Meanwhile, the rich get richer...

Me at 70, trying to make the child-size coffin I could barely afford for my own funeral slippery enough so I can get squeezed in later:

Having money isn't a good excuse to be wasteful. Why not use the last of the bottle?

Use bricks of soap instead.
- I tried a bar shampoo but it made my scalp itchy and my hairs felt like they were coated with a "sticky soap film" like in the old Zest commercials
- I've been considering switching actually. I need to find one which doesn't make my hands feel weird though. To ease my conscience a bit, I've been buying larger "lower plastic" refills for the smaller bottles.
I think they are putting water in the bottle in an effort to get the last of the soap out and stretch it a little further.
- Being poor isn't the only reason to use the whole bottle though

Me at 45...

Me at 42:

Me at 50. Well, I have a small car... Which sometimes I feel I cannot afford, lol.

If that's conditioner, you'd be better off just using it undiluted. Adding water makes it a lot less effective.

I'm pretty sure they're just trying to get one more use from an empty bottle
- I thought it was only posh people that used up all the rinsed conditioner in one go

The problem with this meme is the marble tile shower and nice showerhead.

Marble? That's soap scum and mold.
- The clean joints above the showerhead and in the corner say otherwise.
- Is it that you cant afford a scrub brush to clean the shower?
Nice showerhead? That's the most basic showerhead in Brazil, far fromanything fancy.
- It looks like a multi spray pattern model.
  In America, the cheap ones we get look like this:
- In my horrible apartment it was just a pipe sticking out of the wall with no head. I fixed it myself but they seemed fine with it.
Nice showerhead? Looks like a cheap crap one. What's your standard - a bare pipe?
- I said nice, not great, not fantastic, no premium, not luxurious.
  It is nice. It is better than the typical land bastard special:
Maybe it’s marble patterned laminate

oh damn dude. nobody was supposed to know about that

Anyone know what was the original age, and how long ago? For science

Real.

You’re 25, this looks pretty standard. Majority of people don’t own(mortgage) a home until at least 35+.

I like how OP modified meme to say 35 after it was 25 originally.

It's hard to get ahead when you're barely getting by. There are many of us who have been working hard but are in much the same position at 35. I've edited the post accordingly.
- I don’t know many people who owned a home before 40’s at least. Including myself.
I am almost 50, I've gone from owning a home to losing everything twice and starting from scratch due to medical issues, life disasters, family medical disasters and economic crashes and layoffs over and over.
You can do everything right and still end up making no progress in life. Our world promises nothing, nothing should be expected. You will lose a lot of mental health if you can't adapt to the idea that you may not have anything at certain ages.
Owning a home is a massive expense and source of stress that starts falling apart the moment they hand you the key. It's perfectly valid to not feel particularly inspired to take this kind of back-breaking responsibility on before you're more than ready.
- Thank you for your wisdom
Then, once you do, it's back to the picture again.
