The other side of it is that only applies if you would have saved the money. If you would have just spent it on bullshit consumables anyway, it’s a net gain. I know that’s not shot people want to admit on the internet, that they are incapable of saving but it affects a lot of people.

Why not just tell the dude to stick his money in a Mason jar in his backyard?

I hate to break it to you, but you despise a giant swath of the population.
After doing it awhile it is remarkably how otherwise normal and in some cases truly successful people have virtually no handle on business.
It’s one thing to suggest that it is dumb to take that approach. But to just stick your head in the sand and pretend that it doesn’t improve a massive amount of people’s lives is just incorrect.
I’d bet you’d be surprised how many of your friends and neighbors are incapable of doing what you suggest.
