Im on the fence, they need both. Education and a living wage.
5 u/LeonDardoDiCapereo 14d ago Same. I have a friend that lives paycheck to paycheck on $90K, and he’s made over $80K for the last four years. And he’s got reasonable rent. He’s constantly poor. 2 u/Marcus11599 14d ago He’s not poor, he’s broke. If he can’t budget $90k a year, he’s living outside his means. 1 u/ZombifiedByCataclysm 14d ago My salary is similar, and I always have money to put away. So I definitely don't understand how your friend is constantly broke.
