It's astonishing how terrible people are with money
I'm from Eastern Europe, so it's not exactly a beacon of financial literacy(or literacy in general for that matter), but I never suspected it was this bad.
People I work with, people that I know for a fact that are above average intelligence would probably starve to death in 3 months if they lost their jobs. Some are up to their eyeballs in debt. Some immediately upgrade their lifestyle once they get even a modicum of pay bump. Some just have almost no self control and spend like there's no tomorrow. Some are saving but they have no idea what to do with their money and they just let it sit there and rot. Some are on the opposite end and just go for the riskiest things possible.
I have zero intention of talking about finances with any of them, I've made that mistake in the past and at best they'll say thank you and carry on or at worst they'll assume you want to scam them somehow.
Admittedly I'm not the best person to take advice from since I live like a monk, but God knows some of those people could use it.
I don't even have a point to this post I just find it sad.
