As someone who went poverty -> comfortable -> not so well off, I can confirm. It was (mentally) easier to get up from the bottom than to deal with the loss and try to do it all over again and risk even further loss.

As the old curse says - May you have and then not have.

I married a trust fund kid and then got saddled with his credit card debt after he dumped me.

Got to go on nice expensive vacations, ate ridiculous food on the top of Harrod’s in London. Now I’m making pillows out of old t-shirts because I don’t have a mattress.

The big lesson I learned is that it actually does not matter how smart, talented or hard working you are. It’s about having rich family.

Bro you can just go to the salvation army, you don't have to wear pillows as tshirts LMAO 🤣

You have it backwards. They’re using old t-shirts to sew pillows. The same way some people use old shirts for quilting, or for window cleaning rags.

I feel like Salvation Army pillows are going to be gross and hard to clean - might pick up bed bugs. Thrifting the stuffing/pillow forms and sewing them into t-shirts makes something quick and comfortable.
