white trash economics

I grew up poor and around garbage who always made sure that they always had whatever they wanted at all cost. I didn't get to live that way. Used to being overworked and neglecting myself. Also, used to always feeling like I was on the verge of homelessness.

It took years and much more work than it ever should have, but I am now at a point where I can finally live outside of crisis mode and the feeling of everything being life and death. I just hate how it took until getting into my 30s to get here.

I have started taking little trips that I always wanted to go on, and have been letting myself indulge in random shit that I want. Not hoarding money and feeling like I must hold onto every cent anymore. This is the subject of this lesson.

I have gone to Disney World recently, and I've bought some random little tchotchkes as well. I feel soooo weird in doing this, and wrestle with the feelings like I don't deserve it. The fucked up part? Well, the part that is more fucked up than everything I have already said? Is that I am still spending less money than most white trash do in a fucking month.

They seriously spend thousands upon thousands of a dollars on stupid, self-indulgent, self-gratifying bullshit. Shit that IS a luxury and premium, yet they are so spoiled and used to having that they don't see it as such. Let's break it down. Here are annual monthly expenses on stupid shit by retards.

Cigarettes
Vapes
Drugs (the illegal kind)
Medication/therapy. AKA someone to tell one-sided sob stories to, all to score Adderall.
Lottery tickets
"Investments" magic beans/casino/sports bets/crypto
Multiple useless subscription services. Retards feel special for having these.
Drive-thru/take out every fucking day
Energy drinks
Groceries that are nothing but name branded, unfilling shit that they graze on before the next Taco Bell run.

In a single month they are blowing several thousand dollars on this shit. Almost enough to afford to go to Disney World, or do something worthwhile. They don't have to live under a rock, with no electricity, and eat nothing but gruel in order to live and save money. They also don't have to over indulge like how they do, and then always bitch and cry about being poor.

This is why people like this always remain poor. They live far beyond their means and have always been used to having this shit, that they don't see how much of a fucking luxury it all is. They act like they have nothing, while basically living like they are rich despite being trash who works at a gas station.
