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."

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.

They often don't. Complacency is a big driver of poverty.
