In general, poor people are poor for a reason

[John Mabrey]

Fuck.
I worry about that too,but I think i'm OK. I just hope we dont have another full lockdown again. That would really fuck my shit up.

I had been mainly working from home but have been slacking off for months, they had a reduction in force and my name was on the list (I know cuz I hacked into the excel file). But someone on my team had resigned before they did it, so they kept me last minute

I did stack up an enormous amount of savings when I lived with them and I'm already naturally frugal

Good on ya
Subway sandwiches and...

well i dont know what else saf buys tbh

People who don’t work hard, make bad decisions, and don’t know how to manage money will likely be poor and unsuccessful.

It’s very easy to understand why people become and stay poor

Yup its not hard to understand at all. I'm probably doing the worst out of my siblings but we're all good. I didnt try hard in school thus I started out worse off than my brother and sister who have their masters but I work hard now. When OT is available I take it, its pretty common for me to work 60 hours a week and still find time to be a good dad. Also I take care of all our finances and budget well. For what my salary is and the fact that my wife hasn't worked in almost 18 months now people would be shocked at our savings and house and such.



Laziness is why most people are poor and I know because I've been there before.

If that is what works for ya,i dont judge. I just cannot.

It's not by choice. They are dead broke, living off the pension and in a caravan that's falling apart on my front lawn.

As my current house is paid off I bought a huge new one for us all to live in. They get the downstairs, I get the upstairs.

Gotta look after your parents... but I would much prefer living alone.

Lol, I also have developed a fatty liver within the past year most likely cuz I rarely leave the house. Working from home is all fun and games and jacking off during zoom meetings til you get laid off and develop liver disease

Yeah my parents are retired and doing OK thank god. I was really worried when Covid first hit. Good on you to look after them.

My biggest expense is prolly food as when I went to the office, I ate out every day. That and hookers. I have like the cheapest phone plan and pirate everything I watch tho

 

[Contempt]

That's socially acceptable in asia, not the west

Yeah but does it count if it's a giant, beautiful, done up house with pool etc in a good area and it's me that owns it?

The people working those shitty jobs with me back in the day would buy the most expensive brands of food at the grocery store. They would go to Starbucks. They buy ps5 and other expensive hobbies. They go out drinking every week spending a lot of money. They go out to eat and buy fast food. When they holiday, they get fancy hotels and buy a bunch of useless shit.

Oh my god. How ignorant can you be.
Being poor and going on holiday in fancy hotels. What the fuck are you talking about. You don't know shit about what being poor is.
If the people of the same socio-economic status as you when you were "poor" went on holidays in fancy hotels, you were never poor.
You're lying about your former socioeconomic status, or about what the people around you did. Or the third possibility is that you lack any understanding of social and economic problematics, as evidenced by your take that is solely focused on your personal experience.

Yeah, was pretty scary when it first started but thankfully no cases in the city where I live for about three and a half months. Only 400k people though so MUCH smaller than NY.

Yes I've been trying to get more sun but it's been gloomy and rainy and shit lately. Also the sky turns dark at like 5pm, that's gayasfok

Well I'm paying the bills so... It's still their house too though. They can do whatever they like to the downstairs.
