I'm not even that broke and I don't use them. Everyone I know who does is horrible with money.

    Had a 19-yo that wanted to be friends at work trying to buy me delivered food.

    "Dude, no offense, but you're poor, don't even have a car and get paid minimum wage. Food delivery is bullshit."

    He kept doing it anyway.

    I think most people are kind of bad with money, and I think that scales with income.

    I think a lot about some old coworkers (six figure salary). We all wanted to go out for a party after work. A bunch of then paid like $80 for a car. I paid $3 for a subway ride. Got there at the same time.

    Maybe that's not so much "bad at money" exactly as have incomprehensible to me values.
