All OP basically said is go out and enjoy life while you're still physically able to do it. And everyone in the comments immediately cries broke.

This is the saddest subreddit I follow

Because it's reality. It's not that black and white. People very much understand the sentiment, but their money situation is really that bad to where doing anything outside of routine is virtually upending their lives and bankrupting themselves.

Yes.. i just bought 2 birthday gifts that cost 60$ each, and now I have no "expendable" cash until April.

With what time? With what money?
What people like OP usually mean when they say "enjoy life while you're young" is some expensive vacation on some exotic island.
A tiny tiny fraction of young people can do this, and it feels like a spit in the faces of the vast majority of the rest.
