Hilarious Tweets About Money We Can All Relate To

Money is something that everyone can relate to. Whether that's not having enough of it, wanting more of it, or enjoying a big payout, it’s likely everyone's experienced feelings of some sort related to money. It's impossible not to when cash plays such a significant influence in our everyday lives.

Money can decide things like whether a person goes on vacation, has a roof over their head, or even gets to eat on any given day. It plays such a substantial role in our lives that people have made plenty of honest and hilarious tweets about money. In fact, they're actually pretty relatable.

What millennial doesn't look at their bank account and think this?

If there's something many millennials dread, it's having to look at their bank account. If you know that there's not a lot of money in there, it's easier to pretend otherwise when you don't look at your statement. You can imagine for a second that you are as rich as you feel and not struggling to stay afloat.

That's why this might be one of the funniest tweets about money. For those people who do end up looking at their account, it's very easy to feel like someone else must be responsible for the lack of cash. You know deep down that you only have yourself to blame, but you can still pretend it isn't all your doing.

It really does feel like hidden fees are everywhere these days

Experiences are essential in life. The more of them you have, the more memories you make, thereby increasing the likelihood of you living what you might consider a fulfilling life. Unfortunately, experiences aren't cheap. As one of these hilarious tweets about money shows, the cash you spend on these experiences can sometimes be a complete ripoff.

While Michael is exaggerating here, he draws attention to the fact that some places charge too many hidden fees. He makes an example of buying a concert ticket where the cost of actually seeing someone perform live is only a fraction of what a person has to pay. We wouldn't be surprised if some of these fees were genuine.

Money saving tips that don't understand their audience will never be helpful

Money struggles are so commonplace that it's never hard to find somewhere advertising tips on how to save money. These can be genuinely helpful, although it all depends on the perspective of the writer. If someone's from an older generation and offers advice to millennials and younger, there might be a disconnect between their perception and reality.

This is one pint that really drives that point home. This person highlights how some people assume that those struggling with money only have problems because they spend too much on certain things. The reality for this person is that they don't pay $5 for coffee every day, so writing tips assuming that they do won't help.

A game of millennial Monopoly isn't fun for all the family

Sometimes, you have to laugh because otherwise, you'll cry. That's certainly the vibe we get from some of these candid tweets about money - this one in particular. It compares life for millennials to playing a game of Monopoly, only there are a few changes to the rules. These include having no money and not being able to afford anything.

While this might be an extreme take on things, it might just be the sad reality for plenty of millennials. Not when it's so expensive to buy homes these days. The best bit? Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse in this version, the entire board gets set on fire just for the fun of it.

Having your debit card stolen is less concerning when there's nothing in your bank account

It can feel like there are criminals everywhere nowadays. People constantly have to be alert for suspicious activity, both when they're out of the house and when they're on their computers. Unfortunately for someone, he ended up being a victim of a crime when someone managed to steal their debit card. However, there was an upside.

It seems that Steve's money struggles meant that the thief didn't really benefit from stealing the card. When they tried to book a room using it, they got denied because there were "insufficient funds" in the account. It probably made Steve grateful to be broke for the first time ever, which is understandable. We'd probably feel the same way.

Sometimes the universe just wants to make you feel like you have no money

Plenty of people understand the hardship of not having enough money. However, not everyone is struggling to make it from paycheck to paycheck. There are people out there who do have money, although the universe sometimes tries to make them feel like they don't. Jay knows what we're talking about, judging by one of his posts.

When he went to pay for something, his card declined, even though he had money in his account. That experience probably made him panic for a second and think all sorts of concerning thoughts. What if he doesn't have as much as he thought? What if someone's taken his money somehow? That's not a pleasant situation to be in.

Honest tweets can really hit home when we all experience the same struggle

When people ask why someone doesn't have enough money, there are several good answers. We'd say the cost of everything is probably the best. When you consider how much some essentials cost, it's perhaps no wonder that entire generations seem unable to keep much in their accounts. This person really outlines the problem for the world to enjoy.

When things like towels and bedding are setting people back $49.99 and $200, things become a real issue. While they might be like one-off payments that you won't need to make again - at least for several years - that's still a lot to put down at once. After all, people still need to pay for food and bills.

