Oh, FFS. This BS is the exact problem we deal with. I am so, so sick of people who have enough money telling people who DO NOT EARN ENOUGH MONEY that their problem is they waste money. Some do. Others don't. But if you see a poor person DARE to have ONE NICE THING, you blame all their problems on that one splurge. Are you even aware of what the median American wage is? Go ahead, look it up. And then tell me the problem is somebody buying a coffee. (For the record: I am the thriftiest person you are every likely to meet. I make my coffee at home. I bake my own goddamned bread. I hang 100 percent of my laundry up to dry! it is not enough. We need more actual income.)
