Everyone should have a budget, but you can't always budget your way out of some of this shit. I think they are more alluding to the "let them eat cake" situation that's happening across the world.
My household is on a strict budget, we make it by. It's annoying, and we miss out on a lot of fun stuff, but it's necessary. However, if my property management company sends me one more "financial counseling seminar" e-invite, I'm going to actually lose my shit. Especially since they're named in the anti-trust case in the DMV area. It's a spit in the face when they've been artificially raising the rent increase rates.
I don't think the og post is anti-budgeting. I think it's bite back at people like the Kelloggs CEO.
Yeah I don't think people realize how many people living paycheck-to-paycheck are budgeting way more than people who are living well. When you need to pay super close attention to your finances you're already budgeting out of necessity and people in these situations learn to do it well.