There was once a time when people could buy homes just by going to work

The dream for many people is to eventually be able to buy a home and not have to worry about wasting money on rent. Unfortunately, that's a dream that more and more people are struggling to turn into a reality. The cost of house prices - combined with how expensive everything else now is - just makes it so difficult.

It hurts to realize you can't afford a home, especially when you consider that it didn't used to be such a problem. As one person points out to everyone, it wasn't too long ago that people could buy a home just using money they made from their job. Why can’t we know we’re in the good times before they’re gone?

Most alumni aren't going to donate to their college when they can't afford to pay off their loans

The college experience is something that many people yearn for when they finish high school. However, there is a big downside to spending several more years in education, and we're not talking about all the studying. College fees can be ridiculously expensive, and it takes years of work to pay it all back, especially with added interest.

That's why this person finds it hilarious that colleges ask for former students to send them donations. When so many alumni can't even afford to pay back their loans, they're not going to turn around and just hand what's left of their money to their college. These institutions are definitely barking up the wrong tree with most of their graduates.

For some kids, having a roof over their head was the extent of their allowance

Raise your hand if you received an allowance as a kid? Maybe you got this because your parents had the money to spare, or maybe you did chores to earn some extra cash? Whatever the situation, plenty of people probably had an allowance during their childhood. However, plenty doesn't mean everyone, as this reply demonstrates.

This person didn't receive an allowance. It seems their parents felt that having a roof over their head was all they needed as a child. While it's true that having food and shelter provided for is more important, what kid doesn't want extra cash? Sometimes, we have no choice but to be thankful for a home.

There are some secrets that are worth keeping from your parents

Everyone seems to have an opinion on money. What that opinion is can be influenced by a person's past relationship with their finances. If someone has spent years struggling to make ends meet, they're more likely to be critical when they see someone spending more than they should on something. That appears to be the situation here.

Miracle's mother may well understand the value of a dollar, given she's a parent. So, who could blame her for being somewhat judgy whenever she finds her kid spending too much on something? Still, no one wants to get in trouble for splurging, especially from their mom. So, we can also understand Miracle wanting to keep things on the DL.

If only it were possible to print more money in a recession

There's far too much talk of a financial crisis and recession going on recently. We know the situation is serious, but many people want to forget for a moment that all this is going on. After all, we've already had more than enough recessions to last a lifetime. No one's looking for a repeat of 2008.

Recessions would be a lot easier to face if we could just print a bunch more money so that there was enough to go around. So why can’t we? While it’s a simple answer, it might not be that easy to put into practice. It didn’t stop someone from sharing their hilarious former thoughts about fixing the nation, though.

After spending so much on rent, it's natural to want to get your money's worth

There are several reasons why people don't particularly enjoy renting a place. Aside from the fact that the property isn't theirs, they also have to deal with losing so much money on rent every month. That can be a significant chunk of someone's paycheck, leaving them with little to tide them over until the next payday.

It's for this reason that we can relate to personal and funny tweets about money like this one. After spending so much on the rent, this person apparently wanted to get their money's worth which is why they didn't plan on going out. In reality, they might not have had the funds to spend a night on the town.

Just do what this kid did with her lemonade stand when people don’t tip

It's almost a tradition for kids to run a lemonade stand when they want to earn some money. So many childhoods have been spent setting up a little stand on the sidewalk and offering cheap drinks to everyone who comes past. Well, most of them have been cheap anyway. It seems Eric's daughter hasn't been so generous.

Whenever someone handed over more than they owed, she just interpreted the extra money as a tip and thanked them for it. It apparently helped her earn $110 in an hour, probably making it one of the most financially successful lemonade stands around. Evidently, she understood the value of money and did what she could to get more of it.

Most people seem to have the same experience when it comes to using card machines

It's become normal for most people to make purchases by card nowadays. Things were already trending in that direction before the last few years, but they’ve gone further than ever imagined in recent times. With card payments now the norm, card readers are more important than ever, and it seems some people are having very interesting experiences with them.

Someone finally put into words what plenty of us have been feeling this entire time. Why do card machines have to be so aggressive? It almost feels like we’re one step away from having to make a small sacrifice before we’re deemed worthy enough to use one again. At least we’re not alone in our thoughts, right?

You know you're an adult when you search around for any possible discount

Finding little ways to save money can sometimes make the biggest difference. After all, if you do enough of these, those quarters you saved here and there can build up to quite a lot of money. Of course, living like this isn't always fun, especially if you're constantly on the lookout for any and every discount.

Gracie gets it. Her admission that putting something back because there's a similar product that's cheaper by a quarter is highly relatable. She refers to this as a sign of adulting, and she's not wrong. These are the things you have to consider once you get older. At least hilarious money tweets like these ease the pain.

Causing a scene might be the ultimate dessert for any dinner date

People tend to get pretty creative when they don't have two coins to rub together. Given that the alternative is starving, why wouldn't they? This person evidently understands what it's like not to have much money, and it seems they came up with a pretty good system for getting regular meals without having to worry about cash.

Apparently, he and a friend would dine somewhere expensive and start fighting after eating. Their actions would typically get them thrown out, which led to staff forgetting to charge them for the bill. We wouldn't say it's a foolproof strategy, but it must have worked numerous times for him to share his wisdom with the world.

Spending money before you have it is a surefire way to never save anything

Most people who are employed eagerly await payday. Why wouldn't they? When you know that a bunch of money is about to come flooding into your bank account, what's not to get excited about? Unfortunately, it seems that some people might get a little too excited, judging by how plenty of us spend it before it’s even ours.

We appreciate this person at least understands where he's going wrong with money. He knows that he'd probably be a lot better at saving it if he wasn't already spending it all in his head before reaching payday. Every month must be a nightmare to get through if most of his cash is gone almost as soon as it arrives.

Owning a car usually comes with far too many unexpected expenses 

Owning a house isn't the only thing that many people dream about. Plenty also crave having a car because it gives them more freedom to move around and go where they want. Fortunately, it's typically easier to achieve this dream than the one of buying a house. That doesn't mean it's without its pitfalls, though.

A major downside of owning a car is that you have a lot of regular expenses to deal with, from fuel to checkups. As someone hilariously pointed out, sometimes you end up having to pay a bunch of cash without really knowing why. It makes saving money an absolute nightmare, but at least our car is happy - for now.

Seeing what all of their colleagues make can really open a person's eyes

A person's salary tells an employee how much they're worth in the company's eyes. The lower someone is paid, the less valued they feel, especially if there's a significant wage divide throughout the office. That's why this woman's actions had the potential to cause some real problems because she allowed everyone to see who was getting paid what.

Without knowing what was on that list, it's hard to say exactly how things might have played out. It's probably not hard to imagine that there were some strong feelings after her former colleagues saw what was on that paper, though. Here's hoping that it inspired their employer to make some salary changes for the better.

Not all honest tweets about money are motivational - some are a cry for help

When people write personal tweets about money, they sometimes try to make them motivational. That way, others who might be experiencing hardship can have faith that things will get better. Sadly, that's not what this person did. The further you get into the post, the more you realize this isn’t motivation - it’s a cry for help.

They shared that two years ago, they only had £32 in their bank account, which was about $41. Fast forward those two years, and instead of suddenly having a lot of money, as you might expect, they actually have less. They're now down to £7, or $8.50, hence why they might need a little boost to their finances.

If cooking wasn't such a chore, it might be easier to save money

There's a big difference between people who enjoy cooking because they enjoy it and people who do it because they need to eat. Anyone in the latter category likely understands the struggle of returning home from work and having to find the motivation to cook. It's not easy, which is why such people end up ordering takeout.

The downside of this is that it costs money and is a waste of the food already in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, it's hard to acknowledge that ordering in isn't a good idea when you're exhausted from work and can't bear the thought of having to cook. We guess that will be a problem for next month’s paycheck…

Expensive medical bills are one of the biggest slaps into reality

There are a lot of people who don't particularly care for the US health service. It's not that they don't appreciate the work that doctors and nurses do day after day, they just can't stand how much they have to pay for their help. No one should have to spend so much money just for the privilege of staying alive.

This guy was bitten by a snake and apparently walked away with a bill amounting to over $150,000. If people can't afford to put a downpayment on a house, they certainly can't cover eye-watering costs like this. This is one of those brutal tweets about money that might really make you worry about what the future holds.

When borrowing money from someone, don't forget to pay it back

In an ideal world, no one would need to borrow money from someone else. Unfortunately, this isn't a utopia. So, there are plenty of situations where people who are struggling financially need a helping hand. This might be from a loan company, a close friend, or a family member. Regardless, whoever gives out the money typically expects it back eventually.

