On a serious note though, the entertainment value of Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Spotify are excellent and the accounts can be shared among 4 people. It works out to be less than $10 a month for almost unlimited entertainment.

I read a lot too so Kindle Unlimited is a fantastic deal, although apps like Libby make borrowing ebooks from your local library simple and there's openlibrary.org from the internet archive guys.

This is true, also this generation tends not to pay $60 a month for cable TV, or rent from Blockbuster at $5 a pop.

My comcast cable bill (including internet) was $300 a month before I cut the cord. There just weren't better options until relatively recently, but now there are and it's saving me a ton of money.

I used to work for Blockbuster. People would pay hundreds in late fees routinely. The tapes themselves were paid for after the first rental, the employee wages were from candy and drink sales. That place was a gold mine, they fucked the customers so hard....

Entertainment - yes, but liberal lifestyle in general: no. Starbucks coffee, or an independent but upscale coffee shop, avocado toast, soy milk, i-everything, that stuff is expensive. The liberals habits are very expensive in most cases. They also live (when not in their parents basement) in the trendiest parts of downtowns that are super expensive. Basically, liberals are simply spoiled brats that want everything given to them.

Pretty true, though theres also some falsities... many get payed shit for the same exact job you did back in your 30s

But yes, they are spoiled brats. Gen z is even worse
