    Yeah even many of the people who grow up poor who become rich have just a sprinkle of luck that can push them to become something. Not everyone is that lucky

    Yeah, it's literally a luck of the draw. Some people will work endlessly to find that lucky ticket but never find it. Others will hardly work at all to get it. Just the way it goes. Cant just tell people they're lazy if they're broke, that's a simpletons way of looking at it.

    Are you "broke" if you spend your income on frivolous things, as opposed to saving?

    This the secret they don't want you to find out. When I was sitting on that unemployment money, I was more frugal than ever because it became my goal to make that money add up more than it subtracted so that I could keep a consistent buffer.

    To me, if I have any less than like 4k in my bank, I'm broke because I'm about 2 major money events away from having no money.

    exactly. i have a certain amount in my checking account that i consider to be a $0 balance, even though it’s not 0, specifically because it forces me to save money

    every time i get paid i try to estimate how much i will need before my next paycheck (including just extra money i don’t plan on spending) and then put the remainder in my savings account which i never touch

    i also have “keep the change” which rounds up all my purchases and puts the difference in my savings as well

    yeah you're making yourself broke by doing that

    What if you have prospects for a more lucrative job in the future?

    It depends on a person's circumstances.

    Yes i live with my parents

    They give me housing and utilities like running water and electric

    Literally everything else i buy myself. Food, water, clothes, furniture, etc

    If i were to get kicked out id still be good because I have a job. I could work two jobs cause i got good qualities and school is online

    If i wasnt living with my parents i still wouldnt be f***ed up lmao

    Would you be good though?

    Finding a place isn't something you can do from one day to the next. It takes weeks, sometimes months. And even then, it might not even be for a spot that you want.

    Security deposit+rent+utilities+grocery and laundry gonna be like 2k right off the bat.

    And then you better hope you're driving a reliable car with no issues cause you don't even wanna know what happens when you have no car and your job isn't within walking distance.