Bella is evidently someone who's borrowed money before and felt the pressure to have to pay it back. She wrote about how rude it is to be reminded that she needed to do it. However, as Monrowe pointed out, it can also be rude to have to remind someone to repay what they owe when they take too long.

Sometimes employers seem happy to give more money to everyone except their workers

It's a sad truth that plenty of employees don't feel like their bosses value them enough. When you devote hours of your week to your job, you want to feel like it means something. Unfortunately, if your employer doesn't care about you, it's hard to gain that satisfaction. This is something someone seems to know all too well.

They make the comparison between how businesses react when an employee wants more money compared to suppliers. The notion that the people in charge would rather pay more to everyone apart from their workers isn't a pleasant thought. However, situations like this aren't necessarily a rarity in real life; it’s just something that hits hard sometimes.

Window shopping is a great way to feel like you have money when you're broke

Window shopping has become a favorite pastime of many, particularly millennials who don't have enough money to spend. Just because you don't have much money in the bank, though, that doesn't mean you can't pretend like you can afford stuff. That extends to more than just clothes and gadgets too. Plenty of people pass the time doing it with houses.

This is one such person, and it seems they have a very particular taste regarding interior design. They can't help but scrutinize the properties they look at online as though they're genuinely trying to find somewhere good to live. They just apparently like to overlook the small fact that they have very little in the bank account.

Some people have more money than you have seconds left to live

Comparing how much money you have to other people is never a good idea. If you're relatively low on funds, you're only going to feel depressed when you see how relatively loaded others are next to you. That's especially the case if you look into the wealth of the world's richest people, whose bank accounts are bursting with money.

As the UberFacts account pointed out, people like Bill Gates are so rich that his wealth likely equates to more than the seconds you have left in your life. It's quite a sobering thought, and we agree with this reply that said the account really didn't have to go there. Still, it's an interesting fact, at least.

Few things feel as good as receiving a paycheck with a lot of money

Money might be hard to come by for a lot of us, but not everyone is struggling to make ends meet. Some people are actually doing pretty well for themselves and finding that years of studying and hard work are actually paying off for them. This person seems to be one of them, judging by their hilarious post.

This one was apparently posted after they received their first paycheck as a qualified lawyer. Evidently, they were extremely pleased with the amount of money that entered their bank account, especially knowing that they'd be getting more of the same in a fortnight. The sudden wealth seemed to go to their head, although we're sure they were just joking.

Weddings are special occasions, but they're not always worth going into debt

Many people grow up imagining that they'll get married one day. Plenty ultimately follow through with that, throwing a special ceremony that celebrates the love they've found with someone else. Unfortunately, as wonderful as a wedding can be, it's not always easy to throw one that's affordable, especially if you're looking to have a big ceremony with plenty of people.

It's ultimately your decision how much you feel a wedding is worth. However, this tweet does make a good point that a nice wedding doesn't necessarily justify being in debt for years. Of course, this is probably one of the more divisive brutal tweets about money because not everyone thinks a wedding is just a “party and a dress.”

Pretending to afford something when you can't is a great way to avoid judgment

Money plays such an essential part in everyone's life that plenty of people feel embarrassed when they don't have enough of it. A big problem with society is this notion that someone should feel ashamed when they can't afford something, even though their lack of funds might not be their fault. It's simply not on.

Thankfully, someone at least manages to see the lighter side of the situation. He brings up a scenario that many people can probably relate to - being afraid to walk straight out of a store when you realize you can't afford anything. Most people tend to wait a little while before they bail without looking back.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can make life a lot easier

Have you ever complained about money to someone and received the response that money isn't everything? It's a common saying that people like to throw out - along with money can't buy you happiness - as a reminder that there's much more to life than just having cash. Unfortunately, it often falls on deaf ears for good reason.

Money might not be the source of happiness, but it ensures someone has a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and can pay the bills. As someone points out, while cash can't buy happiness, it does make it easier to get through the day without feeling so miserable. We'd love the opportunity to cry in a  Porsche.

