Our boy Elon Musk might be the most cringey billionaire on the scene right now, and we can't help but love the resulting meme content.

As Americans, we're all probably pretty familiar with the "garage" success story in which successful billionaires started out working in humble conditions, such as in a basement or garage until they made it big. This Twitteruser brought up an interesting different viewpoint!
This thread is pretty eye-opening, but we certainly don't want to dominate the discussion here - what do you all think? Are billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Steve Jobs self-made? Or did they receive a little more help than the rest of us along the way?
Move over Airpodsand make way for the newest and stupidest thing you could possibly buy with your precious, hard-earned stacks of dollar bills: the Apple Pro Stand for only $999! What does it do, you ask? Why, it holds up your newly purchased Mac Pro desktop, which costs a cool $6,000 or more! Yes, you read that correctly - the Apple Pro Stand literally...holds things up.
And to further put that price into perspective, the glorified stand costs more than an iPhone X. Just let that sink in for a minute. But hey, no one ever said that Apple products were affordable, and for that they're getting roasted by us plebs who can't afford literally any of their products!
God, it must be really nice to be rich - the freedom to buy what you want when you want it. However, we have to say that making fun of the rich and famous is also pretty great. If you're feelin' a little down about your own bank statement right now, then click here to scroll through some possibly more relatable poor-people tidbits!
It's truly amazing how the world's most difficult and high maintenance people expect the world yet aren't willing to pay a fair price for their high standards. This is definitely the case in the following text exchange between a dog sitter and a prospective customer.
It seems that Junie's owner thinks she is doing a favor paying $110 for a week of dog sitting - while expecting the dog sitter to be with the dog 90% of the time. And administering complicated medication. The texts are absolutely infuriating, especially when it becomes clear that the prima donna isn't getting what she wants. Don't be like Junie's dog mom. Treat people with respect. Most of the comments on the poor dog sitter's post agree with us.
Refinery29 probably made a bad call with publishing this article in their series entitled Money Diaries, which chronicles how the Millennial woman budgets her "hard-earned" money. In this particular installment, R29 interviews a 21-year-old college student and marketing intern living in New York City who makes $25 per hour and can somehow still afford to have a little extra cash left over after she pays the bills.
Sounds like a pretty typical Millennial life, right? Well sure, until you learn that said marketing intern has rich parents who pay her rent, phone bill and health insurance costs. Needless to say, the internet is absolutely raging about this spoiled rich girl's lavish lifestyle.
Some people are just more delusional than we can ever fathom. Like this guy, for example. It's not a secret in this day and age that college tuition isn't even remotely affordable for most, but this guy went out of his way on Twitter to try to explain how he supposedly managed to pay his own way through his education.
Twitter users, however, dug up some of his old tweets, and let's just say that he wasn't being especially truthful...
Computer programmers are, shall we say, their own special breed. They're not exactly known for their social skills or hygiene practices. But in all seriousness, at the end of the day we appreciate y'all because you give us our fancy smartphones and you make way more money than the rest of us, so we're secretly jealous.
When you're as rich and famous as these celebrities, you can pretty much afford to purchase any outfit at all, regardless of how ridiculous is it. This trending meme, known as "Celebrities As Things," has us laughing hysterically at the uncanny resemblances between celebs' weird outfits and random objects.
The best part about Coachella weekend every year? We gotta be honest that for us, it has to be making fun of the absurdity of it all. You've got cornucopias of trendy white people dressed up in arguably offensive Native American garb...really, what could go wrong? Not to mention the festival is expensive as sh*t and average plebs like us aren't exactly...welcome there.
To ruminate in our saltiness, we put together 14 memes making fun of the whole operation. We hope you enjoy!
Welp, Kim Kardashian just dropped this total bombshell on the world in her interview with Vogue Magazine: she wants to be an attorney like her dad Robert Kardashian, most famously known as OJ Simpson's attorney.
The reality TV star has apparently been studying secretly in an apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm for the past year. She plans to sit for the bar exam in 2022.
People have been roasting Kim K for the fact that she did not go to law school or even obtain an undergraduate degree. Some have even compared her to Lori Loughlin's spoiled daughter, saying that she could simply buy her way in to the legal field.
Interestingly, a law degree is not required for one to become a lawyer in the state of California. An alternate option, like in Kim's case, is to complete a four-year apprenticeship before taking the bar exam.
The following is what Twitter has been saying about the situation!
Everyone loves some occasional drama that comes out of the Kardashian-Jenner empire, and if you don't then you're lying. Luckily, if you're not into seeing it all the freaking time, there are ways to filter any Kardashian-related news out of your Twitter feed.
But right now, we're diving into some memes that poke fun at America's most ridiculous socialite family. Enjoy!
Whole Foods, which was bought out by Amazon two years ago, announced that it will be cutting prices on many of its traditionally overpriced products. This has come as good news for many, but it's also been met with scrutiny that the products won't be as high-quality as they were in the past.
Will the hippie supermarket soon shed its infamous nickname "Whole Paycheck"? It's hard to say, but either way, we're bringing you these memes that throw serious shade. If we're being honest, probably most of us still won't be able to afford anything they sell!
We love a good cringey fashion movement. The romphim. Denim chaps. Earlier this week we were alerted to the horrifying existence of what ABC 7 is calling "JANTIES." Jean. Panties. At first we thought it was a cruel April fools joke, but it seems the war against labias is, in fact, real. Stunned Twitter users were quick to rally against this irritating concept, and this thread quickly became a veritable goldmine of appalled whining. We're not sure which is worse: the concept or the fact that the $315 dollar underwear has already sold out.
In light of this week's clusterf*ck of a news story involving a bunch of rich celebrities bribing their spoiled kids' ways into the nation's top colleges, people on Twitter are parodying the situation by highlighting the satirical ways that they themselves were admitted into college, without relying on trust funds from stupidly wealthy parents. Anyone who's endured the trials and tribulations of college applications, pulling study all-nighters, and crippling student debt will be able to relate to these tweets hardcore.
