40 Why do these "conservatives" pretend that this "Pull yourselves up by your bootstraps" rhetoric is a still valid political strategy? (twitter.com) posted 1 day ago by MrGiggles 1 day ago by MrGiggles +40 / -0 71 comments share 71 comments share save hide report block hide replies
I don't teach my kids to save. That's functionally and in some cases literally punished by the system.
I teach them not to waste. To learn the difference between "want" and "need." To secure the important things first and always.
Saving in this day and age is a myth perpetuated by and for the finance vampires.
I like this.
I keep a six month backup that will cover expenses in case something happens to me, other than that my focus is on keeping expenses low, rather than making more.
