Did you know that has nothing to do with how much money you make? if you don't save any money you won't have money for unexpected expenses.
> As of 2018 there were roughly 550,000 homeless people in the US on any given night
Heres some other countries homeless populations Germany: 650,000 China: 2,579,000 Canada: 129,127 (36 per 10k) New Zealand: 41,207 (94 per 10k). The US is 17 per 10k just so you know.
- xtian 5y agoLet's say your number for China is accurate (it's not). Why aren't all these free human rights respecting places able to do better on the rate of homelessness than an oppressive authoritarian regime? Let's assume you're right that everyone is just spending all their money irresponsibly. Why isn't our system of free speech and open access to information able to educate people better?
