*person who has a lot of money voice* “it’s all about BUDGETING. it’s all about what you PRIORITIZE. you should open up a SAVINGS account. you should try make smart investments”
This is fantastic advice????
have u ever tried making smart investments when you’re living paycheck to paycheck lmao… have you ever tried starting a savings account when you have $8 in your checking account and that’s supposed to feed you for the next two weeks… have you ever considered that poor people don’t need to be told to budget or prioritize because that’s literally all they do and every tiny purchase requires major thought and consideration and careful planning… have you ever considered that people who tell poor people to prioritize and budget are literally Rude and understand nothing about how much work and effort goes into being poor… have you ever considered that poor people hear this advice all the damn time and it does not help and it is the wrong thing to say to someone who is unsure if they are going to be able to eat or not… did u know normally poor people don’t have trouble prioritizing and aren’t “accidentally” buying expensive clothes with grocery money or whatever, they just literally don’t have the money to spend… it’s not great advice it doesn’t help poor people and no poor person alive needs to hear it

And Imma tell you something. You wanna talk about “budgeting” n shit… Ask me how I ended up having to work a week in the hole, after not having any hours for damn near 2 months, had literally $5 to my name THATS IT until NEXT THURSDAY… Being broke requires a lot of fucking thought. I could’ve spent my last $5 on some fast food but you know how I’ve been living? (Borderline starving) I went to the store and bought a jar of peanut butter and the cheapest loaf of wheat bread I could find. PEANUT BUTTER SAMMICHES AND WATER. Don’t talk to me about “budgeting” EVER if you’ve never had to stretch $5 over the span of 10 days.
