Couple making $400K a year pays $6K in rent and spends more money than they make every month: ‘My wife makes $220K and refuses to keep a budget’
Having a six-figure income doesn’t mean you’re rich. Many high earners should be wealthy, but are actually poorer than those who earn less money. They think that because they have a seemingly endless stream of cash flowing into their bank account, they don’t need to budget and ensure they’re saving as much as possible. They …

Penny pinchers discuss the normal age to hit $100K in savings: ‘It seems like everyone is doing it by 21’
At what age did you save your first $100K? For some of you, that question makes you laugh out loud. You barely have $ 1,000 in savings, let alone 100 times $1,000. Saving a ton of money is not always someone’s top priority, especially if they’re paying off debt or live in a high-cost-of-living area. …

29-year-old squanders $75K inheritance from her grandma, asks her sister who invested her inheritance to pay $8K to fix her broken-down car: ‘She said I am selfish because I clearly have the money.’

‘I paid for $1.00 worth of Ramen with a check at a grocery store. The check bounced.’: Former broke people share the brokest things they did while living in poverty
We all have different definitions of «broke.» I would argue that someone who makes $150,000 a year but has $150,000 in debt is pretty dang broke.

The lie lies in the idea that selling makeup door …

Parents demand access to daughter’s savings account after she reveals her financial state, daughter refuses, entire family gets involved: ‘I’m not a walking bank account’
I’ve said it before and I will say it again – I am very grateful for how my parents raised me to be financially responsible. They taught me how to budget my income, prioritize my expenses, and still feel like I have control over what I can or cannot buy. I was always able to …
