She suggested the most productive route for people feeling anxious about money is to take in different financial perspectives and make a budget — one that's realistic and shame-free.
Disciplining the working class by weaponizing mental health language. Gonna start 
real drapetomania hours, who's up
"self-comparison and outdated ideas about money" i.e. "get with the times, no one can afford a house you stupid proles"
the outdated idea of being able to afford food
"outdated ideas about money"
yeah the idea that the capitalists pay a fair or living wage is sounding pretty outdated 
The only thing better than communism is whatever liberals fantasize capitalism to be.
All I have to do is say "I am rich" and stacks of cash flow into my wallet. Businessmen are actually super altruistic and are just dying for people without experience to apply to their c-suite positions and make easy money.
She said life transitions, self-comparison, and outdated ideas about money can fuel this perception.
I'm gonna guess the "outdated ideas about money" include "getting paid more as inflation increases" and "having enough to afford a down payment on a home"
While parents can teach their kids valuable lessons about saving, not all the money rules that pertained to Gen Xers and boomers translate to today's economy.
For example, Clayman said, generations growing up in the postwar era were more likely to have pension plans, while retirement is largely self-funded now. Plus, factors like inflation and a higher cost of living can make it harder for younger people to stick to strict saving schedules.
Things that used to be provided for you for free now require you to save money yourself, but also advice about saving money is old-fashioned and you shouldn't listen.
No save! Only consume!
Boomer financial advice:
Mow lawns for a summer and save your earnings to pay for college. Take some extra shifts at the factory and buy a house. Sell it in 20 years for a million dollars and move into a condo in Florida.
Don't forget "constantly tell everyone younger than you how much harder you worked to get here than they could ever imagine."
money dysmorphia
a financial therapist
This isn't what dysmorphia even means. The word they want is dysphoria. But I suppose it fits the bill for pseudoscientific sounding buzzwords that sound official enough to people who aren't inoculated against it.
“Much like gender dysmorphia, money dysmorphia goes away if you simply come to grips with being stuck in your situation” is what I’m getting from the article.
I tried to make a realistic budget once but knowing that I only have $100/month for food made it worse than not knowing.
I suggest fuck you pay me
financial therapist
Not a real job
anyone who's job is some made-up bullshit like this should be forced to work in the mines
Down to the countryside movement but for op-ed writers
She suggested the most productive route for people feeling anxious about money is to take in different financial perspectives and make a budget — one that’s realistic and shame-free.
I did a realistic and shame free budget once and indeed it turned out i can't afford neither shame nor much of anything real.
we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror
we're running out of excuses for the lack of terror
The cure:
So they know that we're barely making do and want us to buy more crap
Honestly, it's fucking unbelievable because between me and my partner, our household income is pretty fucking good
But between having to maintain our house and cars, rising food prices and the general expenses of being alive, it's still damn hard to actually save up anything or invest or whatever else these ghouls want us to do
My insurance finally approved my bank account replacement therapy!
"Money dysmorphia" god I fucking hate capitalists. How about we get rid of the fake job postings polluting the board sites, and how about capitalists actually start paying a living wage before it starts looking more attractive to rob these hookass motherfuckers.
"Outdated ideas about money" like having enough of it to buy a home and retire I assume. Gonna guess that phrase is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Edit:
Very coded language but the concern is exactly over the impossibility to retire. The article mentions both that pension plans are more rare and there is even less disposable income free for retirement savings... as evidence that millenials are worrying over nothing??
Outdated ideas about money like "people should be able to afford things"
outdated ideas about money
And there it is. Oh sure you'll never be able to afford to buy even a 1BR apartment when your parents who made less than you (adjusted for inflation) had a house and 3 kids at your age, but that's just outdated thinking.
Look at these therapists, dog. How am I suppose to get a grip on my mental health?

This article is just Krugman's fucking 'vibe-cession' bullshit with extra steps, and it even kneecaps it's own argument.

Lul, the intensity and frequency of this "be happy with no money but give us your labour" propaganda and gaslighting is getting so insane it might even become funny.
Not to mention that people hired to dish out such marketing are prob just some random minimal wage workers & interns.
just disable the dysmorphia setting on zillow
if the medical community cant treat me with transitioning into wealth then it aint "dysmorphia"
Every time someone brings up “reframing” i feel the urge the put a bullet in their head
The reason capitalism isn't taking of among gen z is that they see themselves as temporarily affluent gig workers.
Are you poor and sad and oppressed with your soul a withered husk, or do you actually live in an amazing wonderful world and you're too crazy to know it? Capitalism really is an abusive household patriarch.
The gaslighting will intensify until workers’ disposition improves!
Why do I have a feeling "outdated ideas" includes "being independent and owning a home on a single income"?
Yeah, I have money dysmorphia. I'm probably worse off than I realize.
Sounds like Trump Derangement Syndrome where if I smell something that stinks it’s my fault.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
Clayman said that while not all advice about money is wrong, it can become harmful if someone starts hoarding money or overworking to try to follow it.
Yes, like billionaires
Millennials: "I can't afford rent, I don't have a billion dollar salary so fuck off."
Boomers: "EVERYONE HAS A BILLION DOLLARS DIPSHIT, IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR FUCKING BEING BORN!"
Sounds like making up a disorder to treat with a made up occupation that's advertising itself as some sort of licensed professional practitioner of a legitimate field... If we had a legitimate government these people would be arrested for maleducation, fraud, and mental healthcare malpractice by trying to tell people 'don't believe your lying eyes' and actively causing harm.
Oh you don’t have any money left after paying rent and food? Have you tried making a budget?
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
