      Unsympathetic people who don’t realize how expensive it is to be poor make ignorant statements, shocker.

      Poor people with new access to money don’t have decades of surplus. It takes a long time to pay off lingering debts from when you were poor, get medical treatment for issues you were neglecting, save an emergency fund, and then start investing. It’s a year’s long process to go from poor to well-off, even after you secure a high income. The only time it’s immediate is with a sudden windfall, where you get millions all at once.
