Re: Controversial Opinions

[ketita]

I agree to some extent. I worked in a welfare agency for a while, and the social workers did talk about how there were people that if they learned to budget properly would have been able to significantly improve their situation.
I think it's not so much spending on expensive shoes, but making a lot of small, poor decisions about spending.
For example, my roommate is hella wasteful. She has dishes, but she eats off of paper basically all the time. So not only is she spending more on paper goods, she also spends a lot on trash bags. And she goes through paper towels a mile a minute.
Or for example, if you want soda, instead of buying it at a vending machine, buy them in bulk and then just take one with you when you want it. Bring coffee/tea with you rather than buying it each time.
Each of these is a small expense, but when added up, they really can add up.

Though also I think that overall, people should stay out of other people's budgeting unless it's a close friend asking for advice or something.

I think it's true that there are some people who never quite learn impulse control, or the difference between a need and a want, and their money will always slip through their fingers no matter how much they make. They probably comprise a fair percentage of the people who make $250,000 a year but claim they're not rich.
