These advice lists from the rich telling everyone else how to live within their means MUST STOP! The fact that the 1% deigns to bless the rest of us with their financial advice really chuffs me, especially since most of the 1% inherited their wealth, don't pay their fair share of taxes, don't support universal healthcare, and don't support pension plans. If people like your aunt paid their fair share for the resources that the wealthy use to make their lives more comfortable, including infrastructure and national security, the 99% would have enough money to enjoy their lives on the money they make. We've got to start reframing these stories and start placing the responsibility for a more positive society back on those who get the most from it.
