My widowed grandmother supported her three kids by running a tavern during the Depression. Her late husband helped her to set one up before he died. He told her that no matter how bad times get, people always have money for booze and cigs, and he was right. Some things never change.

[@United.StatesNavy]

W Grandpa.

[@Bluelinechevy82]

The unfortunate truth.

[@rcjdeanna5282]

Neighborhood bars were popular during the depression because people doubled up in living quarters and needed getaways for a little bit. This was true of barber shops and beauty parlors. I'm sure your grandmother enjoyed the beauty parlor.... try to be understanding. People need their little pleasures.

[@omgwhatever]

I've been noticing and saying this for 30 years about tattoos, cigarettes, alcohol, eating at restaurants, Starbucks, bars, and the need for name-brand food and soda vs generics; and more-recently about new cell phones and food delivery / takeout. Also, paying 2x normal price for convenience store items or paying 2x for soda at Home Depot vs a grocery store (basically, not even trying to save vs. the convenience of now). It's so annoying when they ask you for money that you'd never spend on such things for yourself, and when you bring that up they get mad. It's just insulting.

[@Stevesguitarchannel840]

People who are poor, will always be poor it’s like most professional athletes and musicians, especially rappers. They make millions of dollars but 75% of them are bankrupt and forgotten five years later and it’s because they come from poor families and want to look rich if you listen to any modern rap video it’s always about getting your paycheck going to the club Poppin bottles, smoking cigarette, smoking lots of weed drive, the flashy sports cars, get big booty, wiggling at your face ball flashing money etc. but you will notice that many of these Rapstar’s will be bankrupt and forgotten in less than 10 years for example Lil Wayne he was a hit back in 2008 but today I can guarantee he’s probably on the edge of bankruptcy and most people forgot about him.

#16: Child support- why keep putting yourself in a situation to create a family you have no intention on taking care of? Why keep reproducing to end up having the courts taking money out of your check? Why put your driving (license) and traveling privileges at risk (passport) for financially abandoning your kid(s)?

[@therrendunham5594]

You could have just said that last sentence and left it at that. Everybody's situations are different. Marriages end; one or the other partner (perhaps both) is cheating/abusive/addicted. People grow apart. Life happens. As a man who (proudly) paid his support obligations, I can't express enough how much I resent the insinuation that men who pay [court-ordered] child support are inherently deadbeats. I wish it had worked out with my daughter's mother, but it didn't. But even when I faced multiple deployments to the Middle East, even during those moments when I was eating baby food in the barracks, even when any stimulus check I might have been eligible for went to the system first, I made sure that my child had the financial support she needed. (And before you ask: YES, I was present and involved, at least as much as the Army could allow, during her upbringing.) It was rough, it was hard, but I still did it--of course because I love my child, but mostly out of love and respect for my own father, who paid his. I mean, you could have easily said "not all fathers," and we'd get that. But you could have just as easily said 'childbearing,' under the same admonishments mentioned above. But that would place responsibility on both parent, I guess, so why bother.

I lost everyhting in life and I am now 35. I had no chance to start again and broke and running in circles. I dont drink, dont smoke or take drugs. Only drinking water. Since I have no way out I started gambling sport bets but only sport bets. But not to become rich just to leverage my little money into a few thousand. Then I spend it on lottery playing big. I hit a few times 5 numbers and got over 10k Then i spend it until zero and right after i was broke again my numbers came and I missed 34 milions... So after I started I would be finished within 2 month. Well I didnt give up an after 2 years I hit in the end and have over 60 milions. In the road to that goal i hit a few times 10k,50k,100k. I eliminated fear and spend it always to zero and then started again with 100 to make it into a few thousands by sports betting and then lottery to hit again 10-100k. When i hit it i would spend all 10k or 100k into one single day of loterry. If there is no way out you have to gamble. Or invest in stock market if you have a job. Since I had no job i couldnt invest in stock market, because the government wouldnt allow it since you get payments.

[@andreathompson-bg4hl]

This hits my childhood square in the face. My mom loved her nails, fancy perfume, cigarettes, booze, pets, and fast car. My dad was tatted up, drinking, smoking, on drugs, shooting fireworks, living on takeout, multiple animals, always on holidays in rented houses, buying lottery tickets. We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 people and had barely any money for food and nothing for us in terms of school activities. We were literally quoted if it cost money you can't do it. It still echoes in my head as an adult. I have to remind myself that i can do anything i want with my own money now. And none of this list is on it.

[@TheMcleodGirl]

God bless you.. you broke the cycle..

