    My sister won a good sized settlement once, well more than a year's pay for her. Since it was her employer settling, the payment would be treated as taxable salary. She talked to an accountant to see of there was anything she could do to save money on taxes, like spreading the payments over 2 or 3 years. A couple of days later, the accountant called and said she could possibly save $700 by spreading it out over 2 years, but as that wasn't a lot of money, he didn't think it was worthwhile to bother. My sister said, "Well if $700 isn't a worthwhile amount of money to you, how about if I just deduct $700 from your fees then?"

    In honor of my friend Marta, who sadly passed away being too young: she came from a wealthy family but would never talk about it. It took me some time to find out when I met her. She was actually quite ashamed of some members of her family because she understood that you can't make people who have less than you uncomfortable. When she was old enough to move out, she started saving and eventually bought her own apartment, instead of asking mom & dad for one of their properties or the money to buy it. The only kind of rich person I could ever be friends with.

Work hadn't given me any money, so I rang them to say what had happened and I was told "just pay it & we'll reimburse you". I had to say out loud, in a crowded setting, that I didn't have $1200.00. There was shocked silence on the end of the phone & I had to go back to work & let somebody else deal with it.

      At this point, now it's expected of us. Several employers now give out work schedules specifically arranged for you to have time for a second job. Nevermind that the minimum wage does not at all reflect the cost of living. We live to work, here. Not work to live. And what's more, even with two jobs, nevermind three, there is absolutely nowhere in this country that any one person can afford the jacked up rent costs of an apartment. We are back to generational homes. Because the parents need the kids' help, and the kids need a roof over their heads. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave is now Land of the Slaves and Home of the Broke. Low income rent where I live is either equal to or greater than the mortgage on our house. And the best part? The Boomer generation didn't take care of ANYTHING over here. So loads of houses on the market that are for sale anywhere from $30,000 to $70,000 still have another 30 to 70 grand in repairs that need to be done. So it's also Land of the Money Pits. We're not even surviving, here. We're just alive. There's also a hiring shortage. Loads of people do actually want to work. My girlfriend is applying to multiple places on a daily basis and has actually received formal "Please stop applying because we're not actually hiring" letters. I saw it coming one week into the lock down. All the businesses that stayed open discovered they could force their stores to run on skeleton crews. So now almost everything is short staffed as a result, and they STILL won't hire more people. My grocery store has eight manned registers and eight self checkouts. Wanna know how many staff are working? On a good day? THREE. We run ourselves ragged scrambling for work when no one wants to pay more than a handful of employees, and college graduates with Masters' degrees are expected after years of loans and steadily falling into debt to work for the same pay as a high school drop out. Masters' and PhD's are now equal to a G.E.D. or Good Enough Diploma, as the joke goes.

Seeing these rich ppls lifestyle...makes me think of my own country, India. Here whether u r rich or poor, we are all taught the value of money and most of them are not haughty. They wear regular clothes too (Unless u r like TV celebrity) and drive in ordinary cars (Unless u r politician) U can see ppl from almost all walks of life in grocery stores, regular clothing stores and parks. Here ppl want to experience ordinary life, be it rich or not. That's how ppl stay rich here. Save money. Don't spend much. 4:26 Yeah that was a dumb question to begin with. If they r the child of a rich person, why would there be loans to begin with? 4:56 Mighty generous of those rich folks. Here no matter how rich or not rich u r, we go crazy for sales.

      "Store brand" are generics manufactured by the stores themselves. They are cheaper than name brand. So Coca-Cola is the name brand, but most grocery stores will also have their own no-name cola on the shelf beside it which is cheaper. It's regarded as being of inferior quality (whether or not it really is), and something only people worried about money buy, so it's a symbol of poverty.

      Currently good quality lamb costs about 4 times what boneless skinless chicken breast costs and more than steak, as much as 3 times more. Here in California if you have lamb it is usually in the form of lamb shish, kebabs, in an Armenian or Greek restaurant. Hence no mint jelly or sauce. My grandmother was from England, of Scottish descent so I've had leg of lamb or chops with mint sauce.

It was in the middle of nowhere, there was no public transportation and I did not own a vehicle. I couldn't afford one. This butthole knew all of this. So through Facebook messenger one day he contacts me out of the blue and he asks how it's going and I reminded him of all the aforementioned issues and he asks me why don't I get a job? I was furious. So I told him that if somebody who was a little better off could maybe see their way to helping me out with a little money it might improve my situation. He responded "well, good luck with that. ttyl". Wasn't long after that my brother told him to f*** off for good.

      In the US, it is very much seen as a you problem.

I've had a very rough history (abused, disabled, homeless, chronically ill, living in poverty on government benefits) and often when I talk about what it's like to someone middle class or above, they cannot comprehend, go oh shucks, and are never heard from again. The higher their income the worse it is.

My boss's kids all just got beach front homes in the past two years while the country is going homeless.
