I remember a white kid in my class talking about how his parents made 320k combined and they still “struggle” and thinking to myself: “It’s probably because they don’t know how to manage their fucking money and live above their means, but sure, just pretend it’s not their fault”

A few minutes later, he mentions that they vacation 3 times a year, own 3 cars, and spend $1000 a week (A WEEK) on food.

Long story short, I refuse to feel sorry for any of you upper-middle class folk that pretend you’re struggling financially too when you just have no sort of financial management skills.

What’s more interesting is the juxtaposition between how we perceive upper-middle class people’s struggles vs the struggles of the working class. Whenever we talk about the working class or those near poverty, people love to blame them for their own failures, and yet, when it’s somebody who’s well-off, it’s automatically assumed that their struggles are just an inherent part of the life. It’s amazing to me how far people will go to demonize the poor whilst simultaneously excusing the well-off.
