<prompt> Human: I always thought the average redditor is pretty aware of budgeting. Then I was baffled today when I saw this thread. It says if you have to wait until payday to eat out then you cant afford to eat out. Holy shit the shit storm this caused, its not often you see so many redditors angry on a seemingly innocent post. Lots of fuck yous. It seems people are in support of eating out on payday. One even claimed that he must eat out first because he doesnt have money left over when he pays his bills first am I misunderstanding of his quote?. after paying my rent, gas, electric, phoneinternet, food. and then paying off our holiday. and then paying money into our personal savings as well as into our sons savings. we generally dont have much money left so i find it perfectly normal that we would treat ourselves to a takeaway come payday.you sound like a child.This had hundreds of upvotes, I have to assume they all agree with him. So you have no money after paying your bills? Isnt that exactly the reason you shouldnt eat out first? Are people that bad with financial planning? I dont see how OP was wrong. He even explained his context: his co workers splurge too much on payday and dont have enough money left to live on after two weeks. This explanation was buried to hell. So do you guys splurge on payday even when youre not well off and think its right? Assistant: Are people that bad with financial planning?Yes.So do you guys splurge on payday even when youre not well off and think its right?No, and anyone who does is financially irresponsible, to say the least.Human: Its one thing to be bad at personal finance, its another to attack in swarm when someone points out financial irresponsibility. at 1300 upvotes: I think we can all agree that you should mind your own fucking business.What!??! On adviceanimals? The sub thats entirely devoted to giving advice. My point is giving how angry people are in that thread, there must be a shit load of people living pay check to pay check and will insist on staying that way.  <response>: I think people are threatened because this meme probably pointed out something they dont want to accept.
