Economists hate this one SECRET HACK you can do to avoid poordom. Among investmentology specialists it is a well guarded secret that switching to a making money framework instead of the popular losing money framework has a long term net positive effect on your private economy.

I'm not religious, but I do feel like writing something like this is comparable to selling your soul to the devil. The person who wrote this abandoned their humanity for capitalists and they should be ashamed.

Pro-tip: You can save money on living expenses if you just live in a cardboard box by the roadside and die.

[–] ganove@feddit.de 22 points 2 years ago

Please not by the roadside, noone wants to see your progress to absolute freedom.

[–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

That’s illegal in many places. Illegal to be on a roadside, illegal to kill yourself.

Aside from being tone deaf, I think this is bad advice. Common breakfast foods are fairly cheap comparatively and I'm pretty sure most nutritionists recommend eating something for breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. If I were skipping/reducing a meal, it would be lunch.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Gluconeogenesis does that well enough.

Plenty of people don't eat breakfast. I'll be nauseous for the rest of the day if I have anything before noon.

Maybe the WSJ has a point; we could save a lot of money if we stopped buying breakfast and just ate the WSJ staff instead

[–] IDontHavePantsOn@lemm.ee 46 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's people like you that make me look like an asshole. Every morning I wake up at 3am to squeeze orange juice, make sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles, 5 omelettes, 40 pancakes, 6lbs of bacon, hash browns, buttered toast, and right after my son comes down the stairs, puts his ball cap on, grabs a single piece of bacon, heads out the door in a rush, I chase him down with a PB&J he inevitably always forgets. But it's not like I want to waste 40lbe of food per day. Some days I just want my son to sit down and eat the 40lbs of food I prepared. He may think I'm overbearing but I'm really overcaring.

Off topic but I don't think breakfast is any more or less important than a meal any other time of the day. Most days I only eat one big meal around dinnertime and maybe have a few bites of some snack throughout the day. I've been like that for years now it started from doing 12 hour construction shifts where I'd just work all day with a coffee and maybe an apple or something then eat a big meal once I was home. I don't do construction anymore but the way I eat stuck with me. It's probably worth pointing out that I'm very fit and a healthy bodyweight (5'10 152lbs) and I don't suffer any negative effects from living like this. I'd say I'm healthier than 90% of the people I know.

Stupid article aside, a large filling breakfast being good for you and the whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a complete and utter lie invented for advertisement.

It's fun and games, but lately I've seen 2 colleagues eating from the office kitchen the leftovers of extra bread and cream cheese, instead of ordering. It's actually sad.