[@zarosderer4447]

my brother i will give you some advice you will decline first but do it even if it sounds not good. I know this from experience and many other rich people did this when they were poor. Get a loan and invest it. Or go study and take a student loan. Take the maximum of loan you can get. Live with low fix costs and invest the money. This is the only chance poor people got. You have to leverage. Even gambling like sports bet could get you a bit leverage money by beting 10$ and turning it into 500 or 2k so you can have a puffer for buying better food and investing more or buy important stuff. But you need a big loan. I dont know how you get it in the USA. But in my countrey students from university can get up to 90k loan over a period of 5 years. Maybe in the USA its more. But if stay focused and study while nearby saving money and living only by cooking your own food and drinking water you can spend the rest you got. Invest in stocks and only american shares and the good ones. Stay away from loser shares like consumer ingredients companies like procter gamble, coca cola or mcdonalds or american express bla bla Go for the big tech companies nvidia and co. Thank me later in 10 years. And a few little credit cards with low loan should be your backup in case you need little money for little spendings to eat as an emergency because you run off money before the month ends. Focus Investing. Your only chance to break your chains and get freedom.

Think about that. We have no perspective in this country, how much does the average person in this country make compared to the billions of other people around the World making an average wage of $2.00 a day. Why are we so over medicated and miserable, it makes no sense!

Another man asked to borrow the spare fuel can from my car - he walked to get it filled with fuel stop then topped his fuel tank up to drive to the fuel station. He thanked me as he was unable to drive home. He had $120 in his wallet to get him through until he was paid. Others went to the pub after work & boozed up before needing to sober up to drive home.

Woman who are broke often buy cheap accessories that everyone can tell is cheap, and they go to a nail salon to have even cheaper looking fake nails done. That's such a silly expense that doesn't provide you anything. Guys often buy games or sports gadgets that aren't really required for anything but your ego. I think people not making their own food, and buying expensive coffee every day, is such a giant waste of money, I'm not sure if these people even understand how much more money they would have if they'd make coffee at home and cook their own meals. People spend hundreds on coffee on the go, what is wrong with them? A coffee made at home costs less than a dollar... Sweats and snacks are also something that not only lightens your purse, but also screw with your health, so it's a double loss. The trick is, to not completely try to avoid it, but to have just bits every now and than in order to not have a craving build up that ends in a slaughter of several packages of gummy bears.

Alex is the best! I really understand what they are saying and it all just resonates with me, 100%.

A good question will yield a good answer, and visa versa. Wealthy people always seem to ask questions that get to the heart of the matter. The resulting action will always be based on an informative answer. Rich people ask a lot of excellent questions which leads to excellent choices which leads to money in the bank. Poor questions yield poor answers and, therefore, poor decisions are made which can be very costly. That's my two cents! Ask excellent questions to live an excellent life.

I’d also prepay my childcare bill in full for the semester when I got my loan check. I used the rest for formula, baby food and diapers. I would often go hungry and had a hard time staying above one hundred pounds. I would go to Wendy’s and order a soda. Back in those days, the crackers for the chili was kept out on a counter with the plastic eating utensils. I would sneak and eat the crackers for a meal.

As someone with Autism I do things just as "stupid" with almost no money, only they are mostly different to these things, eg getting CDs. Attacking people for using credit by saying condescendingly "just because you can afford the downpayment doesn't mean you can afford the item" why do you think we have to use credit, Einstein! Just because we're poor we shouldn't even have a TV, a car, a PS4, a newer phone, if it's going to take nearly a decade to save up then credit means you get it sooner, life's too short for that. New phone? get an Android model, less controlling, more features, camera likely better and higher resolution than premium IPhone, doesn't cost over a grand. You could say the same moronic thing about houses, just because you can afford the downpayments doesn't mean you can afford it, does that mean you think that the millions who managed to get mortgages rather than stuck just renting (less and less these days can buy) should have sodded trying to get their own house

You’re missing the point: you can’t get out of poverty while continuing these spending habits. If you love poverty, by all means, feel free to waste your money. But if you seek financial stability and freedom, you have to make changes. Read books that can teach you wealth building habits and thinking, like Millionaire Next Door, Rich Dad Poor Dad, etc. Learn about compounding interest, and how much saving $5-$10 a day turns into over time. Or, like you seem to be advising, accept your fate as being broke, and bathe yourself in bad financial choices and debt. You have the freedom to decide where you end up.

I always had money for cigarettes. I'm glad I quit when they were around $2.50 a pack. Now they cost four times that amount in my state.

Two other things that the poor spend tons of money on are piercings and fancy clothes.

If you look like a freak, then you'll probably be stuck in minimum-wage jobs for the rest of your life, if you can find one.
