Why do "poor" people always have money for beer, cigarettes, cell phones and drugs?

Why do "poor" people always have money for beer, cigarettes, cell phones and drugs?

They don't have any bills.

Way of relieving stress for the work and money problems they have. I'm not defending them though

because living paycheque to paycheque requires opiates, so that shit is kept pretty cheap relative to any kind of change in the social order.

what, are you gonna scrimp and save your beer money for months so you'll have a couple hundred dollars for... what? probably will still have a shit job and a shit place and own nothing, in the mean time, shit is shitty, a beer and watching the game sure would take the edge off

>Why do "poor" people always have money for beer, cigarettes, cell phones and drugs?

When I was poor, I didn't drink and didn't smoke. It was before cell phones, but I did have a land line. You needed one if you wanted to find work.

Until you've worked a shit job and lived on the "income" you'll never get it. The stresses of your life are petty bullshit by comparison. I would know, I clawed my way up from being a retail sales clerk.

"Poor" kids have hit me up for change, telling me about how poor they are.
Then they pull out an iPhone to check their facebook right in front of me.

Grew up in mostly rich suburb, but there was one trailer park in the district.

One of the trailers would always boast about all the great shit her parents bought. 60" flat screens, tickle me elmo, latest consoles, etc.

At the time, she claimed to have lots more/better stuff than the rich people I knew.

Yet, there were 7 people living in that tiny piece of shit trailer.

She didn't graduate high school.

>because living paycheque to paycheque requires opiates
Have you considered getting a vasectomy?
They'll give you a nice prescription for the pain.

Maybe they are "poor" because they are spending all their money on unnecessary items.

these thing are made for poor ppl idiot

she simply lied ?

>you are not working class
>20 is alot of money for even a poor person to have
>you are not part of the 99%

Enjoy your fantasy you are part of the problem

As an ex wage slave I can tell you, the booze is 100% necessary. Liquor is what kept me from murdering all of the entitled rich faggots with superiority complexes

so alcohol prevents you from beiing a hero ? sounds legit

whatever happens to this thread, this post is the only truth in it

Why do job creators spend money on things besides creating jobs?

Yeah, he could totally go back to the dr, saying his balls constantly hurt, and get a new script every time.

That is correct. If I have to wait on entitled lawyer douchenozzles all day for minimum wage I am sure as fuck not doing it sober. But I got out of that life. Thank god for retards with smartphones.

Because bad decisions and impulse control are a big part of the reason they're poor. If they didn't spend on cigs, booze, lottery tickets, opiates, rented furniture, and whatever other frivolous shit they have but can't afford, they wouldn't be so poor.

app developer?

well i mean i smoke a cig a day. havnt had to buy a pack in a long time. just do it to have some stress relief.also people in pain from most likely things other than poverty tend to be attracted to these things more often than not. its not that they are poor because of that.cigs dont cost a lot man.

Probably lied about some of that, because the entire trailer would be filled with high end electronics and toys with no space left.

Although she did bring the elmo toy in when that shit was +$500

That's right. If you're poor it's a good field to jump into. The money is easy and college isn't really required. Google pretty much let's you put anything up.

>alcohol prevents psychotic episodes
Find a mental institution

because that's why they are poor

barely
my mom pays for my phone
don't smoke cigs
work for a grower
beer is 3 bucks for two bigs cans
my bills are 350 a month just for insurance and fines

I think I'll spend the 3 bucks faggot

Try working a minimum wage job with an infant at home before you judge faggot. And it's called hyperbole faggot.

not digging for specifics, but do you think your earnings will last? i mean, how often do you have to pump and dump your shitty apps?

because without it live is fucking shit

>Why do poor people have phones?
We live in a first world country, being poor here is not the same as being poor in Uganda.
>Why do poor people have drugs?
Not everyone has a yacht with a dozen supermodel strippers to fuck instead of going to Harvard.
>Why do poor people have money for beer?
Not everyone has a yacht with a dozen supermodel strippers to fuck instead of going to Harvard.
>I can't understand what constitutes "poor" in twenty-first century America. I guess I will be a faggot instead.

In America, the simple fact is that the poor are not poor, they just blow their money on shit, and suffer for it.
Go to Africa or South East Asia, and have a look at what real poverty looks like, outside the tourist zones.

Welfare,
Welfare everywhere

A pack is between $5-10. A pack a day for a month is between $150-300. For a year, that's $1800-3600.

And that's just the smokes. But, nah, it's no big deal, huh?

poor people are usually shitty or retarded

there is no excuse for living your life in poverty.

the really dumb ones have a hatred for the rich, despite the fact that rich people make their life possible

Implying that poor people cannot have any fun cuz they are poor. Fuck you

I don't always get mad, but when I do, OP is brutally violated.

/thread

lol and lets magnitize what you spend money on you stupid faggot. been on myfreecams lately? i would bet you have

>poverty is exactly the same no matter where you go

Well, I got lucky with a couple and made some good money. Took most of that and threw it into solid mutual funds. Those have been earning pretty well. The apps are still earning pretty well, and I am now working on a freemium game to go with it. The money right now is good enough that I don't need it to last forever.

