[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it can be an issue for those who grew up with less and are the only ones in their families that make a good living. Everyone wants (and needs) financial help. It's harder to save and get ahead financially without feeling guilty. [/quote]

Very much agree with this. There are many hands outstretched and a pretty staggering level of entitlement to other people’s money. We have helped many members of our family but eventually it grates on you, particularly for people who make bad choices. [/quote]

[b]So would you rather not have money, and be in the same situation as them?

Of course not.  [/quote]

This gets at the crux of the eyerolls: no person who is wealthy would ever trade places with a poor person. Ever.

I'm not talking middle class, I'm talking POOR and all the ancillary issues that come with being poor: lack of healthcare, lack of nutritious foods, exposure to violence, lack of reliable transportation, dysfunctional schools, disruptive housing environment, interactions with law enforcement, etc. And trying to deal with this while holding down multiple jobs!

All the "complications" of financial advisors, accountants, etc are NOTHING compared to living in poverty. Give me a break. [/quote]

I don’t think the right benchmark for this conversation is against someone poor. I think this is a middle-class vs wealthy question - what problems would you have as a wealthy person that you don’t have as an average earner?[/quote]
