      People like these are so threatened by those around them that they’ll shame poor people for being poor as it doesn’t conform to their worldview.

    Man, my house is less than half theirs in size. Costs more than double but you keep calling me out for doing stuff.

    All i’m doing is trying to not become a full time working homeless man.

    “As the national housing crisis continues, more and more people are leaving behind the idea of reserving an extra room for guests.”

    How rude of us for not getting our priorities right during a literal crisis.

    I had a disagreement with my partner about this. We were finally able to move into a place with a little more room and they wanted to reserve a whole ass room for “guests” and I’m like “no one has stayed with us in like eight years.”

    Neither of us won, so there’s an unusable room because there’s a mattress shoved in the corner and I can’t use the rowing machine because there’s no room.

        I wish I could afford a Murphy bed. They’re much more expensive than just our old mattress and box spring lol, and also I always feel wasteful throwing away a mattress
