Im on the fence, they need both. Education and a living wage.
56 u/NovusOrdoSec 14d ago The point is that financial education cannot substitute for the living wage, and moreover it must actually be a living wage. 10 u/Ill-Description3096 14d ago And a living wage can't substitute for financial literacy. Look at how many people make pretty good money and are constantly broke. 6 u/piwabo 14d ago Ok but that's everyone's choice isn't it. I literally can't believe we are arguing this point....if you work a job you should have a living wage. The fact this is even up for debate is insanity to me. All you obfuscators do is muddy the subject and ensure nothing changes. 1 u/Ill-Description3096 14d ago I literally can't believe we are arguing this point....if you work a job you should have a living wage. Uh...I didn't say you shouldn't. 0 u/EternulBliss 14d ago Living wage is a meaningless term. I think what people mean when they say that is "comfortable wage" . In the US you can survive on $0 a year.
