When I was poor I couldn’t afford to go dumping 2 or 4 days worth of work into weird schemes.
Once I did have more money though, I did get swindled, and for probably 10x as much. But I learned.
Maybe the people taking part in these pyramids aren’t as poor as you think, but probably still poor by some standard.
- tomc1985 9y agoSadly there is not very much overlap between that kind of logic and poverty. Remember all the people that blew their FEMA debit cards on strippers and shoes? $150 was a huge amount of money when I was poor. It represented several-days to a week's worth of earnings. You've got to be doing alright for yourself for $150 to only be a day or two's worth of pay, after taxes and expenses.