This is why you shouldn't accuse someone of doing something you might do yourself

Everyone seems to have an opinion on how to resolve the issues around saving money, but not all of them are welcome. For instance, plenty of millennials are tired of being given advice by older generations who don't actually understand how they live their life. A lot of their advice seems to be based on false assumptions.

Someone highlights one of these assumptions in one of these brutally honest tweets about money. She says that millennials get accused of spending "all their money on luxuries" by people who insist on having an expensive set of plates along with their regular ones. In her eyes, the older generations are just as bad at buying luxuries, if not worse.

It's hard not to feel like college is the only option sometimes

It's often horrifying to think how much the average student may owe in loans throughout their life. The number is terrifying enough to scare plenty of people away from ever going to college, and understandably so. While college might be an incredible experience for many students, all those friends and parties might not necessarily be worth a lifetime of repayments.

The problem is that plenty of people struggle to build a career without a degree behind them. While some might be interested in setting up their own business straight out of high school, their chances of getting a loan for that are pretty slim. That's despite how happy the government is to give much bigger loans to students.

Using an ATM might not be so necessary anymore, but the experience can still be stressful

With card payments being the norm now, people don't tend to need ATMs that often anymore. However, that doesn't mean they're obsolete. There are still plenty of occasions where you might need to use physical cash rather than transferring money via your card. So, a trip to the ATM is still essential every now and again.

Of course, as one of these hilarious money tweets points out, it can be quite a stressful experience. You don't want to risk doing anything wrong and potentially making it possible for others to steal your money. We wonder if that’s what we really look like as we give the ATM the hardest stare of our lives.

Sometimes the only thief you have to worry about at the ATM is the machine itself

Speaking of ATMs, there are good reasons why people don't always like to use them anymore, and not just because card payments are possible in most places. It's relatively common for these machines to charge a withdrawal fee when taking money out. This person was apparently charged $3.50 for it, although some machines can go as high as $10.

Given how much they had to pay, they apparently considered it ironic that the ATM told them to cover their pin. In their eyes, the only person trying to steal their money was the machine itself. Could you imagine if card payments weren't the norm and you had to pay $3.50 every time you wanted to get money out?

Doing taxes as a single person with no dependants can feel like a punishment

Most people hate doing their taxes. Even those who work in accounting probably aren't always a huge fan of them. Of course, it's not simply the stress of trying to get everything right and avoid a penalty that makes taxes such a nightmare. There's also the feeling that you're being stolen from to deal with, too.

While plenty of people complain that having children can cost a fortune, those without any dependents don’t get off easy. The best bit? The IRS really likes to punish you if you don’t have a significant other, too. Isn’t it great when even the government reminds you that you’re alone? Yeah, that’s what we thought.

This guy had a great way of making quick money until he was found out

Sometimes you have to appreciate the things that people will legally do to get their hands on more money. We reckon that this person's brother could have a great career as a salesman because he seems to know how to win people over with his words. After all, he convinced four members of his family to give him money.

It was a genius idea telling people that he'd set up a bank account and wanted to make sure it was working by having someone send him some money. The fact that he managed to get his sister, mom, grandmother, and aunt to all play along was incredibly fortunate. It's too bad they found out what he'd done.

You know a thief's a real charmer when they tip badly with stolen money

When you don't have a lot of money to begin with, it's a real nightmare when your card goes missing. The panic that someone might have taken it and started using it for their own gain can be a real fear. That's why plenty of people are quick to cancel any of their cards as soon as they vanish.

Apparently, one person wasn't quick enough to do that because someone ended up having a $60 meal at his expense. It was upsetting, but it wasn't the stealing of his money that angered him the most. Instead, it was the fact that the thief only tipped the server $4. They weren't paying with their own money and were still stingy.

Why are no two college experiences the same anymore?

It can be confusing when you see people who should be in the same situation as you, yet they're living their lives completely differently. Are they doing something smarter with their finances that you're not, or are they being completely reckless and ignoring the serious consequences that might be coming their way very soon? It’s tough to tell.

We suppose it differs from person to person, although when it comes to college students, it usually tends to be the latter. We can certainly understand why this person would be confused that other people their age are traveling the world when money should be tight. However, there's a decent chance their global exploits will come back to bite them.

It's not just inflation making things more expensive; it's "greedy" landlords as well

We're very much here for Liz's brutally honest tweets about money because she makes some excellent points. It's true that a lot of older generations tend to blame millennials for not being able to afford homes that they could afford just fine when they were younger. However, things are very different now, and not just because of inflation.

