The problem is that the people in the middle class try to live above their means. You have the choice of being the poorest of the rich or the richest of the poor. Of course being the poorest of the rich will make you miserable.
- drzaiusapelord 10y agoIts still a meanginless rat race even if you make a special effort, like I do, to keep expenses low. I just had a 30% property tax raise and other little surprises this year. You can't just say "live economically." Shit happens and the people who get into financial trouble aren't often reckless. They just had a bad run of luck or a health issue or whatever. Even then I still need to work 40+ hours a day, handle a commute, handle work stress, handle work politics, etc.
