I read some of your arguments but I am not convinced, at all. You can't just say "This is generally not true" without substantiating your argument. Its a bold claim to say "Keep enjoying your $120/month coffee" when your condition is dire and you're trying to lift yourself from poverty.

That's twisting the argument at hand. I didn't say buy a $2000 honda civic that's gonna leave you astray for your job interview.
I've lived and pulled myself out of poverty - just FYI.
- DoreenMichele 7y agoNo, it's not twisting anything. People make decisions in the context of their actual lives. People trapped in poverty usually need something more than "one cool investing tip" or so-called self discipline.
