I hope I never have money problems

That is why you live within your means and save/invest properly.  

Wishful thinking there MODU.  A very large segment of the population cannot consistently live within their means because their means is too skimpy to live upon, and/or interrupted by long periods of  unemployment.

As for you, BM, if you are seriously concerned about ever having any money problems, you should change your avatar to Democrat.  The one you have is for people who have no money problems.

Well, I'm pretty set for life as long as I get even a decent job, so I'll just invest wisely and this shouldn't happen to me

Why or how are you 'set for life'?  If you're counting on getting a decent job, it doesn't sound like you're very secure to me!

i think everyone, or most everyone has money problems at some point in life.7

No, rich people don't Mitty.  Only workers, though admittedly that's at least 95% of people.

i could have sworn that youve whined in the past about having to come back to the 'bad place'  because you ran out of money.

Yes, of course.  But then I'm not rich.

Not having money problems is more about what you spend than what you earn. With the exception of a very few Bill Gates types, it will always be easy to spend more than you have.

Please outline how making $7/hour leads to a comfortable sufficiency.

Live like my grandmother, though I suppose comfortable is a subjective term. In any case, if you stay at a low paying job for a while and act like a reasonable employee, you will most likely get a promotion or a raise sooner or later.

opebo has asked that question a million times and ignores every single answer given because he is a troll out for attention.  Just ignore him.

No one has given an answer which refutes my point in asking the question Gabu, which is simply that  lots of working  people are trapped their entire lives in desperate poverty.   Surely no one would  dispute that.

By the way memphis, you may be right about 'promotions or raises', but those people top out at less than $10 an hour, typically in their 40's.
