Being Broke – The Glory of Ramen Noodles

I don’t think there’s anything a person that’s poor and angry loves more than ramen noodles. They’re cheap as hell, and they keep forever! Not only that, but you can whip them up in about 5 minutes, so you can continue playing video games and smoking weed.

Some corporate genius must have noticed that the ramen consumption is going up nationally, because out of nowhere, the price doubled. I really don’t see how this is justified – a 100 percent price raise? Well, even at that cost, I suppose it’s still easy to live for a week for a couple of bucks.

But even that has its own price. Have you ever tried to eat nothing but ramen noodles (and 40′s of Olde English malt liquor) for a week straight? I had that unfortunate experience – it was not a pretty sight. Good thing the sink was close enough to the toilet so that I could release sodium water from both orifices simultaneously.

It’s a good thing that ramen is still cheap and affordable. How else would we get our daily requirement of thousands of milligrams of sodium? I mean, you’re not going to get that from a salad – unless you smother it in ranch or italian dressing by WishBone. But have you seen how much THAT stuff costs? You’d be a fool not to save your dough and get some dehydrated enriched wheat product…. a value that LASTS!

First Post

After years of contemplating, both of the sites are up! The Poor and Angry site is the main hub, with this site being fed into the main page with an RSS feed.

We want your Poor and Angry stories! Let us read about your probation/parole, all the shitty jobs and money problems. I’ll take the lead with the next post – I’m writing one about ramen noodles, because I just had some. Yum.

I’m recruiting some talent for writing, so be on the look out for posts….
