain. Both are pilots who were flying as regular passengers in civilian clothes. After the incident, they replaced the crew in the cockpit and landed the plane. Russians and Ukrainians work together… a much better end to this story!

The U.K. terrorists at RAF were never supposed to be caught...The Woman who notified police called numerous times with no answer. If she wasn't so diligent in calling every number possible, the attack would have gone off as planned. Now, the U.K. is RELEASING them while not arresting the other 5 men. She claims she saw 8-10 men. Authorities NEVER even interviewed her. Why? This a cover up, was this a false flag that got spoiled? None of it makes sense.

Hasan Piker just unlocked a new level: "Those two SEALs tripped and fell off the fu**ing ladder in the Red Sea” laugh laugh laugh “the only time SEALs can swim is when an Osprey goes down” laugh laugh laugh “Then they fu**ing die anyway”

OMG "Independent" candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska Dan Osborn, was just caught on undercover video admitting to TRICKING voters about his views "I can go and I can be the voice for LGBTQ and immigration... Then I lose the election... At the end of the day, I’m gonna win this election. And then I’ll be the Senator for six years and everybody else can F-off.” Nebraska, don't believe a thing this he says. He wants to deceive you and push gender ideology if he wins!

German sailors threw thousands of bottles overboard between 1864 and 1933 to chart ocean currents, and in 2018 a woman walking an Australian beach picked one up, 132 years after a captain logged it going over the rail — and the note's details matched the ship's journal exactly @GionNewGion spacedaily.com/b-german-sail…
