Money can be stressful, but nothing quite matches the all-encompassing anxiety you get when there's no money to be had. "More money, more problems" was clearly coined by a wealthy capitalist who wanted to keep the little guy down, because it doesn't hold true when you're living paycheck to paycheck with kids to feed, elderly parents to care for, and collectors calling you at all times of the day. The best way to stay sane in that soul-crushing, down-and-out cycle is by adopting a healthy sense of humor and cackling at relatable Tweets like these because sometimes you just have to laugh or else you'll go absolutely crazy. 


(And be sure to check out our previous roundups of hilarious tweets about being broke here, here, and here.)

8.

Everyone says that inflation is cooling, but that's mostly because they ignore little tiny parts of our budget like RENT. Does someone want to tell our landlords that inflation is actually going down and they should lower our rent? Anyone? We didn't think so.

9.

Somehow job responsibilities always increase, but the pay rarely does.
