Crazy that, at my age, the government had paid my dad to get two degrees and he had received the equivalent of 400k in a life insurance policy from a relative dying...

I think there are a few mentalities that people have a hard time shaking. When you're poor, its better to just spend what little money you have when you have it. Like how you can only afford to buy piece of shit cars because you were stuck paying for repairs on the last piece of shit car before it wasn't worth it anymore. Can't afford to buy a house because rent is too much to put anything away, even though you're paying more than most average mortgage payments. And a lot of times its self inflicted as you say. People living just a handful of paychecks between having a roof over your head, or not. But I think other people are forced to embrace living below their means, just so they can pay for things like medical bills.

Why don't you move somewhere less expensive?

>>81829434
Anon... this... this IS the least expensive it gets here. The average is like 600-800 bucks a week... the only place less expensive is living with my parents...

I like being able to do more with my money.

>>81829452
I spend $800 a month living in Canada's biggest city
I used to spend $655 until I moved in April

Lucky ducky! That must be nice. I live in a rundown backwater shithole and pay out the nose to live in a cheaply built house, and I am considered fortunate by my friends and family! I wish I were as lucky as you!

>$480 bucks a week per person in my shared house
Anon what the fuck? That wouldn't be reasonable even if it was a good place...
