Saving Is a Joke When You Don’t Make Enough to Begin With
Let’s get one thing straight…
You can’t “save your way to freedom” if you’re not making enough to survive.
I don’t care what some finance bro said on YouTube.
I don’t care what your aunt posted about cutting cable and switching to store-brand peanut butter.
If your paycheck barely covers rent and ramen—saving isn’t a strategy. It’s a f*cking joke.
You’ve heard the advice:
“Skip the $6 coffee.”
“Pack your lunch every day.”
“Cut subscriptions and use coupons!”
Cute.
You’re already skipping lunch half the time.
You haven’t had a fancy latte since 2019.
And you’re still staring down overdrafts by the 14th of every month.
Let’s call it what it is:
You don’t have a spending problem. You have an income problem.
You ever open a budget app and just… laugh?
Because what the hell are you supposed to “organize” when there’s nothing there?
It’s like trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic while it’s sinking.
The problem isn’t your spending habits—it’s that you’re not bringing in enough in the first place.
And I’m not saying don’t be smart with money.
I’m saying you can’t play defense when the offense is broken.
All these financial gurus telling broke people to save more are just rich people LARPing as helpful humans.
“Just put aside 20% of your income.”
Cool. That’s $83.47. And I still owe $118 for utilities. So now what?
You want real financial power?
It doesn’t come from pinching pennies.
It comes from stacking dollars.
What if instead of trying to save $5 a day, you made an extra $50 a day?
What if instead of canceling your Netflix, you learned how to pay for ten Netflix accounts without blinking?
That’s the shift.
That’s the difference between always being on edge vs. building margin in your life.
I was tired of being on the edge.
I was tired of hearing “just be more disciplined” when I was already rationing f*cking protein bars.
So I changed tactics.
I stopped trying to be better at being broke.
And I started learning how to make more money—online, part-time, and on my own damn terms.
You don’t need to invent an app.
You don’t need to start a YouTube channel.
You don’t need to sell your soul to MLMs.
You just need to:
Learn a couple simple online skills
Apply them in real-time to earn even just $500/month extra
Use that income to stop the bleeding (and later—build the empire)
That’s the real financial plan.
That’s what they should have taught in school instead of quadratic equations and how to make a f*cking diorama.
I built SavingSucks because I got sick of pretending that budgeting would fix my broken paycheck.
I needed something that worked now—not in 20 years.
And that’s exactly what I share with the people on my email list.
It’s not a get-rich-quick play.
It’s a get-ahead-faster-than-everyone-else-still-downloading-budget-templates play.
