These sort of articles often come off as pretentious to me, and this one is unfortunately no different. The first and the biggest issue I have is that the article presents poverty/a poor financial situation as a consequence of being irresponsible with money. Which is in a lot of situations simply not true. Then the article goes on to give you this super easy solution, just save 5 pounds a day, anyone can do that. The reality is however that a lot of people can't do that. A lot of poor people literally only spend on bills and food, telling them to just save more is hardly advice. And the amount isn't as miniscule as the article presents it to be, it's 150 pounds a month. For people who are already saving money, this article basically tells them to spend 5 pounds a day. I won't even get to the latter half of the article which essentially boils down to save up and start investing.
