How come people with no jobs seem to always have the most money?

[JustinTheGreat]

Maybe I’m just being bitter lol

but I know people who hate to work, only work a couple days a week, or even just do small jobs here and there. But yet they all seem better off than me.

I’ve always had a good work ethic, I've always worked full time or overtime, pick up as many shifts as I can, working 13 hours a day sometimes, but yet I’m still fucking struggling. Maybe I just suck at money management or something. (Which I do. I’ve gotten a lot better but ever since I started serving, I kinda had to learn how to manage my income all over again because I’m not used to getting paid I’m tips)

I just don’t get how there’s people who work 2 days a week but have nicer cars than I do, nicer places, go on vacations. Like how? Please teach me your ways. 😭

- you can steal

- you could be burning your savings

- you could have a secret OnlyFans or other "enterprise"

- you could be leaching off others'

- you could be in some serious debts and maxing multiple credit cards

- you could saving a whole lot of money on stuff that you don't really need or can go by without and they live on less money that you can get here and there and gives you enough for car + one or two other things you happened to see about them, lol

Well, in the USA, if they have kids it is beneficial for them to not work much because then they get section 8 housing (free rent paid by the government), food stamps, and medical/Medicaid all for free and unlimited. They also get discounts on utilities.

The system here is unfair. People that have no kids are taxed more and are actually the ones paying for other people's kids in the school system. Also, people that buy a house are paying property taxes and the lazy people renting on section 8 don't pay property taxes.

Our system here is backwards and punishes the people that work and rewards the lazy and irresponsible.

My dad and cousin both work less than 7 hours a day and have the money for anything they want because when they were in their teens and twenties they worked 14/18 hour days, so now they’ve earned enough status that they can be lazy and still have money, nobody gets freebies without paying for it before or after the fact and it’s why so many rich people kill themselves.

That's why I prefer panama schedule.

Working 3 13 hour shifts or ever 2 twenty hour shifts a week.

I used to be panama, now unfortunately I'm back to M-F and lost my free days.

Sell or take part in selling drugs, someone in the family died and had a life insurance policy or left money, playing government assistance programs or a combination of these things is usually the answer.

The biggest thing is budget and money management. And also not pocket watching lol. Because you'll drive yourself crazy tryna figure out how someone else lives their life.

EBT, stealing while we are at work, and drug dealing.

Panhandling, begging, borrowing, handouts. Maybe they work cash under the table.
