Advocates of the 9-9-9 explain how this graphic appears "fair"

[jackstar7]

Oh f*ck you, I'm not rich. I have to choose between the things I want and what I need. If I don't have the money, I don't buy the shit I want. People need to wake up and start making better choices. Bullshit about bad luck isn't the reason most people are hurting, it's because they're over their heads in CC debt, can't control their spending, and have no way of understanding how their choices will impact them 10-40 years down the road.

Wake the f*ck up, stop spending what you don't have.

Holy shit, you did it again. You decided that all those other people made bad choices to be where they are and you're able to make good choices and so you are best to judge them all as a group... indiscriminately.

I've got no debt and make whatever the hell choices I want. I've had some good luck, too. And enough bad to know the difference.

These people, the ones you lament for all their squandering of their personal resources, are not your enemy. They simply don't make up enough impact to really affect your life and livelihood. If anything, they're reckless spending keeps the economy moving.

Look to those who hoard and wonder, what is it they're saving up for? Perhaps a way to cheat death?
