I’m working poor and always have been. I never mind buying other people drinks or paying for their fares or whatnot, even if they make more money than I do.
My philosophy is that I don’t make nearly enough money to ever become rich or even well off, so what would it matter that I turn every cent around fifteen times or not? If at the end of the day I’m happy, and at the end of the month I’m not starving, then I’m living.
I’m suffering from enough shit already (chronic depression, adhd, etc) that complicating my life extra by tracking every red cent in order to deny myself and my family the last few pleasures making life worth living is not an option.
Of course, with this kind of attitude it’s unlikely I’ll ever become rich, even if I find a high-income job, since I care little about “making it grow”. For all I know WW3 could break out tomorrow rendering EUR & USD near worthless. Then what does it matter how much you saved up?
