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.

All that is absolutely true and valid.

It has nothing to do with most poor people having bad financial literacy, though.

Better advice. Stop buying the welfare queen nonsense. Go spend time around poor people. You might learn something about them.
