It's unfortunate as there are several people I'd subscribe to but not on Substack.

Update: I am multiple days in and still going. I did not properly consider how long it would take to document, sort, and store. 😅

This is going to take me sooooo long.

It is a very good deck haha

Pounds?!

Much of which I am not the person to speak about these things in detail as little had been my personal experience growing up or as an intentional single and childfree individual. I've run into some of these challenges especially not having the benefit of a dual income household but not others.

But this is a conversation very rooted in a lot of surrounding infrastructure like wages and housing and childcare and what the obligation is of a government to care for its citizensand to what standard of living.

I'm leaving that typo 😅

Basically in addition to not actually updating the menas of measure, it feels like we also don't update for how society has changed in the ways we have this conversation.

I also have questions about how we define and measure a lot of things between necessities and wants when running these sorts of numbers. Not because the way we do it is wrong but things like using the nuclear family as the bar.

Dog walk thoughts: I can't validate the numbers but I think based on ever increasing cost of living and lack of comparable wage growth, the poverty line as is currently is not sufficient (especially for a family of 4).

I am here to make questionable life choices.

Among the things social media has caused, it's the lack of realization of boundaries. Some thoughts are for the group chat, some are for Discord, some are just to be shared on the phone or in person with your friends, some are to be kept to yourself.

Not every single thought needs to be public.

Can fruit be haunted? Cause if they can, oranges would definitely be one of them

So I need to combine tactics is what I'm hearing
