J-Lo's fans got a laugh at the meme and many commiserated with star in the comments.
'That's right sister';'lmao exactly mother'; 'she not playin' games wit' yall!!' are just a few of the comments that agreed with her sentiment.
With concern that the U.S. may plunge into a recession, many people are feeling the pinch.
Trump has provided contradicting comments about what he plans on doing, leading to more uncertainty in the economic markets, the AP reported Friday.
The President has said that he will proceed with recalibrating the tariff rates in the coming weeks.
He and China are actively in talks regarding tariffs, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China government officials have said otherwise.
While funny, J-Lo's post doesn't really apply to her and her estimated net worth of $400 million.
However, one economic issue she has to deal with is the $68million house she and her ex-husband Ben Affleck bought during their brief marriage.
They renovated the Beverly Hills estate to suit their needs. But they've had very little interest in the pricey abode since it hit the market in August 2024.
Sources have told TMZ that Ben is eager to lower the price of the house while J-Lo is not ready to do so - despite there not being much interest in the abode.
'Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is. But the real-estate market is not there and it's not selling,' an insider told Us Weekly.
Meanwhile, Ben is prepared to sell, no matter the final offer.
'Ben wants to get rid of it because their divorce is over and he wants to cut all ties and have it be done,' the insider stated.
He just wants it over and to sell it. He wants to reduce the price.'
Some realtors also informed TMZ that the $68m asking price is too high and needs to be dropped by at least 15 per cent if the pair want to offload their marital home.
An agent told the publication that the two stars had overpaid for the estate - which consists of 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
