Doing anything other than sitting at home 24/7 will make you poor, and even that will cost you.

You can spend your way to poverty, but you cannot save your way to wealth.

Weird how I've seen a number of rich people do all of those things, and they continue to be rich.

It's gotta be something else...

“Watered bottle”

Video Games being on the list is hilarious. Ever since the death of the arcade, those are some of the least expensive things I buy for how long I use them. Paid $20 for Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, Terraria, and Vintage Story. I have thousands of hours in the first three and around 500 hours in VS.

If I stay in school forever, I'll never pay it back. I'm taking these negative numbers with me to conscripted war and/or the grave!

Just remember, we could house every single person on earth when it doesn't concern capitalism. We make double the amount of food every day to feed every person on earth every day and we toss but still have homeless and hungry. Just remember that.

Don't forget eating food will generally make you poor, and renting a cardboard box on the side of the road will cost you $10,000 with a $3,000 go fuck yourself fee

cause alcoholism is strictly capitalist

I impulse buy a lot. That is not in any way making me poorer, though. For reference, I impulsively buy pens and yarn.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.
