Kevin O'Leary Got me Canceled

Kevin O'Leary didn't get you canceled, common sense got under the skin of stupid people.

70 grand was good money 5 years ago and now people who make 70 grand cannot eat out and they are the problem?

I tell people often, we don't have an income problem: We have a spending problem. We have a control problem. We have an envy problem (keeping up with the Jones's). We have an entitlement problem ("I deserve..."). Unbeknownst to us, we are often are worst enemies.

My husband and I are doing alright financially. No debt and the money is there. But we're trying to save up for retirement so we're living as we've always done. He goes out to dinner with our daughter every month. It's a tradition I insisted on when our son died. I didn't want the family to fragment and they were both spinning at the time. Usually he brings me home a meal. This is our family's ONE thing, so I don't cry about the money. This time I pulled up the restaurant menu and started scrolling and I almost had a heart attack. $23.00 for a hamburger?!! PLUS TAX AND TIP. Not a fancy hamburger. A single patty on a bun with some lettuce and tomato and some fries on the plate. I kept exploring the menu and came across the kiddie section. TEN FREAKING DOLLARS FOR A SINGLE CORN DOG AND A TINY PORTION OF FRIES. Nope. Nope, nope, NOPE. I messaged him that there was no way in hell I was paying that much for that simple burger. At this point the nation needs to completely boycott unreasonable restaurants and fast food until they come to their senses. There are still some great places out there that have remained sane and we need to reward them.

NAH. My neighbors have GenZ kids living with them. They don’t go out to eat. They DoorDash! Every friggin day.

Hey bud. I make 6 fig, my boy makes 6 fig, we spend 1k/mo for food for 2 of us (eating out 2-3 times a week) still can't afford shit.

It’s cheaper for me to eat out than cook most of the time. Sometimes it’s cheaper for me to buy socks and underwear than do laundry. These are problems from working 16 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. Your time becomes more valuable than money. An hour of your labor is worth more than the few hours of your time it would take to meal prep or laundry. Crazy perspective but if you know you know.

My brother, you have no idea what it's like to be cancelled. You're a great entertainer but you were still figuring out what you wanted to do for a living when people were getting cancelled for saying the things you can say freely today.

My mom tried to get married with children canceled in the nineties. She said the show was denigrating society.

Caleb is right. This is my ex. She would rather door dash my kids dinners than cook and she complains about money she doesn’t have. While I spend $200 a month at the grocery store planning my kids food for the month and I have $1000 leftover for savings. Yes I make more than her.

You're evil because you got someone fired for saying a bad word. And then you monetized how evil you are. Sticks and Stones, you know, unless you want to make some money from destroying someone's life.

I’m GenX, when I started working as an adult in NYC in 1991, I had a co-worker who brown bagged his lunch every day. He and his wife both worked in corporate America. They were saving for house. I thought he was a sad space alien at the time. He retired at 55. I’m still working.

"CALEB HAMMER SAYS POOR PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE TO EAT" 🤣

I have some guys in my company, spending a $100 a day. Ordering from doordash and grubhub. It's f****** insane. Lunch for a week five hundred dollars. And then they go buy dinner.

You yell at poor people all day. Congrats on your 20m. Grift will end sooner or later.

I can count on one hand the number of times we ate out the first 15 years of marriage.

You are not wrong… 😑 I am 40+.

Lol first of all.. how many early career professionals a.k.a. "kids" are actually even making $70k a year? More like $45k-50k maybe.

been telling people stop listening to this narrative

I do a bad job of eating out too much but its on parents of Gen z and even millennials. Gen X and Boomers did a terrible job teaching kids they need to know how to cook.

Its a lesson learned in life. But most Gen Z is sheltered by parents and reinforced by peers/social media. I was them. Until I had to live in a literal box.

I agree, because a little bit adds up, especially when I'm not paying attention and I'm just using the card for things. It ends up leaving me with nothing when I'm not paying attention to what's happening to my money. It's true, a little bit adds up and it destroys you over time.

There is nothing wrong with treating yourself on a rare occasion. Going out for lunch every day is insanity though.

Personally I was more mad at this. Never used a food delivery app in my life btw.

i think more people are saying that cuz we live in a time when that shouldnt be the case like ye are people bad with money and should save yes but also theres so much money that is being pushed into upper class that can be reinvested into wages to grow the middle class

Every time you go over how much your guests eat out- I yell at the screen. I have eaten out less than 3 times in the last year. And one was with a gift card. Yes, I am 55. But holy crap- why are people so LAZY?!?!

If 50% of people stop eating out, The market changes and likely crashes in sectors. That 720 billion dollar out of economy. These sectors will collapse. Individual advice, ok, Macro, this is a large negative demand shock/Chaos.

I happen to agree with you. Spend less than you earn. Save and invest. Deferred gratification. @moneyguyshow

Most people on Caleb’s show seem to have clear mental health/impulsive issues that need more than financial advice. They don’t represent most people. I don’t know anyone who spends $1000 per month eating out. I know people spending $1000 + per month on groceries though.

I agree with you. I was raised to ask a simple question, is this a Want or a Need. A $28 lunch is a Want not a Need. I’m teaching my boys to make smarter decisions instead of emotional ones. Just bc you have the $28 doesn’t mean you Need to spend it.

Ps - 2 meals delivered plus 2 coffees per week =

We needed a modern version of Dave Ramsey. We've got one.

The same guy who bought his GF $10K purse 👜 and saying you can’t eat $28 lunch? 😆

Kevin got you cancelled?? Lol, THE PEOPLE ON YOUR SHOW, GOT YOU CANCELLED! Kevin only spoke truthfully!!??!!
