      I frequently listen to my coworkers/mutuals list how many streaming services they have and how much they cost a month, leaving the proper maths to only to the listeners because they won’t hear the real bill… I had to quit one that cost “only” 19€ per month because I wasn’t able to afford it anymore!

        Literal NPCs lol. How can people be this financially illiterate? It’s like NOT consuming sth is an idea that never crosses their minds. Like they need to have everything, even if they don’t need it.

        i cant imagine paying for 5+streaming which would easly be 100+, plus most of the shows/movies, they allocate all the resources to that one show but neglecting another.

          Yeah, same. Everything is like 20-25 per month if not more, it just doesn’t make sense. Or 10-15 WITH ADS? Why would I pay for watching ads? But they say they have to have all the +5 services, because they watch one, spouse the other and the kids want these…
