Xanax and wish it was 2020 again
You enjoyed 2020?
My partner and I were laid off December 2019. In February 2020 my government started giving us both a lot of money every month. We were not working from 2020 until 2022, and made money anyway. We spent all of our time together, at home, going out as little as possible, doing everything we loved (we have all of the same hobbies and are homebodies).
Best years of our lives.
Yeah borrowing from the future is fun. Until the future arrives. :/
Whatcha mean!
It’s like living off credit cards. It’s fun until the limit runs out and now you have to pay it all back.
I don’t quite understand. I didn’t have to pay anything back, we just saved a ton of money and bought a bunch of index funds hahaha.
We all paid and are paying it back via inflation.
(At least that’s how it is in my country)
Ahhhhhh alright you’re not wrong at all hahaha. Selfishly, it was the best time for us.
Well we got to see the nations lowest forms of life throw a largely ineffective temper tantrum. What's not to enjoy?
