I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there’s ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I’m legitimately fucked. I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

      Why are you ordering Sony XM4s if you’re “broke”? Sounds like you’re just a scumbag who wants to justify being a scum bag to society.

        If I didn’t have a laptop or the money to buy one, I’d steal one because I wouldn’t be able to make money without one. Is a laptop a human right? No, not even close. Am I able to feed myself without access to a computer? Not really, no.

        Lol how does that make him a scumbag to society? He’s not hurting the rest of the herd by doing this.

          When you steal, somebody gets hurt. If you encourage many people to steal, employers go bankrupt or have to downsize, letting employees go. But XM4 is a human right?

              How is stealing a product any different than wage theft from large corporations

              It’s not different, both are unethical and illegal.

              In my og comment I clearly stated that when people feel like society isn’t working for them then what use is following the rules.

              So if you feel you’re entitled to a luxurious lifestyle without having to work for it, you can steal and rob?

              FYI: It’s easier to get some XM4s to sell for bills and food than to steal a whole food shop.

              So, did you sell those for bills and food or did you use them?
