The amount of people who go on about how broke and poor they are that you can pick out like $500 a month of stupidity they could just cut away blows my mind. They won't take any sort of suggestions either, you just get the "you don't understand what it's like because you have money, blah, blah." Yeah, I'm doing pretty well and a huge reason why is I lived for years fumbling with coupons for groceries, not pissing all my money away at the bar every night, etc. so I could save money to better my situation. I bet I still spend less than them on a lot of this stuff 20 years later.
Yeah I'm a big supporters of those who get married young. Almost all of the successful marriages I know were young and started off at least lower middle class or worse. There's something to be said for having to learn to climb the ladder together I guess.
Most vices are mechanisms to bleed poor people of their money. Drugs, tobacco, alcohol, cheap addictive food, status symbol clothes, expensive cell phones, porn, etc.
Cut out a poor person's vices and they'll be a rich man.
It's kinda fucking scary, because it suggests that poverty is the result of predatory industries.
