I used to go VIP for EDC every year. Always plenty of broke people pretending to not be broke just as much as there are people who can afford it. Lots of people did layaways for the tickets. No one was saying this 10 years ago even though people were doing exactly the same

American is outraged finding out our tax money is being used to buy homes for people on Section 8 “There are Section 8 programs where you can get a mortgage, and take your Section 8 rent payment and put it towards your mortgage.

She blames him, not the people who actually run the Met Gala for the ticket price of $100,000: BEHAR: I mean, I mean, fine, I love Amazon, pay your taxes, Jeff - Bezos. Pay your taxes. And pay your employees and then I'll be happy to do Amazon because it happens to be a very good model for a company. GOLDBERG: Right. BEHAR: But, man, it's depressing to think of what goes on in this country and it cost $100,000 to get into that Met gala. 100,000 and there are people who can't afford gas, they can't afford food. They can't afford bread. It's like we're living in some kind of Louis XV period in history.

When government doesn't perform, you create anger across the board. People don't want to pay taxes if nothing works and those who can afford it look to move to a place where the garbage is picked up, the streets are safe, and you don’t fear getting pushed in front of a subway train — and those who can't afford to leave are even worse off.

Reporter: The price tag for this doj fund, $1.8 billion, you have people that can't afford groceries. Gas is high. People are making sacrifices in their personal lives to accommodate for this rise in prices. People are telling us that they feel financially worse off. They're very concerned about the uncertainty. How can you justify that amount of taxpayer money for that fund when people are struggling? What do you say to Americans who wonder why this fund is getting all this money and I can't afford basic life amenities? Vance: Thanks to Donald Trump's leadership and the working families tax cut, we put $40 billion into a rural health care fund

All of the calls to my district office are either about families being separated by ICE or an inability to afford health insurance, an inability to afford rent, people quite literally going homeless because they can’t afford anything. And then you have Ivanka talking about her bullshit island and Trump saying that he loves inflation. it’s all just disgusting and dystopian.

When you stop negotiating down, you stop filtering for people who can’t afford you. And I don’t just mean financially, I mean energetically & psychologically too. People who can’t afford you NEED you to be smaller. They need the discount to confirm something they already believe which is that you’re not really that expensive / not that in demand / not that certain. So understand that your price is SUPPOSED to make some people uncomfortable. Plus, the right people won’t even blink, bc to them it’s normal. So stop lowering your price! Stop making yourself affordable to people who were always going to undervalue you! Let them go find someone cheaper.

Rent is so expensive in America that after paying monthly bills, Americans have nothing left. Some Americans no longer see the point in living “I hit my breaking point. I literally cannot afford to live — why the f*ck am I alive? Like, I almost just bawled my eyes out inside a Walmart because I realized that I literally cannot afford to live.” “It's either pay money to eat, or f*cking don't pay other bills or pay bills and don't eat — all my money goes to bills. — I literally have no money to survive.” She says she may have to move out of her place because she has no money left for anything

Martin Scorsese explains why money doesn't mean anything to him: "When I’m dealing with a Hollywood film, that means I have to do a certain kind of subject matter that will make a certain amount of money. If I decide to make less money, that means I can take a risk on subject matter. So the only criterion on the films I’m willing to take risks on is that it be truthful, that it be honest about your own feelings and truthful to what you know to be the reality around you or the reality of the human condition of the characters. If it’s something that’s not honest, not truthful, then it’s a problem. If you don’t believe in it, why are you making it? You’re going to offend people to make some money? What for? It doesn’t mean anything. The money doesn’t mean anything. All that matters is the work, just what’s up on the screen. So that’s it. I’m not like some great person who’s out there undaunted, fighting off all these people." (From Scorsese's interview with Anthony Decurtis, 1990) Clip from: After Hours (1985) Director: Martin Scorsese

I went to college and got a job, and I don’t think I can afford the life that my parents could afford.” What is your answer to that young person? Vance: I guess I would say to the young person: You, as an American citizen, deserve to have a good life in this country, and you deserve to have a government that is making it easier for you to start a family, for you to afford a good education, to have a good job, to afford a home. I would also say, while these things sometimes take time, we are already seeing the positive results come from the president’s economic policies.

Do not borrow money to fund a lifestyle. Only borrow to fund acquisitions, start a business, in genuine emergencies, or to invest in education, because those are the only forms of debt that build you rather than destroy you. Borrowing to impress people who do not care about you is the quickest route to poverty. Don’t spend what you don’t have, don’t feel pressured to do things you can’t afford! Drive an ordinary car until you can afford to buy the monster SUV you want, and do not rely on credit to push a big car when you do not even have a title deed to your name. Invest first and enjoy the rewards in your later years. If you invest in your younger years, you will not need to panic about pensions, healthcare or old age. Nothing is more painful than seeing an elderly person without a home, without savings and without a source of income. Many people are destroyed by financial stress more than anything else. Eat what you have killed, and never put partying on credit cards that you will struggle to pay off. It is unwise. A man has potential up to 35, and after that it should be a stable life with certainty. It is hard in Zimbabwe, but elsewhere that is the rule. Studies in Europe, Asia and North America show that peak earning potential for men is usually reached between 35 and 45. Build wealth first and enjoy the luxuries later, because nothing is heavier than the debt of a lifestyle you cannot afford. You end up thinking that you were bewitched, yet you are deliberately making terrible financial decisions, choosing small pleasures today at the cost of a stable and dignified older life. Stop blaming spirits for what discipline can fix.

Those people have already access to the financial industry anyway, because they can pay for a subscription." "So Tether goes to all the people that cannot be served by the traditional financial system, because these people are very excluded, and since they are excluded, they cannot even afford an OpenAI or Anthropic subscription." "Tether is building an open source AI stack called QVAC. It's optimized for small large language models and can run on every single device, from a very basic cheap smartphone to a laptop." "We design AI tools that can run locally, without the need of a connection, because these people most of the time cannot even pay for a connection subscription."

This woman is right: Growing up in London means you can afford to do internships, you don’t have to find £1000s for a deposit to rent a flat- even before your first pay check. Hundreds of thousands of grads are cut off from the London job market not because of talent but because they can’t afford it.
