dude some of these caleb hammer videos are just fucking mean. like yeah, sure, maybe people are managing their money poorly but you cannot budget your way out of poverty. telling people "you need to get a second job and work at least 60 hours a week" as the only "solution" is fucking gross

#signed: someone who regularly worked 60-80 hrs a week for years #(and i still do 60+ hr weeks sometimes though it's much rarer)#it was out of necessity but not everyone can or SHOULD!!! handle that #it ended up being better to allow myself to live in poverty so that i could quality for welfare programs #and use my downtime to rest and recover from burnout (and I did that twice over the years in 2017 and in 2023)#granted i was very lucky in the sense that i always found a couch to crash on or a roommate or had some savings #or most recently i lived with my now-ex (yikes)#but telling someone to go out and work themselves to death is just NOT a good answer #i understand it may be the only one he can give to make his “show” but fucking ew #rray.txt
