But yet having savings is irrelevant above 30th percentile until you get to 95th+ percentile when you can afford a deposit for a flat in west london on a single salary. I.e. my life is no different with 5k savings up until 300k savings.

Every person living under the capitalist system has been convinced that she or he will certainly /makeit/ some day.

the poor don't want to invest, they fill lottery tickets, and birth children they can't afford, wasting money they could've used to invest. Homeless people spend their funds on alcohol, drugs, and scratch cards. Your teenage mind will struggle to accept this but most people are literally cattle. Not necessarily a clinical state, but a lot don't ever wake up from their lemming existence.

Honestly, it's a good thing for anyone who is financial inclined, because if everyone would spend their money wisely, there would be a lot less profit margins.

What in the fuck are you talking about, that is exactly how nature works. The strong get pussy and the weak literally starve to death, that's nature in a nut shell. Literally this is how evolution works. Apply your fucked up logic to single cell organisms and Earth remains primordial soup forever. Strength (intelligence) only evolved to where it is today because the weak (stupidity) died at a higher rate.

And yes, I advocate for letting the retards at the bottom die off naturally without intervention so we can resume eugenic evolution.

If that were true (it isnt), I would still be in support of allowing the bottom part of society to expire naturally every year, even if that meant me. Human existence until very recently meant 40% of the weakest children expired during/soon after childbirth. Places like Britain also executed the bottom 1-2% of the population yearly, which allowed their civilization to reach an average IQ of 112-115 by the late 1800's. All of this is gone now, which is why intelligence is now in regression globally now.

>They have to eat most of their capital thought.

Food, by percentage of income, is WAY cheaper today than it has ever been in history. Food is so cheap that poor people can even afford to eat too much of it. It's so cheap that even poor people can eat burgers at fast food restaurants. POOR people can pay a premium to have meals prepared, wrapped in giftwrap and handed to them by servants.

Or they can afford to prepare and eat their own meals of rice, beans, potatoes and eggs for less than $1/meal and invest the difference. The people who think to do that tend to not be poor for very long though.
