I don’t know that it’s the frivolous spending that has people using food banks.
I can appreciate the sentiment here (I actually have a coworker with rich parents who practically gives me an aneurism every time she mentions her finances) but I don’t think the people who are frequenting the food banks are the ones who are choosing between upgrading to the latest phone and keeping their old one, I think people using food banks are the ones deciding between eating and paying the cheapest phone bill they could find.
Not trying to argue with you for the sake of arguing either, just wanted to advocate for some empathy.
I am referancing what I noticed about people’s spending and shopping habits 3 years, 8 years ago.
For example the only reason why there are $1500 phones is because they continue selling. I dont use any cell service because it’s not worth the money every month. And yes that means I don’t data service when I’m outside because the internet is not that important, whatever happens online can wait until I’m conneced to wi-fi somewhere again.
My whole life I’ve always been against million dollar homes, the ones 10 years ago, 20 years ago, that cost a million, that is pure indulgance. I find those houses have no soul, no character, they are showroom houses. Buy a cheaper house that has more of a family feel to it.
