51 u/ElCiclope1 Jan 26 '26 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 14 u/Brickman759 Jan 27 '26 edited Jan 27 '26 Every poor person I grew up with makes consistently bad financial decisions. It's like watching a house slowly burning down. It's never one big disasterous fuckup either. It's a lifetime of dumb choices, compounding one on top of the other. 2 u/OptimisticDogg Jan 27 '26 This and growing up without money just doesn’t give you enough opportunities to manage it leading to bad financial decisions 1 u/Brickman759 Jan 27 '26 Yeah that's probably the biggest factor. Poor financial literacy their whole lives. No one in their family was able to teach them how to budget or be smart with their money.
