Being poor is cool, only if you’re rich. submitted by /u/yuritopiaposadism

How do I not remain poor? I’ve been economically challenged for most of my life. Currently I’m positioned to transition out of poverty into middle income but my fiscal habits and cultural vices have dug a financial hole deeper than any I have ever been in. I’m finding it hard to cope with mentally and as a single guy I have nary a one real life financial advisor I can …

Retired poor and thinking about renting out my house I’ve retired with an income way below what it should be, mostly through lack of planning. I was a software engineer for 27 years so it is pretty embarrassing. Anyway I rent an apartment in Pittsburgh and also own a house on the Northside of Pittsburgh. I had intended to live there but changed my mind recently and was going to list it for sale. G…

If They’d Told Me We Were Poor, I Wouldn’t Have Tolerated the Cynics Though her family sometimes received food stamps and occasionally had their utilities cut off, Marcie Alvis Walker’s parents led her to believe that they were an average middle-class Black family. They encouraged her to pursue her dreams and told her that if she worked hard enough, she’d achieve them. The small catch was that Walker’s dream was …

Stuck in “poor” mindset or actually poor? Need advice. I grew up in what I thought was a middle class family, with what I thought was a good work ethic and some degree of financial literacy. I started working at 15, always kept a $1k cushion in savings, took out loans for college, and eventually started my own business where I take around a 60k salary. Considering this is around what all of my frien…

They encouraged her to pursue her dreams and told her that if she worked hard enough, she’d achieve them. The small catch was that Walker’s dream was …

Authentic ≠ Poor Is anyone else just a bit sick of the phrase ‘authentic travel’ being used as a synonym for people cosplaying poverty? I’ve noticed so many vloggers and met plenty of people myself who talk about their ‘authentic experiences’ when really they’re just comparing themselves to those less fortunate. An example being a couple I met in Laos who told …

If They’d Told Me We Were Poor, I Would’ve Gathered More Rosebuds Though her family sometimes received food stamps and occasionally had their utilities cut off, Marcie Alvis Walker’s parents led her to believe that they were an average middle-class Black family.

If They’d Told Me We Were Poor, I Would’ve Given This Commencement Speech to Other Poor College Graduates Well, look at you. You’re all so brand spanking new, shiny, and gleaming. The world was made for the likes of you as you are now. Young. Supple. Idealistic. Yes, even the goths with their cloaks of (imaginary? performative?) sorrow, black as their black kohl-rimmed eyes. Yes, you are hopeful and just as starry-eyed and dreamy as the sunshiny one…

If They’d Told Me We Were Poor, I Would’ve Ignored the White Gaze Though her family sometimes received food stamps and occasionally had their utilities cut off, Marcie Alvis Walker’s parents led her to believe that they were an average middle-class Black family. They encouraged her to pursue her dreams and told her that if she worked hard enough, she’d achieve them. The small catch was that Walker’s dream was …

Poor MUA Experiences? I just had one and I’m still shocked with the poor quality I received. I did a trial run with a makeup artist that a friend picked for me for an upcoming event. The woman was nice enough, but she: Did a very out of date eye look with zero blending (think 90s Britney Spears) even though I showed a picture of what I wanted which was soft glam D…

How poor were my choices? Last year, I left a job making ~55k and partner made ~19k. Had a mortgage (1400), 2 car payments (300 and 350), and the normal bills. We live pretty minimalist. The new job was a massive increase is pay, ~185k. I realize how fortunate I was. Partner left her job (she was very unhappy) to be a SAHM for our 2 year old. We bought a new house a few …

These Are the Signs of Poor Interoception in Kids Interoception is the ability to recognize internal bodily signals, such as feeling hot or cold, hungry or thirsty. In the same way that the nerves in our muscles and joints will send signals to our brain, letting it know where we are in physical space, the nerves in our organs will also send signals about how full our… Read more…

Is it in poor taste to match wood dressers? I know it’s in bad taste to match furniture sets like this and trust me, I do not want to. This looks like the stuff from an interior design nightmare. But I’m curious if it is also frowned upon to match wood dressers as long as it’s a beautiful piece of design and material. (Also in this example, please act like I’d be matching the two dresser…

House Poor! To Sell or Not to Sell Hi good people of Reddit, I’m hoping you could weigh in on me and my spouse’s current situation. We are in our 30s and have made some major career changes/gone to grad school, so we are somewhat behind others our age and haven’t really had a cohesive financial plan. We have about 100k in equity in our current home and and pay around 3000 with mo…

Echo 3 – very poor ending Having watched echo 3 the TV series, I am somewhat dumbfounded just how bad the final episode was. I’m not gonna throw any spoilers here, but as special forces etc and with the help of the CIA, I just can’t help that the ending reeked of what not to do when doing a runner. I could go into detail but that final ending was just gratituously offens…
