Yeah, frustrating isn't it? It may seem totally backwards to us, because those of us raised in middle class know all about money management and saving, etc. It's something we learn from our parents, it's part of our culture. But it's just simply not a skill that people that grow up in poverty have...again, not due to a lack of intelligence, and nothing to do with race, it's simply not a part of the culture. It's one of the reasons you will see often see people that get out through athletic prowess and get huge contracts for millions of dollars totally waste all the money that they get and blow through it in no time.
