so why the fuck do we shame poor people for giving themselves little luxuries like starbucks and second-hand designer purses but nobody says a damn thing about rich people wasting extravagant amounts of money on gold-plated toilet seats and shit?? if you have so much extra fucking money that you’re spending it on a third sports car you may as well donate it to someone who really needs it. why the FUCK does society try to shame poor people for not wanting to be miserable all the time but turns a blind eye to rich fucks squandering huge amounts of money on useless shit. why.

Don’t you get sick of?

People coming into places like the dollar store, walmart, mcdonalds who record their “experience”.

Like yeah. It can be hilarious at times like dollar trees pregnancy tests and dubious toys but come-on. Often see them denounced for the wrong reasons.

Poor people things

Being apathetic and/or ignorant to trends, franchises, and hobbies (because lack of money). And then not being able to really connect to people and friends or generally engage in conversation because hell, either

1. You are hoarding money 

2. Even if you have the money it seems like a waste to participate

3. Again, apathetic and used to qualming any excitement you may have about anything cause you know sure as hell you ain’t gonna be getting it any time soon or ever