As she reveals here, her first apartment cost her $310 per month, an amount that would have been equal to $850 when she wrote that post. However, that wasn't how much the apartment now costs to live in. Instead, it was almost double that at $1,600. Apparently, the only person to blame for that is the "greedy" landlord.

A kid using his allowance to resolve financial issues isn't as heartwarming as it seems

Have you ever read a story that seemed sweet but then realized it wasn't as heartwarming as it appeared? One person has, and she isn't here for it in the slightest. While the story of a nine-year-old using his allowance to pay his class' lunch debt might seem generous, why did he have to do it in the first place?

As she points out, it's not heartwarming that a child had to clean up a mess apparently made by adults. He's only nine and should be allowed to enjoy being a kid without having to worry about financial responsibilities like an adult. He'll probably have enough worries when he's older, which is why posts like these hit hard.

It should be common courtesy for the salary to be included in all job descriptions

When you don't love your job, there are two things you can do. You can either find a way to make it better or look for something elsewhere. The problem with the latter is that you might have to attend interviews on company time. It can sometimes be difficult getting away with this without your current employer to find out.

That's why this person made the point that all job descriptions should include a salary in one of their brutally honest tweets about money. At least with this, people will know whether the position they're applying for is financially worthwhile or not. That way, they don't risk losing their current position by interviewing for a job that's worth less money.

Who knew that the simple solution to all your money worries was simply to "be rich?"

Anyone who says that there's no such thing as bad financial advice is definitely mistaken. There's a lot of bad advice out there that can have some serious consequences if followed. Of course, not all bad advice is dangerous - sometimes it's just stupid. Twitter seemed to feel like this advice by MarketWatch fell into that category.

There were plenty of hilarious tweets about money advice offered by MarketWatch, which pointed out how unrealistic their suggestions were. Whoever the retirement experts were that they spoke to, they might want to consider a new job based on the responses this tweet received. Of course, Mark is right; a good way to improve your finances is to “be rich.”

Not everyone is interested in hearing what people have to say about cryptocurrency

Most millennials have enough on their plate to worry about money-wise without adding anything else to the mix. Unfortunately, the rise of cryptocurrency in recent years has raised a lot of questions and possibilities regarding people's finances. Is crypto worth the investment? Is it the solution we've been waiting for, or is it just a disaster in the making?

To be honest; it's hard to answer those questions when you don't even understand cryptocurrency, which is an issue for many people. While some do try to explain it, it typically goes in one ear and out the other. Someone is seemigly tired of said people, which is why she plans to just compare it to Kohl's cash next time.

Sometimes you don't realize you're the "struggling guy" in the relationship

It's almost impossible to find true equality in a relationship. One person will generally always be older than their partner, or richer than them. This isn't an issue for most people, but it can cause a problem from time to time. It certainly left this person with food for thought after someone they were dating asked them a question.

The question of whether they could date someone who was struggling financially was innocent enough. However, after they answered that they couldn't, their partner dropped the revelation that they were the "struggling guy" in the relationship. After all, their partner was rich, so that naturally meant that they were worse off. It must have been quite a sobering realization.

Some couples have different ideas about how much is too much to spend

Money can be a sore topic in a relationship, especially when one person earns more than the other. There's often an unspoken agreement not to talk about it much or to have limits on how much to spend without discussing it. Unfortunately, there are times when this doesn't always go to plan, as someone decided to reveal.

According to someone, there's quite a difference between how much he and his wife will spend without clearing it with one another first. He feels he can reasonably spend up to $50 without needing her permission. She, on the other hand, believes that $643.27 is an okay amount to spend without prior discussion. We wonder what it was for.

When you owe a lot of people money, you often just have to laugh

Most kids can't seem to wait to grow up and become an adult. However, once they reach that stage in their life, they usually realize it's not all it's cracked up to be. Being an adult means having to be financially responsible - for you and potentially others - which possibly means owing money to various people.

This person has tried to make light of that situation with one of these funny money tweets. He joked that he probably owes the moon money when his daughter asked why it was following them everywhere. It's probably safe to say this is one man who'll be happy to see the back of every loan he's ever taken out.

