Holy shit, do you honestly think not buying a latter or Taco Bell once or twice a month would be enough to save for retirement?
You're like one of those "don't eat avocado toast" people.
Crazy how defensive you get when I am asking what your plan is.
If you are doing the best you can with your budget this thread doesn't apply to you and there's no need to be offended. Many others do not make good financial decisions and need help preparing for their future. Financial budgeting education is lacking in our schools, and many learn the hard way.
Promoting narratives that nobody can do anything to better themselves financially is irresponsible.
I'm getting defensive because I said I had nothing to save and your response was questioning what I was doing for my child as if this was my fault.
Because here is what I said:
In response to that, you said:
As if I could plan for my daughter's financial future if I just didn't have a latte and buy my daughter Taco Bell once in a while rather than not have savings because I'm fucking poor.
Can't imagine why that would make me defensive.
What's next, telling me it's my fault for not being wealthy?
