Aside from being tone deaf, I think this is bad advice. Common breakfast foods are fairly cheap comparatively and I'm pretty sure most nutritionists recommend eating something for breakfast to kickstart your metabolism. If I were skipping/reducing a meal, it would be lunch.
Best I can do is add some more milk to my coffee.
My prescriptions cost so much too. Maybe I should just stop taking my antidepressants and see how it rides out. .
"If you spiral into the grave, your cost of living goes down by 100%!" - some jackass at the wsj soon, probably
Pro-tip: You can save money on living expenses if you just live in a cardboard box by the roadside and die.
Please not by the roadside, noone wants to see your progress to absolute freedom.
The Wall Street Journal is just shitposting for rich people.
"We know life is Hard, but have you tried Ultra Hard by skipping the most important meal of the day and starting out famished?"
Off topic but I don't think breakfast is any more or less important than a meal any other time of the day. Most days I only eat one big meal around dinnertime and maybe have a few bites of some snack throughout the day. I've been like that for years now it started from doing 12 hour construction shifts where I'd just work all day with a coffee and maybe an apple or something then eat a big meal once I was home. I don't do construction anymore but the way I eat stuck with me. It's probably worth pointing out that I'm very fit and a healthy bodyweight (5'10 152lbs) and I don't suffer any negative effects from living like this. I'd say I'm healthier than 90% of the people I know.
Instead of planning for retirement, consider dying instead!
That's my retirement plan! Murica! πΊπΈππ« πΊπΈ
I hope whoever wrote this trips in their bathroom and gets a severe brain injury.
AIs don't have a bathroom, or even a brain.
News sites will do anything to get engagement and attention. ANYTHING.
If you don't have enough money for bread, buy cake instead!
"And while you're at it, do you really NEED to sleep?"
"In fact, do you even NEED a home? You can just sleep at work like a good little corporate slave! "
might be funny until you know there are actually some people who do this.
There's a webcomic about a world where almost no one sleeps anymore thanks to a new drug. And they work 16 hours a day.
They act like most of us even have time to make breakfast like we're living in some 90's sitcom
It's people like you that make me look like an asshole. Every morning I wake up at 3am to squeeze orange juice, make sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles, 5 omelettes, 40 pancakes, 6lbs of bacon, hash browns, buttered toast, and right after my son comes down the stairs, puts his ball cap on, grabs a single piece of bacon, heads out the door in a rush, I chase him down with a PB&J he inevitably always forgets. But it's not like I want to waste 40lbe of food per day. Some days I just want my son to sit down and eat the 40lbs of food I prepared. He may think I'm overbearing but I'm really overcaring.
What intro was that from? I can't figure it out :-(
It's from... "Nondescript White-Ethnocentric Nostalgia Family with Canned Laughter" Good show

The headline is as valid as "just stop being poor"
It's fun and games, but lately I've seen 2 colleagues eating from the office kitchen the leftovers of extra bread and cream cheese, instead of ordering. It's actually sad.
No funds? Have you considered refraining from eating as a means of saving money?
Think of all the weight you can lose while saving money!
Save money and lose weight with this one easy trick.
Iβd expect nothing less from Rupert Murdoch's little periodical.
I read it as monkey, and it didn't make any sense.
You need less monkey if you skip breakfast. What's not to understand?
I mean, intermittent fasting is legit but not to save money... Ffs...
Humans can live without food for up to 2 months, so to save even more money, just eat food every 1 month and 29 days!
Here's a nice (non-paywalled) breakdown of the original article and reactions to it. I just managed to get the first few sentences of the WSJ thing (despite disabling Javascript), but between the article and the breakdown, it seems the author picked a baity title to an otherwise uncontroversial (if lacking) analysis of food price inflation.
Journalists don't write their own heds. It would have been an editor who wrote it. Your point stands otherwise.
To save more money, stop eating lunch and dinner
Why even bother? Just stop eating
Next headline:
#Millennials are Killing the Food Industry
"They just eat "woke"
Life's more affordable when you're dead, plus it's the only way out of your student loans.
The US of A is such a claoca maxima, disgusting country.
Maybe fuck that, the stores should take a hit so we can eat.
Skip all meals and save even more!
How much are eggs for you all? I just picked up a dozen for 3.75.
