Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I think I marathoned the one you're talking about for a couple months just to have something in the background while I worked (they're relatively young and from Texas).
While he usually didn't go as far to say that eating out was preventing people from buying homes, he always loved to talk about how everyone can save money even if it means 0 treats for years at a time. As if that isn't completely unrealistic. Oh but sure, let's put $100 in the budget for once a month therapy, otherwise the commenters will get mad - what do you mean that's not enough to help you cope with 50-60 hours of work??? And then when someone does come to him already scrapping at the bottom and budgeting to the max (for example, he had a single guardian on there that had to adopt younger family members due to a dysfunctional sister) he just says sorry and then gives them extremely unhelpful advice like get a third job (he ALWAYS tells people to get side gigs and second jobs and this lady already had two jobs, eventually what got me to stop watching ugh) or to look up local resources like food banks for help (she already was).
I only watched as long as I did because he had wealthy shithead libertarians and toxic masculinity guys that would buy 60k trucks and teslas. Assholes that usually made more than enough money but always had mommy and/or employees do all the work for them so they never ended up learning any of the basics themselves. But whenever someone making $50k or less a year comes on... yikes.
