Your comment does not make sense in light of facts. Crypto boomed in 2017, 2020, and is currently booming again.

I think they were suggesting that they're broke...

I'm suggesting that my "investment budget" is nothing.

I think this one flew right over your head.

Specifically, I'm making light of the fact that no matter how hard I try to make a living wage, I still struggle to make everything work, indirectly shedding light on the recent discussions about stagnant wages and out of control inflation, raising costs to live while providing me no means by which to afford those increases.

Most months I barely have enough left over to buy myself a single meal at a restaurant as a once-a-month treat, nevermind have money set aside for retirement or have an "investment budget".
