“‘I don’t get why poor people don’t just budget better.’ Ah, yes, the CEO of life, right here.”

“I know folks who grew up poor, fell into a good-paying job (at least in relation to their upbringing), and adopted this mindset.

I’m always like, ‘How do you not remember where you came from?’

Good budgeting when you are poor is hard as hell.

I grew up fairly poor but do okay now, nothing to brag about, but I enjoy luxuries and a comfortable life that I’m quite thankful for — and I never, ever let myself forget where I came from.

That’s in no small part because all it takes is one catastrophic illness or other bad turn in life to end up back there again.

But more importantly, it’s because you’ve got to remind yourself that getting some lucky breaks doesn’t make you better or harder working than someone else, it just means that you got lucky enough for your efforts to fall into place. I did work hard, yes, but there was also good fortune involved, too.”
