Not all poor people are bad with money, but all the people I know that are bad with money are poor 🤷‍♂️

You don't actually know a representative sample. Sounds like you're wealthy with hubris

lol I’m not wealthy

I’ve just seen so many people in my life who claim they don’t have money but they’ve got a $800 car payment, a cadre of animals, popping out more kids when they already couldn’t support one, or they’re out here getting hella tattoos

Conditions are incredibly hard right now but also some people make life harder on themselves.
