I was having an existential crisis about the future of humanity.

Then I remembered I have a group chat dedicated to complaining about rising gas prices, and suddenly everything felt a little more manageable.

I'm trying to save for a down payment on a house

but so far I've only managed to save enough for a decent Craigslist couch

I'm really trying to plan for the future.

My long-term plan is just to survive long enough to see the next season of whatever I'm binging.

My parents asked if I'm saving for a down payment.

I told them I'm saving for the societal collapse – feels more realistic.
