I always thought of the point known as 'making it' was the point at which i could just go to the grocery store or a restaurant or a movie and just not worry about how much I was spending comfortable that I had enough. Never got there.

I could do it but i never do. Ill budget everything and check discounts anyway
I was ultra poor as a child and now that I am an adult and make a 3 figure income, I don't look at the prices very often. It is fucking wonderful. But my wife is always giving me a hard time for paying to much or getting the expensive one when the cheap one is just as good. I don't care though. It is bliss not having to care about the prince of little things.
I'm so glad that in NL, the cheese industry is so massive that cheap cheese exists, and is at least half decent
Yesterday I grabbed a bag of mixed cheddar and mozzarella because I thought I was wealthy enough to not check the price when buying cheese. When I got to the register, I found out it was SIX FUCKING HUNDRED PESOS ($30 for my freedom-loving friends).
Alv en dónde?!
Walmart
My grocery store has a basket of tiny bits of cheese that are all under $3. I check it every time and sometimes find some real gems like aged parmesan or a bit of raclette. Plus it's a small amount so you're guaranteed to use all of it.
One of the stores by me does this as well. It's awesome. I get to try so many fancy cheeses without worrying about the price.
I make a pretty good living and my family really loves cheese, so I buy fancy stuff pretty frequently, but I check the prices because some of them are just ridiculous. The ten to twelve dollars I spend on a chunk the size of a deck of cards or two is bad enough, but some are two or three times that price for the same amount and I just can't bring myself to do it. I could do it, but it's just hard to believe we'd enjoy the cheese that much.
I've convinced myself that ShopRite cheese ($2 for an 8oz block - which is still fucking $4 a pound) is as good as it gets. If I want something fancy, I soak herbs in vinegar and mix them into a block of neufchatel cheese, which makes a tasty substitute for goat cheese. I also make my own crackers now, which is basically the cost of the flour.
Sounds tasty
i get paid in gov cheese
I eat a steady diet of government cheese, and live in a van down by the river.
For a second there I thought the image was a picture of cheese cubes on a skewers being dipped in cheese. Then I looked a little closer and saw it was bread 🙄
Someone (with money) needs to make the cheese-covered cheese-on-a-stick happen! Let us know how it goes. I'm sure that not all cheeses will work well for this purpose. Here's my ideas:
- Smoked Gouda dipped in proper Mexican (white, not orange LOL) Salsa con Queso.
- Extra Sharp Cheddar dipped in sweet cream cheese frosting (like you'd put on cinnamon rolls).
- Pepper jack dipped in a mild cheddar then chilled and coated with caramel/butterscotch hard shell topping with just a smidge of finely shredded Parmesan sprinkled on top before the topping becomes hard.
We have a fondu restaurant where you can get hard cheeses to dip in your cheese goo.
Idk why anyone would eat there beyond novelty tho, it’s so disgustingly expensive for the tiny bitty servings you get.
But they aren’t out of business yet, so your cheesy cheese idea isn’t a total flop :)

Is it named "The Melting Pot"? I'm hoping someday to encounter a fondue restaurant that isn't named that. A place named "Fond" just opened near where I live, and I was thinking that must be it, but nope.
I'll try it the next time I'm fondueing
That’s not “financially stable”, that’s “upper class”
It didn't used to be.
When exactly?
When a poor single income could afford a house and car, the middle class could afford a fondue set and some cheese.
It doesn't matter how rich you are. Always check the price.
Once you are rich enough you don't even buy things. You might need to ask for things in some cases but most of the time things are just there when you need it.
Rich people wake up, sit at their table and the breakfast is ready. Once they are done they leave the room and the breakfast disappears, and everything is cleaned when they come back.
They leave their dirty clothes on the floor and they reappear clean and ironed in their dressing.
If you're rich enough you can have someone else check it for you.
Good news! Cheez™ is still affordable!
Ya gotta get the spare ends from Monroe
Counterpoint against the image, cheese fondue is highly overrated so that's money well saved.
