Stress

This should be obvious, but poor people are just too stupid to figure out even the simplest things.
/s
- They are just lazy and eat too much avocado toast. It's obvious.

People ask me what I would do if money wasn't an issue/I had infinite money and I would do the exact same thing I do when unemployed except that I wouldn't be stressing over money and I wouldn't be filling out job applications every day.
Not having a job is more stressful than having one, because at least when you have a job you don't get stressed feeling like a useless piece of shit.
- when you have a job you don’t get stressed feeling like a useless piece of shit.
  I don't feel that way, I only worry about not being able to afford rent. If I have a job (or enough money,) that stress goes away.

Wait, therapists let you drink wine in session?
How am I just finding out about this now??!?!?
- You pay enough to the right therapist you could probably snort cocaine out of their asshole. Student loans are no joke.
  
  I’ve finally actually snorted cocaine out of my partner’s asshole and it was exactly as fantastic as I thought it would be
- Only if you're rich enough
  
  Also bottom left is Irish coffee. This comic is actually about stress-induced alcoholism. 🥂
  Off to get my end-of-workday whisky!

reminds me of when McDonnalds sent a newsletter to all their minimum wage employees on the best gifts to get their au pairs, and pool cleaners, and personal chefs.
- I would love to read that. Would you have a reference? (I failed to find one.)
  
  I can't find the original article, but a lot of places reported on it in 2013

- TIL something horrible.

We paid for a maid service once a month, it’s honestly amazing. And not too expensive ($50/hour). Worth it.
- "Not too expensive"
  "$50 an hour"
  For a lot of people, thats too expensive.
  
  Right?? I don't even break 300 weekly. ):
  EDIT: Sorry, Errer! I wasn't trying to make you feel bad. It it definitely a good deal, tbf! For those who can afford it.
- In Malaysia it's about $300/month for a live in maid (plus food).
- In France it is tax deductible and one or two hours a month can be live saver for people with disabilities.
