I definitely track spending. I’m just tired of people acting like that. I’m talking to someone in this very thread who is saying $7.99 for a Netflix account is not something you should pay for if you’re poor as if not spending $7.99 a month to make your life a little better would cover any medical bills or car repairs or anything else that might qualify as an emergency.
Their reasoning was “I was poor once and I saved money and I did fine.” Too bad they mentioned that they had a color TV when they were poor, as if you could still even buy a black and white TV in the last 20 years.

I really agree with you. There needs to be a balance between saving money and living your life.
