QOTD - EXPENSIVE INVITES
A new global study on the "Cost of Friendship" found that in 2026, the average person now spends roughly 20% of their monthly salary just to attend a single wedding. Between the "perfect" outfit for the photos, the gift, and the travel, being a bridesmaid or groomsman has become a "financial hurdle." The study found that 1 in 4 people have actually turned down an invitation to a close friend's wedding simply because they couldn't afford to be a guest. Have you ever had to say "no" to a friend’s wedding or a big celebration because it was just too expensive to attend? Or, what’s the most you’ve ever spent just to be a guest?
5MM - UNPOPPYWOPPY - UNINSPIRING FOOD ORDERS
Ordering something boring at a nice restaurant is an absolute waste of a menu. If you’re going to pay restaurant prices, ordering the one thing you can make at home, or is super basic, is actually a "crime." Is it a reliable "safe bet," or is it an indicator of being a boring person?
QOTD - ADULT TASK FAIL
A 2026 survey on "Domestic Competency" found that over 60% of adults over the age of 30 still don't know how to perform "basic" life tasks without Googling them every single time. The top culprits? Knowing how to properly fold a fitted sheet, how to check the oil in a car, or how long to boil a "medium" egg. It turns out, most of us are just pretending to be adults and hoping nobody notices. What is that one "basic" adult task that you still haven't mastered, even though you’re definitely old enough to know by now?
5MM - UNPOPPYWOPPY - TOO OLD FOR "BIRTHDAY MONTH"
If you are over the age of 25, the concept of a "Birthday Month" (or even a "Birthday Week") needs to end. You get one day, one dinner or one party, and that’s it. Adults who expect people to clear their calendars for multiple "birthday-themed" events across a month are being immature.
YB5 with CANSA
In this episode, CANSA Marketing and Social Media Coordinator, Melissa Zaayman explains how the average South African can access CANSA's screening services, available countrywide. We also get a glimpse of the difference between CANSA Care Homes and CANSA TLC Accommodations.
QOTD - COMFORT TV SHOWS
A 2026 report on global streaming habits found that despite thousands of new shows being released last year, the average person spent one-third of their viewing time rewatching shows they have already seen (think Friends, The Office, or Grey's Anatomy). Psychologists say we aren't being "lazy"... we're "self-soothing." In an unpredictable world, our brains crave a story where we already know the ending. What is that one "comfort show" or movie you can watch over and over again, and you know every line by heart? Why do you think you keep going back to it?
5MM - UNPOPPYWOPPY - PODCAST OR VOICENOTE??
Sending a voice note that is longer than 60 seconds is fundamentally selfish. You are essentially giving your friend "homework"—forcing them to stop what they are doing and listen to you talk for three minutes when you could have just typed a three-sentence summary. Is it a more personal way to connect, or is it just lazy communication that disrespects your time?
QOTD - ENJOYABLE HIGH COST OF LIVING
What is the one small daily habit or "treat" you refuse to give up, no matter how expensive it might get? (Is it the morning coffee, the specific brand of bread, or that Friday afternoon chocolate?)
