Do you spend your money on those things instead of saving it?
- ChuckNorris89 7y agoJust to humour you, I work in tech, I have a 4 year old mid-range phone, 4 year old mid-range laptop, no cable, no TV, except for some gadgets that increase my quality of life both mentality and physically, I don't smoke and rarely drink but I do buy the best quality food that I can for cooking and rarely go to restaurants. Since I don't come from money, I try to save as much as I can so I can buy my own place and start my own business in the future. Meanwhile one of my youngest friends who works as a bike food delivery agent, owns a MacBook Pro, the latest iPhone, a PS4 with an ever increasing library of games, goes clubbing a lot and complains he can't find a good job.<face:palm> Unfortunately, the latter example is an ever growing category in Europe of future failures since youngsters are told they can be and do whatever they want and opportunities will just come to you if you're patient and if that fails, the government is there to support you. Not saying I'm a poster child for financial success, far from it, I have my own guilty pleasures that keep my sanity intact, everybody has, but most people born in lower class families seem to be clueless about how to get out and it ain't by frivolous spending.
- username90 7y agoI don't spend money on any of those things, I have lived on way less than most articles like this say is possible my whole life. "But, even though you can be happy like that others can't, they need to indulge!", well shit, maybe that has something to do with their poverty then? Why should I help others indulge when I don't do it myself? Sounds like bullshit to me.
