62% of employees have reduced their short- and long-term savings contributions amid high inflation and concerns about a possible recession. Moreover, 71% of employees said money-related stress has negatively affected their work and personal lives, a 7% increase from 2021.

And while we at Bored Panda don't have the instruments to change the monetary policy, there is something we can do to help the situation. Have a laugh about it. After all, humor makes everything better, doesn't it? So this time, we invite you to join us in exploring the subreddit 'Frugal Jerk.'

Its 147k members constantly share memes about being poor, often taking things to ridiculously extreme levels to accentuate the painful realities of bills, taxes, and everything else related to personal finances.

"We, the proud few who stand on the cutting edge of frugality. We hold our heads high as we steal toilet paper, shoplift lentils, reuse condoms, syringes, and drink our own piss to save multiple dollars each year," the people behind the online community write in its about section.

So continue scrolling to check everything out and don't miss the chat we had about spending and saving with Doug Nordman, who managed to retire at 41 and now runs the website Military Financial Independence and is the author of The Military Guide to Financial Independence and Retirement.

That is why you get a baby gate or two, and keep that roomba in a pen. Toss it crumbs and popcorn kernals to keep it's need for snacks satiated.

    In my hometown there is a mythical story that some factory workers stole one or two parts from a tractor production line at a time, and eventually stole enough to build themselves a whole tractor. Everyone who worked there at the time (1980s) swears they knew who was doing it, but nobody has ever been identified publicly.

    Nordman told Bored Panda the biggest mistake he sees people make in their early steps toward financial independence is trying too hard.

    "Frugality is challenging and fulfilling, and it's sustainable," he said. "Deprivation has its uses (paying off credit-card debt) but it can lead to burnout. Strive for work/life balance, lead a quality of life that makes you enjoy the journey, and put your investing in autopilot."

    It's easy to form bad financial habits. For example, a 2021 study found that panic buying transformed into impulsive buying.

    The survey of 2,000 online shoppers, commissioned by Slickdeals and conducted by OnePoll discovered that Americans impulsively spend an average of $276 every month. (That adds up to an extra $3,312 spent every year and about $198,720 in a lifetime.)

    The most common spontaneous emotional purchases were food and groceries (48%), household items (42%), clothing (40%), and coffee (33%).

So i told her to write me up if it was a formal complaint and i never heard about the matter ever since.

As a supervisor, any worker making unkind comments to another worker about pooping at work will have to deal with me. Which will not go well for them.

    Many, many moons ago a friend of mine invited me to brunch. I was quite puzzled when we arrived at K**b Hill and my friend made a beeline for the front doors. Perplexed, I asked, ‘ where is the restaurant?’ With a flourish she pointed to the doors of the entrance. Once inside, it was aisles and aisles of groceries on at least one story industrial metal shelving. It was remarkable how many ENTIRE families there were pushing shipping carts with one of two items. Instead of muzac all that could be heard was the sound of chewing!!! Almost everyone inside of this cavernous grocery store was meandering through the aisles…. Eating!!! The few employees we encountered were also eating. People were very conscientious too! If we approached a shelf where someone was making a sandwich or who had an open package of eg. crackers there would either take so d and leave the open box in front of us or offer us some!!! I was ASTOUNDED. Needless to say locations began…

    Pro tip: Defer his second birthday for another year. In the meantime, teach him rudimentary reading/math skills and other stuff. By the time he enters kindergarten, your 'four-year-old' (who's actually five at this point) will be more academically advanced than his peers and the teachers will assume he's gifted. If you're worried he'll be taller than his classmates, limit his diet to non-nutritional food to keep his height down. That's what I did with my three boys. Although it would also work for girls.

    My dad was lied to about his age so that they could get him into school early - apparently he was a nightmare they wanted to have some space from. When he found out they gave him two birthdays to make up for it.

    Imagine, if this were anothr post about how he battled addiction, or depression, or whatnot, nobody would dare make fun of his teeth or nose-ring. Everyone would comment on his happy smile. WTF does it matter if the guy has tattoos, a nosering, has his hair long and bad teeth? Maybe he got in a fight or an accident and they broke, or he's waiting for the dentalwork to continue. It takes a long time, if you got implants to fix the new teeth, since your jawbone needs to heal from being drilled into and having metal sticks screwed in there. And then it takes time until your new dentures are ready and fitted. So unless you know anything about the circumstances, how about we focus on the matter at hand! Dipshits, all of you!

    Bullets still have a killing velocity when they come down unless you fire directly 90 degrees into the air [the only way to get a bullet to reach "terminal velocity" thus making is no longer "deadly], which the human hand is simply not adept at doing [the experiments I've seen where this is done always uses a special rig/contraption]. Firing into the air is literally just as dangerous as just firing "In no particular direction." - Someone "may or may not die" - Same result. If you're going to fire at gun at all, do it at a shooting range or something..

    Try having to buy gluten free bread! It runs between $5 - $8 for a 14 oz loaf. And you don't want the $5 one as it's dry and crumbly, not to mention it tastes like cardboard. They've improved a lot the last few years but that comes at a cost.

    For investing-specific conversations and news, over 2.1 million users turn to r/investing. (That subreddit's membership grew 83% between June 2020 and 2021.)

    Then there's the subreddit r/personalfinance with a whopping 16.6 million-member army that hosts conversations about anything and everything related to spending, earning, saving, and investing.

    So there's much more than memes to discover. Although these are savage, not gonna lie.

I have never called it something else, but apparently I didn’t actually know what a jacuzzi was either… is it seriously just a container??

    Last month some poor lady pulled into my driveway with a hole in her tire the size of a golf ball. I helped her put her spare on but the rest of her tires were really low on tread. she tried to pay me for my help, I told her to spend it on new tires. I hope she made it where she was headed safely.

    There are cheaper alternatives for salt and wet tissues. Don't do it half way, Zayn.

    I know. Have you seen the price of tissues ? Go into fast food place, use their bathroom ( free water and paper ) then go over and get some napkins, free salt and pepper. If your lucky, score some creamers. Amature.

    I dropped half the letters from my name to save $15,000 a century. I sold two ribs to be used as proxies for wealthy oil barons. My head has been converted into advertising space.

    Replying to you from the lentil camps. It's so dry and arid here, I fear I may not last. Bucholz fell into a lentil pit and suffocated last week. Tex... oh my god, Tex. The lentil wolves got him. I'm scared. Tell my wife she can have my Tim Horton's mug.

    Last night, I fell asleep to a yt documentary telling me that the world relies on China for rare earth elements, and technology as we know it would be doomed if anything happened to the supply chain. So, tonight, I've decided to fall asleep to cartoons!

    True fact! Penicillin is a bread mould. Of course, there are other bread moulds and some of them are carcinogenic...but this is why a mouldy bread poultice is a traditional treatment for an infected wound.
