I remember many times reading personal accounts of people mention how "we were eating good" when they got a paycheck or extra money in some way. But later on I read them say how they would be struggling to pay bills and only have ramen to eat.

I realize that I could never see eye to eye with such people since I would never find myself blowing so much money just because I appeared to have extra. Long term thinking, it is not for everyone, it seems.

This relates to one of the problems that many broke people have. There is no amount of money you can give to someone to save them from being broke if they are just going to blow through that money until they run out.

Poverty is often a result of stupidity. This may be inconvenient to leftists who think they can solve economic inequality. Because no policy can truly fix self destructive stupidity.
