I know, I know!
I'm squandering my money by not collectively bargaining for a higher wage. I'm literally wasting money on my boss!

Yeah Warren, I'm shitty at being poor but you're shitty at being rich. Living in a tiny ass house in the middle of BFE and driving old piece of shit cars. Fuck off, dragon.
He's just like us, so relatable!
We have some serious income problems but yeah a lot of people waste a lot of money. Big ass trucks and SUVs, eating out, shopping sprees, all the newest bells and whistles, gotta keep up with the Jones.
None of that really matters. The people who can buy big trucks, generally, can afford to. Or at least with debt. Can't get a $100k car loan if you make minimum wage.
These are all small luxuries that people deserve to have (disagree about trucks, but that's just an example). Otherwise it's calling for austerity. Which is something we DON'T need. Not when we have billionaires. If the working class is being asked to tighten their belts, they should instead be looking to the rich who are hoarding the vast majority of wealth.
That being said, we really need to teach young people about finance. It's completely lacking from modern education: be design. People desperate from credit can't afford to quit their jobs for a chance at a better one, stand up to their boss, or risk their job by unionizing or demanding safe working conditions.
Avocado toast
Wait, that's old news. What's the new avocado toast that rich people think we're squandering money on?

They are clearly spending to much money on boycotts.
The boycotts that Totally Won't Work but pleeeese don't corporate will do anything to stop you boycotting wouldn't you like a nice starbucks(tm) iced mocharina?
