[quote=Anonymous]Lots of people of all wealth ranges are poor money managers. See the "struggling on 400K a year" threads. I grew up poor and one of the key things that helped me get out was that my parents taught me good money management. That's a gift and I realize it. But I do get annoyed when I see poor people who do things like smoke a pack a day, buy expensive drugs, have all the latest electronics and game systems, and then complain they can't pay their rent or buy food for their kids. My brother is a teacher in Appalachia and sees it all the time. Mostly I complain because I'm mad for the kids as the parents do nothing to help them escape the cycle of poverty. I don't expect them to be perfect but I do expect their not to be completely and utterly irresponsible over and over.[/quote]
