That really should be what's taught in schools instead of trying to teach them to pass some tests to get the schools money

I distinctly remember watching some movie years ago that involved an American family dealing with debt/low income. They lived in a pretty big house and garden with a ton of crap inside, a good looking car too, and it didn't strike me as a poor family.

It was fictional, of course, but when half the Internet went "Nintendo raised prices from 70 to 80 bucks, I guess I'll stop buying since I need food", that implies to me they had no problem buying full price 60/70$ games (a luxury) consistently, and complaining about lacking basic needs. Same for a lot of people seemingly having multiple same gen consoles.
