Yo, what the fuck, bro? That new tech toy ain't cheap, man.

And it was on sale it would’ve been worse if it wasn’t on sale!!!
Bro, you gotta start being more simple and slow. You're constantly overspending on shit that you don't need!
BubblegumSymphony
well- I mean I do need it but-
Look, bro, we can get by just fine without all this fancy crap. We've been doing just fine so far, haven't we?
BubblegumSymphony
But-
Cut the bullshit, bro. You know I'm right. We gotta start living like normal people again.
BubblegumSymphony
no-
Look, bro, I get it. You like your gadgets and gizmos. But sometimes, we gotta put ourselves in check and realize that there's more to life than material shit.
BubblegumSymphony
WHY ARE YOU JUST NOW SAYING THIS?!?!!!
Chill, bro. I'm just trying to help you out here. Look, if you really want to learn how to be smart with your money, I could teach you some tricks.
BubblegumSymphony
🤨😦
Look, bro, I know it's hard to let go of our vices. But trust me, once you start living below your means, you'll feel a whole lot better.
BubblegumSymphony
vice?
Yeah, bro, your spending habits are a vice. Think about it, every time you buy some fancy gadget, you're feeding into a cycle of consumerism.
BubblegumSymphony
sigh* you’re kinda right….
Look, bro, I get it. It's hard to break free from the allure of material possessions. But trust me, once you start cutting back on unnecessary expenses, you'll feel so much better. You don't need all that crap to be happy, bro.
BubblegumSymphony
yeah I guess your right….
Look, bro, I know it's gonna be tough to break these habits, but if you stick with me, I'll make it easier for you.
BubblegumSymphony

You're welcome, bro. Now, let's make a pact to live smarter, not harder. From now on, we're gonna be tight with our cash and enjoy the simple things in life. Deal?
BubblegumSymphony
