A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I know all about that. I'm your "I live within my means" average dude. I've raised 2 kids off of a $15/hour job. I made it work somehow. I'm better now after a full 13 years of jumping from one shit job to another. But not all people are good at managing the $15 they get. It's nothing to begin with. You just can't manage any of it when your rent is $1500+. Not everyone is an accountant. People shouldn't have a very low wage like this to begin with. There should be a headstart for people.
Unfortunately, you have to play the hand you got. I've given this advice over and over and people who were just complaining about not making ends meet will say that it's too much work to try to do the bare minimum to save a few bucks here and there. You don't even have to mind every penny you spend, you just have to be mindful of the money you spend.
