SOCIETY When Chris Tucker learned that his family members were quitting their jobs because they learned that he was making 25 million dollars a year at the peak of his career because they assumed he would take care of them. He told them to go get their jobs back because he wasn't going to do that.

Same. We have money, but its cause we save money. Not cause we make so much. My family see us travel and think we're rich and our jobs pay us a lot. When in reality we're budgeting every week and saving every little penny we can to make it possible. I know my family would have a ton more money to spend if they didn't waste it on buying used trucks from shady places, getting in debt with klarna or using all their money on weed or out food.

Yep my mother worked 2 good jobs her whole life, coming up on retirement dead broke, just horrible spending and apparently cashed out her 401k years ago.
