What you’re calling “hoarding money” for many is also what you refer to as a “safety net.”

Like owning a house and having a 401k shouldn’t be considered hoarding. Especially since the social security system is fucked. People need to save for their retirement, or else they have to live their old age in poverty and still work until they die.

    They make the distinction because those people getting the safety net are trying desperately to keep it exclusive.
