No amount of budgeting and not eating out is going to make up for the fact that we don't make enough money.

I hear ya, but the sooner people to realization that no one is coming to save / bail you out, you gotta move accordingly.

What good is the woe is me mentality going do. Especially when you see people getting it.

America might not be perfect, but I've traveled places, where there wasn't a fraction of potential or opportunity for people to make something of themselves.

People try to immigrate to this country with nothing, for a reason. There's the potential to make something of yourself.

If you can work two or 3 jobs and save then do it. It's a temporary grind. But can and is done all the time.

In other countries people couldn't even work if they tried.

Nah they would still rather moan and complain about others while they're getting passed up. It's not even about pulling bootstraps up it's the choices. You choose what kind of lifestyle you want and make it happen. It you're making 45k but want a 90k lifestyle do what it takes to make it happen. All it takes is a bit of discipline but people run from the grind while also complaining about where they are in life. It makes no sense.

Because they’re hustling backwards. When you take on multiple jobs you have to have a PLAN for what you’re doing with the money that will actually improve your life later.

Nope they get that extra income and start making new purchases that eat that income up and wonder why they're still living check to check

These new nikkas weak, "Go get 2 jobs", if this was the US before 50s or anywhere else on earth, they would of dragged politicians to the street and starting beating. but we are used to putting heads down and accepting things for how they are. When are you going to say, "i'm going to end up on street regardless cause wages are staying stagnant, might as well as fight". Soon it will be 3, then it will be 4 jobs, then what you finna do?

 

[Elim Garak]

Imo you simply are going to have to make more money by working more right now that's been the only solution I see that's what I've been doing to survive.

 

[MJ Truth]

People shouldn’t have to work 14 hours a day just to make it though

They shouldn’t but they do. It is what it is. You gotta paint within the canvas you’re given.

America has a level of stockholm syndrome when it comes to its corporatists overlords. We have an 'I got mines' mentality and can't see the bigger picture.

How can politicians motivate someone to work though? Or get an education? Or budget?

Broke people aren’t just not spending 1k on Uber eats, they literally can’t. If your client could do that without you supposedly having to
tell her this was financially bad, her ass was far from broke

Broke literally means you have no money.

You understand that right? Maybe you are confusing broke with poverty?

 

[Kokoro]

Wages haven’t kept up with inflation and the wealth divide between the working and elite classes keeps expanding

Nowhere in America can you live off of minimum wage

So yes that is the problem at it’s core, corporate greed. All these companies keep making record profits btw while all this is happening.

Speak for yourself

 

[Wild self]

People be like work harder get 3 jobs eat noodles etc while upper management at your company is getting paid to do jack shyt and lay nikkas off making 5-10x as much as you.



Yall some bootlicking dikksuckers fr on here got to be some of the most out of touch black people on the internet

Some of these c00ns need to be chainsaw'd and hacked due to their bootstraps beliefs. Its utterly disgusting that so called black people defend this BS.

Start killing bootlickers and corporate c00ns

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Didn't someone post a thread saying the average black household makes 45k a year?
I can imagine someone making that much is either struggling to stay afloat or starting to get into debt.
Even if they can pay bills now, they need to account for the cost of living increasing in the future.

That’s called a budget breh
