While this seems Callous I actually agree with the budget part. A lot of people don't know how to or don't care to. I'm in the latter category.
I could budget a lot better but I don't care to honestly and that's my own fault I guess. I spend a lot of money on unnecessary things like travel and going out for dinner but to me I feel like if I'm not traveling or going out for dinner then what's the point of even having a little bit of money?
I know a guy who literally has over 100 million dollars in money and assets in Calgary and if you seen him you'd give him a dollar. He looks homeless. He is known to be very cheap. Whats the point of all that money? I rather live a little if that means a family vacation every year over having an extra 10k in savings then so be it. I know it's not smart financially and other don't even have the luxury of making those choices but I just can't live like that. I wish I valued a single dollar like that man with all that money.
As god as my witness as I'm typing this my wife is looking at the Flipp app and just said "how do people afford to shop at sobeys".
This is honestly a crisis. There is no way the majority of families can afford to feed their family healthy food or even unhealthy food right now.