Sometimes the best advice for saving money is not to follow any advice

Can you ever really have too many tips on how to save money? Given the financial issues that so many millennials seem to face, the internet doesn't think so. Are these tips ever that helpful, though? After all, it's not easy to tell someone what to do when you don't know their current personal situation.

That's why we much prefer hilarious tweets about money advice like this one from Toad Whisperer. Rather than being genuine, it just makes fun of the mountains of advice out there by basically telling millennials that there is no solution. Well, not unless they're happy to starve, sell their car, and sit around crying. Yeah, we’d rather not.

It turns out that a date with Drake isn't as expensive as it might appear

We imagine that someone like Drake can afford to take people on the most amazing dates possible. Unfortunately, most people aren't as rich as him. So, when someone posted on Twitter that Drake "set the tone" for dates to be $10,000, not everyone was having it. This person fought back with their greatest weapon: math.

They calculated that he supposedly makes $47 million a year, meaning a $10,000 date is only 0.000021% of his annual salary. When you apply that to what the average household income usually is, you get $14.55. So, really, we can afford to lower the expectations of our dates going forward - and save some pennies.

This is the catch-22 of needing experience to work but not being able to  get it

We don't think there are many honest tweets about money more genuine than this. Getting a job is the best way to boost your bank account, but plenty of people struggle to gain employment because they don't meet the job requirements. Is that their fault, though, or are the employers simply expecting too much? Often, the answer is the latter.

As Dan points out, you can't hire for an entry-level job and expect people to have experience. The whole point of jobs like this is that they offer employees a way to get their foot in the door and start working their way up. If you start demanding years of experience for not enough pay, you're just asking for trouble.

Boycotting companies might be more worthwhile than canceling celebrities

Canceling celebrities seems to be all the rage right now. As soon as someone says something mildly problematic, people jump to cancel them rather than encourage them to do better. They'll even look up evidence of past mistakes to try and bring them down, completely forgetting that not everyone is the same person they were years ago.

This account is apparently tired of this behavior and used one of their brutally honest tweets to make their point. They suggested that people's time would be better spent boycotting companies that expect qualifications and years of experience for a low-paying job. It would certainly be beneficial to more people than canceling a celebrity would.

The feeling of canceling your free trial before getting charged is like no other

There's no denying that the barrage of streaming services with monthly subscriptions now available does sometimes make it harder to save money. If you're paying for Spotify, Netflix, Disney Plus, and potentially others every month, you're losing a significant amount of money. That's why free trials can be so precious, so long as you're careful with them.

There's no greater dread than realizing the trial you were meant to cancel has now finished, and you've been charged for another month. Of course, on the flip side, there's no greater relief than remembering to cancel just in time. This post here really does sum up the way most of us look when we’re just in time.

The cycle of worrying about money and spending it is one that seems never-ending

It's really stressful dealing with money as an adult. Like, really stressful. If it weren't for some of these funny money tweets, we're not sure how we'd cope. Of course, it would probably be a lot less stressful dealing with money if we were better at saving it. However, this post highlights exactly why that's so difficult.

When you spend so much time worrying about money, you reach a point where you need something to perk you up. Unfortunately, spending money on treats to make you feel better just makes your financial situation worse. You end up stuck in this cycle, which never seems to get any better. At least you get treats out of it, though.

This person might have the best idea to never forget owed money

Being generous is a good trait to have. When you're kind enough to give things to other people, you tend to find that your kindness comes back to you in one way or another. However, just because someone is generous, that doesn't mean they're a pushover, as this person points out in a hilarious and genius post.

It seems this person only gives people money with the intention of eventually getting it back, which isn't unreasonable. To make sure they don't forget about the debt or how much they're owed, they apparently add the figure to that person's contact name. It's a smart technique that ensures no one ever tries to get out of repaying them.

Not everyone's going to put in the effort when they're not paid what they feel they're worth

There's often pressure to be completely focused the entire time someone is at work. After all, if your employer is paying you to do your job, you shouldn't really slack off. However, the reality is that it's hard to concentrate on work for so long without getting distracted. That's especially the case when you don't like your salary.

After someone wrote about people feeling bad for tweeting instead of being productive at work, one user fired back with a pretty honest and hilarious reply. They made the point that what they earn is marginal compared to what their boss makes, so they're not going to feel guilty for slacking off here and there.
