I hear this all the time. People will claim they dont have money for emergencies, yet they have a brand new $1,000 iphone 13 or Android, ipad, iwatch and air pods.... On top of that, they drive brand new cars...
I have plenty of friends who are all materialistic, yet they all complain when they cant make rent... I tell them to stop buying stuff you dont need, like the things i mentioned above, but they all give me the deer in the headlights look...
some people know how to set priorities, and others dont...
I still see new comments on here from time to time. Just cant find them now..
