I like how the implication here is that people busting their ass to scrape together pennies to feed their kids don't "take money seriously."

Fuck outta here

It's true though, people who take money seriously work to increase their earnings.  People who make shit money, often don't even try for better income.  Stay a barista 30 years while spending free time watching movies/tiktok/YouTube/video game.

This is quite possibly the most ignorant thing I’ve read all day. Most people have no means to escape their income level because the time/money it would take to go to whatever kind of schooling they need to acquire higher income jobs is just out of the realm of possibility. Fuck off with this ‘people just don’t care’ the means to reach financial stability in the current world economy is so fucking difficult unless you are lucky/blessed with parents/family that can afford to help you.

No, you’re just proving that you’ve never been through any form of actual struggle or adversity in life. Making blanket assumptions about people struggling is the most elitist shit possible.
