I bought the ticket for the grand final LA for 500$ cuz of the god damn scalper. They fricking sold out all of the tickets in 3 minutes and 500$ is actually the cheapest one I found. The hotel cost me 200$ a night and for the food I have a budget of 350$ for 3 days. The plane ticket cost me 250$ to either way I just spent 1/5 of my salary for 3 days.
I just spent 1/5 of my salary for 3 days.
and people whine and protest about the cost of living in the first world (and developing countries), when they choose to spend a significant portion of their earnings on entertainment and leisure.
sure you can complain about financial inequality, but when you just become an armchair activist and don't do anything about it, who's really to blame here? its not just about calling it out, its about walking the walk.
this is why I know protesting does nothing. its because these people are just hypocrites and don't actually do anything to change their situation.
You've questioned my compassion for the disadvantaged, but let's turn that lens back on you: do you care about your lineage? Your progeny? Do you see yourself living in a nursing home, alone, having spent your earnings on fleeting experiences and momentary pleasures?
Ask yourself: who creates the entertainment you indulge in?
Is it crafted by the rich or the poor?
Does the machine of entertainment truly care about the disadvantaged,
or is it more concerned with keeping you trapped in a cycle of spending?
I'm not advocating for a life devoid of joy, spent pinching pennies until your fingers bleed. Instead, I'm calling for responsible financial decisions. Far too many people are financially irresponsible, quick to point fingers at external entities while ignoring their own habits of momentary pleasures, while the true pleasure lies in long term, the journey instead of the result.
By all means, purchase that exorbitantly priced ticket if it brings you happiness. But don't be surprised when the world doesn't change to accommodate the choices you've made. Overpriced leisure today could mean a less secure tomorrow.
Yes, I acknowledge the injustices prevalent in our financial structures. Pinning all our problems on the affluent may offer an emotional release, but it barely scratches the surface of your immediate financial realities.
Consider this: to the world's billionaires, we may be nothing more than digits in their vast fortunes. But in our personal narratives, we are at the POV of our own lives. The utility bills don't care about our ideals. Life doesn't pause for our protests. Pouring energy into the fortunes of the elite risks diverting attention from our personal financial stability.
dont look at the title look at the message:

it's basically what you're saying but for the average person, instead of iran.
I waste my money not because I want to look or feel rich but rather because I can spend that money on entertainment without impacting my daily life. I whine because I can use that money to make more money; this is one of the reasons why I never once was in debt. I may waste 1/5 of my salary, but I only spend a small portion of my monthly income. I work two jobs not because I need money but because I love working, especially when I have much free time. While I may be from a developing country, I study and work in multiple developed countries, and I've met more people that splurge their money in any developed country than where I'm from since they're though since childhood to understand the value of money.
