The amusing part of this is that spending money on ignorant crap is a great example of why most people don’t end up wealthy despite having the means to do so. It’s not so much a reminder of income inequality as much as just how stupid a lot of people are with money.

“In the U.S., healthcare is very expensive. There’s a bevy of statistics to prove this—we spend $3.5 trillion a year or more than $10,000 per person, which is twice as much as other countries, for example—but you already knew that.”

“Not true if you have a match or your employer doesn’t offer after tax contributions.”
