I already don’t eat breakfast and I’m still poor, what now WSJ???
Economists hate this one SECRET HACK you can do to avoid poordom. Among investmentology specialists it is a well guarded secret that switching to a making money framework instead of the popular losing money framework has a long term net positive effect on your private economy.
Of course, the answer was right in front of me! I just need to pull on those bootstraps harder
Just eat once a week. Yuge savings
Skip lunch lol
Fasting 🤑
Time to go one meal a day
I think to save money you should skip dinner. Breakfast food is generally cheaper. Big breakfast at 10-11am. Late lunch at 4-5pm and a light dinner if hungry at night is more economical
Sleep for dinner
Of course this comes from the wall street journal lmao straight propaganda
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
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.
that’s the one Bezos bought?
Murdoch owns WSJ, Bezos owns The Washington Post.
ahh, so worse than I thought, lol
My prescriptions cost so much too. Maybe I should just stop taking my antidepressants and see how it rides out. .
“If you spiral into the grave, your cost of living goes down by 100%!” - some jackass at the wsj soon, probably
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
“Instead of seeking happiness, save money with misery”
Thank you, I’ve finally achieved Capitalist enlightenment! The secrets of capitalism are mine!
I’m not ready for esoteric capitalism
Struggling to get by? Have you tried forgoing basic needs of survival like food?
" Instead of seeking happiness, save money on pussy" <– what my GF read
Tomorrow’s headline, “Millenials are single handedly killing the breakfast industry”.
Pro-tip: You can save money on living expenses if you just live in a cardboard box by the roadside and die.
That’s illegal in many places. Illegal to be on a roadside, illegal to kill yourself.
To not get murdered, die right now…
The Wall Street Journal is just shitposting for rich people.
Maybe we should eat billionaires instead
That can’t be sanitary. I mean, who knows what kind of drugs these people take, what kinds of places they have been. People get worried about eating animals that have been given antibiotics, so I can’t imagine that billionaire-meat will get approved for human consumption any time soon. We should probably just euthanize the poor souls and recycle the remains… \s
We’ll get sick either way, so better to just take the short pain.
Turn them into soil. Put them in the ground.
I could never eat human meat 😔
True, Elon probably tastes like meth
Maybe the WSJ has a point; we could save a lot of money if we stopped buying breakfast and just ate the WSJ staff instead
Foodborne illness 🤢
They act like most of us even have time to make breakfast like we’re living in some 90’s sitcom
It’s people like you that make me look like an asshole. Every morning I wake up at 3am to squeeze orange juice, make sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles, 5 omelettes, 40 pancakes, 6lbs of bacon, hash browns, buttered toast, and right after my son comes down the stairs, puts his ball cap on, grabs a single piece of bacon, heads out the door in a rush, I chase him down with a PB&J he inevitably always forgets. But it’s not like I want to waste 40lbe of food per day. Some days I just want my son to sit down and eat the 40lbs of food I prepared. He may think I’m overbearing but I’m really overcaring.
“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.

Science says nothing of the sort, but marketing certainly does.
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.
If you don’t have enough money for bread, buy cake instead!
Great advice with almost no historical downsides, probably!
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.
Your life is hard? Add malnourishment and see if that helps.
