Should I quit my monthly expenses for alcohol?

Why no one's talking about the math? Monthly expenses add to $49,000 times 12 equal $588,000 per year. That's clearly not $300,000 and not even earning $400,000 gets you to the end of the year.

Because the joke is about spending so much money on things like porn and alcohol. It's just a joke, no real statement of expenses.

Somehow, spending 12k/m on Uber rides and the gym costing 7k/m too

I don't think it's really joke. Posts like these rely on people going in and correcting every single detail they got wrong which counts as engagement for the algorithm and the post soars. Just look at the comments here.

They're paying $7k/month for a gym membership. Bad math is the joke.
