Why you need to let poor people buy coffee in peace : povertyfinance

https://old.reddit.com/r/povertyfinance/comments/er1qws/why_you_need_to_let_poor_people_buy_coffee_in

Two year old words posting saying that it's problematic to tell the Pours to stop enjoying things and Starbucks/Netflix/weekly funko pops are necessities.

Comments are a mix of people with brains that agree budgeting matters when you're broke and brainlets overdoing on copium for their bad decisions

Edit: Yikes. Where do I begin?

Lmao, this thread is gold.

I liked it. I followed a lot of advice here and harped on my SO about cutting takeout and coffee and all that stuff. Until we did the math and realized it wasn't actually making a dent in the budget. It was like 2k per year. What were we going to do with 2k? Not a darn thing lol. We'd be in essentially the exact same position. So why waste energy stressing about coffee?

Wow, bet they’re doing really well that 2k a year is literally nothing to them.

80k loans, average rate of 7%.

This b-word has 80k in student loans with 7% interest and she couldn’t think of think of any better thing to spend 2k a year on than fricking takeout and coffee.

I'm 31 and still live with roommates if that counts. I pay $275/month for "everything."

This b-word is engaged and apparently getting married soon and still living with roommates. :marseyxd:

Some people unironically deserve to die poor.

Another fun one.

Yup. I used to think I was going to have so much more money when I quit my pack a day smoking habit. Unfortunately, I was just as broke after quitting as I was before. I could breathe better though, so there was that.

Crazy she didn’t save any money after she quit smoking. :marseythinkorino:

I probably paid rent late a little less, maybe, or maybe that was how I got my DSL hooked up. I probably stopped asking my parents for so many handouts and was probably able to put a little more gasoline in my car. Who knows. Whatever I didn’t spend on cigarettes was spent on other needs.

Another r-slur who deserves to die poor.

I am officially obese and it kills me.

Of course it’s a fat foid. :marseychonkerfoid:
