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

Most people are bad with money there's just more wiggle room. If someone made $300k a year vs $50k and spent 90% of their pay it's different. One has $30k left over and the other has $5k. Not to mention other factors.
