Circumstances

my dad had 40 year retirement and was not a frivolous spender.

He lost all his retirement to the medical industry. Taking care of my mom, mostly.

Lack of effort my ass, he spent 40+ years working a job he hated. Why do people have 3 jobs and can barely make ends meet? We are not all stupid.

I've been on the blue collar force for 18 years and I've thought about just calling it quits.

Lack of effort is the cause.

Bad circumstances affect the amount of effort needed.

It isn't one or the other. It is one and/or the other.

It can be both or one of them.

Silly topic.

AND = true if both conditions are true, false otherwise

OR = true if one of the two conditions are met

therefore, if you meet both conditions, it still qualifies as an OR

if you want to say that only one of them can be true, use "EITHER x OR y"

this is stupid. It's obviously a combination of both


And sometimes just one.

Trying to generalize this is idiotic.

Yup. Trying to come up with any sort of stat or number or anything would just be dumb. Its a person by person type of thing.

This, tbh. Although the combination itself can vary.

No both option, you might want to revise that as poverty can often be caused by both.

Exactly.

Also tc didn't even include living beyond your means. Which is another auto fail. I know people making well over 100k a year who are broke as anyone. Actually worse when you factor in debt.

Okay. EITHER you are arguing semantics OR you are not arguing semantics.

Why? Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's the other? And apparently, it's usually both.

But get hospitalized and tell me when you come out. Are you even a US citizen?

If so, explain.

I am 36 and have no kids. I am thankful I was raised as a child from the early 80s.

There is no reason to be poverty stricken in the US or the West really unless you have a mental illness, addiction, or was reckless having a bunch of kids you cant support. As long as you dont have those things you arent ever going to end up on the street or totally broke unless you are a complete loser.

And this is why we fail. This ego shit right here.
