Funny, Memes
ADVERTIsem*nT
It is obvious that financially, we live in a different world than our parents or grandparents did. Therefore, to navigate through the complexities of today's economic landscape, we tend to seek guidance from successful people that have made their riches in this modern era. Luckily for us, the internet has rewarded us with countless people eager to share their expertise, experiences, and tips and tricks, guiding us to more prosperous futures.
But besides those experts, we also got some hilarious financial advice humor that we would like to share with you today. An Instagram account called notfinancialadvice__ shares all sorts of goofy memes that highlight the absurdity of today's job market, the rise of prices, and other topics that you can either relate to or laugh at. So does the Instagram account Consulting Comedy and many other pages that you will see down below.

Back in the early 90's folks were trying to get banks to lower overdraft fees. Many politicians did not understand the problem. Because the House Bank allowed members to overdraw their accounts with no consequences. Those guys did not understand that banks were charging fees for overdrafts. things are different now, but most politicians still do not understand what it is like to struggle financially.

Bored Pandareached out to Consulting Comedy, aplatform which connects over 600k consultants and other business professionals globally through its lighthearted business humor to learn more about their content. In particular, we reached out to J, the author of this page, who kindly introduced himself and will be answering all of our questions. “My name is J. and have been working as a consultant in a top-tier management consulting firm for nearly 10 years. I have remained the sole and anonymous author of Consulting Comedy since its inception - picture Mr. Bean in Johnny English. Being extremely professional at work during the day and a clandestine joker during the late hours of the night has allowed me to enjoy my job and connect with a rich global community looking for an escape from their daily grind.”

First and foremost, we were curious to learn what inspired J to create a parody account and what content they mostly share. J replied: “Consulting is a profession that can cover a varying range of topics and industries (strategy, HR, IT, implementation, marketing, etc.) Despite these differences, what unites all types of consultants is the difficulty of explaining what we do to others - my grandparents think that 'I am a doctor but for companies' - the incessant traveling and long working hours, and the overuse of PowerPoint slides. We also take ourselves and our jobs a little too seriously. I created the channel in 2017 (Consulting Comedy) as an outlet to expose the inside circle of consulting, what we really do, and some of the ridiculous behaviors that we all adopt on the job. My colleague had a great sense of humor, so their support encouraged me to share my sarcasm on social media, which quickly resonated with many and turned into the 600k community across social media platforms that it grew into.”

Recent years have not been the best for our pockets since the prices are rising, and let’s not forget the international political tension in the air. Overall, young people, especially a group called millennials, didn’t get the greatest chance to live their best lives as promised by the generations before them. However, we have to say that even though we might not be able to buy a house for mere pennies as back in the day, we sure are rich in memes and internet content. We asked J for his opinion on what ways he believes humor can help people cope with the financial challenges they face today. J shared:“Humor is often the most candid way of communication. It is captivating and can be used as a great means to learn effortlessly/seamlessly. When unfiltered it can also expose numerous topics, irrespective of their sensitivities, and has been throughout history a catalyst for change. Moreover, it has a therapeutic effect to dissipate tension and stress through laughter - turning bad into good.”

As the following grew, we were interested to know what kind of response Consulting Comedy has received from people. J explained: “Response to humor is tricky. Whenever topics are purely technical or work-related, the response is unanimously positive. However, when topics are more related to interaction, dynamics, or perceptions in the workplace, engagement varies a lot throughout geographies. I quickly realized that some audiences - such as the USA - can react negatively to some content that other geographies, such as Europe or Asia, will view in a different light. It really showed the beauty in differences around the world and allowed me to modify the humor to be accommodating to all.” J also added by sharing why humor is helpful for people regarding their finances in this day and age. “The currency of life isn’t money. It’s laughter and smiles. Smiling makes our journey to build a career, wealth, and knowledge much more enjoyable. It is the sunshine that lights up our days.”

Well, what are other options? If you're not using home made clay tablet and squint with the sun in the face, completely naked in the forest, you always support some form of capitalism. In the end, it does not matter too much if you pay little bit more money for something you actually like.

And lastly, we asked J to share if he has found that the Consulting Comedy account has had any positive impact on the followers’ financial literacy or mindset.“The account helped new followers understand what consulting is, the jargon and technical terms especially related to the job in a lighthearted manner and the lifestyle that we all share. The account helped significant others connect with their partner by understanding what they do at work through the comedic content we bring.” ADVERTIsem*nT

I went to a vape ship, grabbed something myself and they were wanting a tip. Here's a tip: tell your boss to pay you a fair wage (probably won't) instead of asking customers to make up the difference. Now when I go to the vape shop, I purchase my items online and go pick them up.

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.
Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
