I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people.

I really think that people who haven’t been poor should not give money or frugality advice to poor people. The problem with poor people isn’t money management or knowledge, it’s the insufficiency of money. This goes for anyone who wants to help people on food stamps navigate this situation. People on food stamps are already experts in navigating food and money with a shortage of both.

Being on (German) social welfare was certainly a teaching experience for me. And I was still treated _relatively_ well by them - it could have been a lot worse.
Which is why I have no patience at all for the so-called " #Bürgergeld Reforms" currently discussed in Germany - i.e. making things worse for poor people out of bigotry while not actually saving any appreciable amount of government funds.