This

They dont pay much

>No excuse for poverty
What about being born in it?
>I can choose my parents lelelelelele

found the guy who made clash of clans

Nice republican response

>blaming your failure to acquire wealth on your parents

that is exactly how you stay poor

>the poor are not poor
Go to southside chicago and tell me people are not poor
Marcy projects, new orleans,Virginia where method is killing teens
You're a joke

>magnitize

Kek

Fuck me I wish dude. Jesus christ man, that asshole practically shits pure gold! I said I got lucky, I didn't say I struck tard oil. I'm the dude thats just trying to use his/their buisness model.

the logic in (and of) this thread is bad and you should feel bad, almost all of you are stupid, none of these things are invariable or formulaic

btw guys don't take tylenol if you overdo it your liver will shut down

Take West Virginia for example
Poorest state in the Union
College education rate is abysmal
Cycle of poverty

I live paycheck to paycheck. If I can't get lit up once a week on a cheap twelver of beer ($8) then I would literally kill someone or kill myself.

Implying everyone could be rich...turn off the fox news

>A pack a day
Nigga please he clearly said he smokes I a day . By that a pack last almost a month

underrated post.

You did say that there was no excuse for poverty

Are you telling me that even newborns have the ability to NOT be born in poverty?

college has zero to do with poverty

a degree doesn't get you a job, it puts you in debt with a sense of entitlement that no job is worth working unless it pays what your college advisor said you'll be making

>Simplistic worldviews are always true(TM)
>They are true because they are simplistic(TM)
Stop sucking dick for five minutes and think

Who gives a shit about him? You think one a day is representative of the average amount a poor smoker smokes? A pack a day is probably much closer.

Drink, smoke, and got high while poor. Drink and smoke now that I'm making bank. Keeps me from killing you entitled faggots.

Can't go to college if you are poor to begin with.

>Always
Fuck you faggot

Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying. When you have a child, at least here in the US, you get a hefty tax credit, and you get access to more welfare payouts... most of which are probably not deserved, nor sustainable

First worlders don't know what poor is.
We should put a 100% tax on cigarettes, beer and marijuana to send money to the real poor people in the world, not America's privileged "poor".

>born in poverty

Newborns are born uneducated virgins too but they don't have to stay that way. It's a choice... one that you yourself have clearly made.

yes you can, its called student loans and scholarships

What other pleasure are poor people able to afford but the simplest and cheapest.

>A pack a day is probably much closer.
Bullshit assumptions based on shit

What else does people you don't know spend money on?

eat shit, let the nigger countries perish

I spend $11.90 for a carton, 4 - 6 cartons a month. Less than $1.20/pack. My smokes for the month is less than one business lunch.

>says nothing... smugly

Sup, leddit.

whores, horse betting, casino

Racist American poor people don't deserve the assistance they get, they must be punished for their bigotry.
Where better to start than taxing the vices they don't need?

I'm guessing not grammar lessons.

Also...
>implying I don't know poor people
Nigger, I'm from south St. Louis.

why bring lawyers into this? we are not douchenozzles, btw

...

So you fucked up your life early huh. Fuck people who use their kids for sympathy all you had to do was pull out bust on her hair.

It's not like your tax dollars are going to a different demographic

Clearly has never been poor.
Oh yeah, I forgot, Shit McDick's Unaccredited Community College for Cunts.

Because that's all they can afford

>all these cucks arguing about how poor people are different across the globe.
No shit you fucksticks.
Poverty for average Americans means you have very little money and a burner phone with a means to eat at the least.
Poor in Africa means you live under a tree, probably have AIDS, and can't even eat regularly.

Dubblerz! Im looking at java. Good start?

What about blockchain?

Let's not forget that more white people use welfare than blacks.

Let's not forget that more white people have committed welfare fraud.

Let's not forget that you're a faggot.

Thats a step.

One of my best friends is like this - he always buys the latest shit when it comes out, he got a ps4 like a week after release, and then he built a gaming computer, bought a whole shit ton of steam games, etc. And now he's buying a new computer and planning to get a fucking HTC vive. And he wonders why doesnt have enough money to go to the fucking dentist.

Let's not forget how much of a useless nigger you are.

>Clearly has never been poor.

You're right. Too well-spoken.

Let's not forget whites are 60% of the population and blacks are 13%.

...

this is a choice he is going to regret in the future

Bullshit.

agreed, have some reddit gold friend

Just omit the fact that whites are around 60 percent of the population and blacks are around 13 percent. Good job, faggot.

Because Black people know how to get the tax paying citizens to pay for everything else in their lives

I don't. I barely have enough money for food either. I play video games which could be looked at as a waste of money, until you realize it takes me months to save up for one game.

The lazy blacks and whites both should be sent to work camps, to make their contribution to society.
Socialism requires service.

We continue on the path of development.

What could the rich only 200 years ago even understand of the wealth of todays poor? Probably the cigs and booze.

Just making a goddam phone call couldnt be bought for any price, in lives or treasure. Why wouldnt you have a phone at any price today, even if the $50/mth for the service was half your income?

How can we even imagine the blessings the poor will enjoy in only 20 years, much less 200, that you could not obtain with all your wealth today?

Can't say about cell phones but beer, cigs and drugs are kinda cheap, and when everything you make goes towards debt, food, and shit, you don't get a whole lot of extra spending cash.
Or are you trying to say people can't have some sort of escape or enjoyment. just because you don't smoke doesn't mean somebody else can't do it. same for beer or drugs or anything else for that matter.
Life sucks and saving isn't easy if you got shit to save.
