    Is this a right meme? My interpretation is that (white) people in the 50s took advantage of the excess of the time, but now everything is expensive and it’s hard for anyone to afford basic needs.

      The clue is on the starbucks coffee, it tries to say people nowadays buy from brands that make them spend more money than they used to. It would be a left-leaning meme mocking the rise in prices if it used a brand-less coffee

      Since I was told this was a meme from the right, I assumed it was about “millennials can’t manage their money”
