I guess now that I read it again that quote is used for when you are already having a bad day. Like if you have to go to the dentist for a sore tooth or something

You can't do tomorrow either. You can only do now.

Correct. Why do all these "motivational quotes" have to be so negative? Is rhis for people who have such a miserable life that they need to take the smallest straw, just to feel a little bit better? Why not something like: "Maybe today was a bad day, but tomorrow could be the best day" or "You survived the day and what didn't kill you makes you stronger for a better future" Or anything positive? It just makes me feel miserable how anyone could think his life is so bad that THIS kind of quote makes him feel better... I mean it just means his mindset has already given up, before seen this quote...

Well, technically speaking it's not a great time to attempt starting a new family by having your own children.

BRUH. Who told you that lie? You head off when you’re good at ready.
Met a 31 year old graduating senior in my major—she said she was actually GLAD she started late, because she now has the emotional maturity to handle the stress that comes with it. At 18, it isn’t all that easy.

what people picture and what the PHRASE means are two different things. You are creating a strawman argument for zero purpose other than to dig your heels in and be right.
We are not debating what people THINK. We are debating what the phrase MEANS.
Since you are intent on arguing a non-point to no clear end, I refuse to keep entertaining your obtuse interpretation of something that you've already conceded. Good day.

Just remember. You didn’t put that weight on instantly. It won’t come off instantly. A lot of us have/are putting on weight but being aware of it is a good first step.

Firstly, I disagree w/ you. It's not either or. At a macro level, sure you either are within your means or not. However, my point is that "within your means" comes at varying degrees. That is a spectrum. You can either use 50 percentage of your income to support your lifestyle or 1%. That is a huge difference. If someone bringing in 100,000 a year says they live within their means. I do not think it is a bad bet that they mean they are spending 30% to 40% of their income to support themselves as opposed to 10%. I would argue it is in fact far more likely to be the higher figures than the lower. You don't need to be an economist to make that assumption across a generalized population - it's just common sense.
All this is to say, that when you hear the "live within your means" most people are going to picture a more moderate portion of their income going to their life cost as opposed to the bare minimum. So like I was saying, language is going to be interpreted by people as not so literal most of the times ( unless youre a robot)

"Tomorrow may not be." Great! Thanks! Who cares if today was shitty when it's the end of the world, right?

I broke my front teeth right off about 3 weeks ago in an accident, the only appointment I could get was this morning. I'm shit scared of the dentist. Yesterday about this time, I was trying to stop everything in my mind being about the dentist, and thought 'by this time tomorrow, your appointment is over.' It helped me get through last night and this morning. It seems like a similar tactic.
