Why do "poor" people always have money for beer, cigarettes, cell phones and drugs?
>>
They don't have any bills.

Way of relieving stress for the work and money problems they have. I'm not defending them though
>>
because living paycheque to paycheque requires opiates, so that shit is kept pretty cheap relative to any kind of change in the social order.

what, are you gonna scrimp and save your beer money for months so you'll have a couple hundred dollars for... what? probably will still have a shit job and a shit place and own nothing, in the mean time, shit is shitty, a beer and watching the game sure would take the edge off

When I was poor, I didn't drink and didn't smoke. It was before cell phones, but I did have a land line. You needed one if you wanted to find work.

Until you've worked a shit job and lived on the "income" you'll never get it. The stresses of your life are petty bullshit by comparison. I would know, I clawed my way up from being a retail sales clerk.

Grew up in mostly rich suburb, but there was one trailer park in the district.

One of the trailers would always boast about all the great shit her parents bought. 60" flat screens, tickle me elmo, latest consoles, etc.

At the time, she claimed to have lots more/better stuff than the rich people I knew.

Yet, there were 7 people living in that tiny piece of shit trailer.

She didn't graduate high school.

What could the rich only 200 years ago even understand of the wealth of todays poor? Probably the cigs and booze.

How can we even imagine the blessings the poor will enjoy in only 20 years, much less 200, that you could not obtain with all your wealth today?
>>
Can't say about cell phones but beer, cigs and drugs are kinda cheap, and when everything you make goes towards debt, food, and shit, you don't get a whole lot of extra spending cash.
Or are you trying to say people can't have some sort of escape or enjoyment. just because you don't smoke doesn't mean somebody else can't do it. same for beer or drugs or anything else for that matter.

>never been poor
You don't know me. But I'll tell you that I was "poor".

I worked restaurants, meat cutter, delivered pizzas, chopped logs, mowed lawns, cleaned cars since I was 15 years old. I dropped outta highschool cause I hated the world and I believed the world hated me.

I worked the makelines slapping out sandwiches with nothing on my mind but contempt for the man that owned the restaurant.

When I was 21 I was sleeping under an overpass. I had one joy in life and it existed in the form of a bottle of liqour.

I spent 37 days in county for some stupid shit, and 18 months probation. I tried to " rage against the machine" for the better part of my 20s.


I got tired. I was tired of being a worthless sack of shit. I was tired of walking 4 miles to go earn $7/hr, only to have to walk 4 miles back.

I started taking initiative... I washed the cars faster. I approached the owner. I told him I hated where I was. He bought me a camera, a nikon D50. He let me take pictures of the cars to post online.

Months later I was selling cars on the weekends to help pay him back.

Months after that, I got rehired on as a salesman. I cleared $40k my first year, which was more than I'd ever made...

Long story short, a couple years later, after some different choices, I have my own trucking business. Just 3 trucks, but I cleared $134k profit last year.

So fuck you. And fuck college. I ended up getting my GED and going back. It's a fucking scam. It's all a bunch of selfish brats being spoonfed an entitlement mentality. They graduate and are WORSE off than they were before.

you can't teach another person how to be successful in life. It's a journey that you have to be ready and willing to embark on, and most people aren't.

You have to be relentless in your pursuit... unaffected by failure, and always optimistic in your approach, with a reasonable understanding of risk.

all of those things excet cell phones and drugs dont cost very much, as if poor people couldnt afford them they would kill the rich. They are affordable as they are a way to sedate the angry mob. Plus they cost next to nothing to make so people get rich from it.

Cell phones have contracts that make rich people more money, and drugs are illegal so some people can get caught, go to jail and make rich people money.

There are more productive uses. It may be just a small choice and a welcome creature comfort but it's still just a small choice to stay poor. If you thought real hard, you could probably come up with more.

If you mean Stalinism, fuck you. If you'll get in the ditch with a shovel, I credit your integrity, but question your wisdom.

Even if they didnt slaughter you with their shovels, you'd be remiss to dismiss those you dis.

Because being poor is depressing you faggot
and getting fucked up or going out and having fun makes way more sense than scraping and clawing your way toward mediocrity.

They are poor because they always put their money toward beer, cigarettes, cell phones and drugs while not having the economic stability to afford it.

Yeah. Shit is cash.

All taxes paid by Americans every year doesn't even cover the interest on the debt taken out each year by the country.

'muh taxes' ain't shit. The whole people is subsidized with fededal spending, and a little spending on welfare moms beats bread riots.

This and most of its responses are proof that Reddit cucks are trying to migrate. We need to build a wall around 4Chan and make Reddit pay for it.
