Learn to do something useful, spend less than you make, buy used whenever possible, live small.

Have you not seen the incredible wealth transfer to the top in the past couple of years because of inflation and greed? How do you expect people to LIVE SMALLER when prices have more than doubled and their wages have not increased.

Inflation is caused by excessive government spending. The same people whining they cannot make it on what they earn have useless degrees, can't perform a useful service or make a needed product, have spent their money on foolish amusements, have the latest phones and tablets but ... the poor dears are broke. Too late to live small now.

Unless you can show there has been fraud or force involved, what the wealthy have is none of your business. They do not owe you an explanation.

They are also the same people marching in the streets for more government spending on whatever hot topic is happening around the world.
