money

Who knew being an adult would be this challenging?! When I was a kid, I thought I would automatically get my dream job, and of course, my dream salary. I thought it meant being completely independent and jetting off whenever TF I want to exotic locations. Alas, adulting isn't all it's cracked up to be. The people of Twitter take to the platform to communally complain about the struggles of adulting on a weekly basis, and it's abundantly clear that the struggle is REAL, y'all! Check out this week's most relatable adulting tweets. 

We've all been there; when there are three days until payday, and you're eating old spaghetti hoops out the kitchen cupboard that you're pretty sure has been there since 2007. But, have no fear because there's always your overdraft. Oh, wait, you used all of that up at bottomless brunch with the girls on Saturday. Spaghetti hoops with a side of air it is! Anyway, no money for food or electrics means you'll fit into that skirt that's a size too small, right? Silver linings! These memes about being broke AF are relatable on a whole new level, if you're anything like me and can't get a grip on your finances.

As kids, we never knew how draining adulting could be. We imagined adulthood as staying up all night while stuffing our faces with all the junk food in the world without any consequences whatsoever. The concept of 'healthy lifestyle' had yet to enter our vocabulary. Alas, we now know the truth about adulthood. Unfortunately, we have to stick to our own curfews in order to be able to function the next day and hold back on junk food sometimes because that will ultimately lead to a downward spiral from both a physical and emotional standpoint. The people of Twitter know the struggle of adulting too well and take to the platform every week to share their grievances. Check out the best adulting tweets from this week. 

They say money doesn't buy you happiness. I don't know about you, but if I'm going to be miserable, I'd rather do so in a mansion. But what do I know about being rich? Not much, I can tell you that.

But, I do know something a thing or two about funny tweets, and these Twitter gems about money (or a serious lack thereof) are making me chuckle. So, I thought I'd share. You're welcome. 

Going to a supermarket and being faced with hundreds of options can be overwhelming. Knowing whether to go with a well-known branded product, or a cheaper knockoff isn't always easy because no one wants to sacrifice quality. But sometimes, the products are exactly the same and the only difference is the labeling. So, how do you know when this is the case? An AskReddit thread asking people to share their tips on when it's best to buy name brands might help you get a better idea of where you could be saving the bucks.

Kids don't understand a lot about the world, including how cheap or expensive things actually are. Much of this is based on the environment we grew up in and how much price was discussed in front of us, but also the fact that children have innocent and naive minds. A Reddit thread asking people to share the things they wrongly guessed as very expensive or cheap when they were children has shed light on all the things we just had no idea about. Here are some of the replies below. 

Celebs are doing all sorts of great things to raise money for Coronavirus relief these days. Whether it's donating to local food banks or providing medical supplies to hospitals, times like this show just how much good you can do with a big following.
