but yeah I agree people that made their way to white picket fence are way more likely to say that |

if someone just wants to be a Loser and ngaf they'll convince themselves that any degree of success is rare or doesn't exist basically.
Also libs/redditors really want to think that everyone is poor.

Date: July 5th, 2026 5:19 PM Author: cowgod yeah that's what I'm saying, it exists but the "I grew up poor" people aren't the ones who experience it. Maybe because they'd just say "I am poor atm" lol.
also because of credit cards the poorest idiots can experience Consoles and Disney World at least on occasion. so not experiencing these things is more likely to be parents not wanting to spend money on that shit, possibly combined with being frugal or Indian. |
