The truth of it applies to a lot of things though; if money is tight and you have to buy some quantities it means you pay more for Toilet paper. Paper towels.

Toilet paper.
Paper towels.
You can’t stock up when soup is on sale. Or tuna. Or other x canned item.
Shoes, do you buy lightly used, or do you buy whatever is on clearance ?
Clothing: nothing from Walmart ever seems to fit right. Used shirts and pants always seem to fit just a little off. Is there a Burlington coat factory, or a Gabe’s, or similar near you? Maybe you can grab something cheap. If not, you may have to spend entirely too much of your paycheck to replace some pieces of clothing you probably have to have for work. (Example of this, I used to know people making barely more then minimum wage, who didn’t have a car, and had to pay way too much to keep buying cheap pants when they got holes in them so they wouldn’t lose their job ).
- dwaltrip 8y agoYes, that is why I said it has some truth to it. Perhaps I could have been more clear in my criticism. It is simply a very incomplete description for why some people have more wealth and income than others. It is one piece of a large and complex puzzle.
- Vendan 8y agoYeap. I mainly meant it as a fun alternative to the rather more standard "Obligatory xkcd" posts :D. Also, I'm a huge fan of Terry Pratchett.
