my paycheck disappears faster than my motivation

Okay, legit question: my paycheck drops, I breathe, and then it's gone. Poof. Vanished into the abyss of bills, overpriced coffees, and that one impulse buy I probably didn't need but *felt* like I did. Seriously, how do y'all make it last? Am I just bad with money or is capitalism just built different? Send help (and money). #AdultingSucks #PaycheckPains #BrokeLife #GenZStruggles

OMG YES. Just got paid yesterday, decided to treat myself to sushi, and now I'm budgeting for ramen for the rest of the week. The struggle is REAL. 😭

Fr though. I literally watch my direct deposit hit and then just immediately see half of it go to rent and utilities. Like, was it even there? It's a digital phantom. 👻
