I know so many people who I grew up with that were poor growing up who are.... STILL broke despite having a decent paying job

because they spent all their money

Okay they were poor growing up.... shouldnt that motivate them to be cheap and thrifty and not spend most of their money because they dont wanna suffer like that again....?

IIRC people who are so used to spending their money while they still have it tend to struggle breaking that habit.

Like the mindset is the money will be gone either way.

FFX is the best game of all time. The only good Nintendo franchises are Pokemon and Fire Emblem. Comics are for kids. https://imgur.com/LJ3WSyB Reylo Ship

Not quite so simple when the stress of constant poverty has completely fucked your perception of things.

We're a fragile species.

Besides poor people generally having a worse education, I don't see a correlation here.

Nice disdain, btw.

Are rich people actually better with money, or is it that they have so much that bad decisions with it don't quite affect them as much?

Depends on the person, but someone who makes really bad decisions with money won't stay rich forever. Look at what happened to Mike Tyson.

Rich people stay rich by being cheap bastards.

Poor people that become rich think they need to spend lots now that they're rich.
