Why do some people seem to always be broke?
I have a BIL and SIL, nice people but they are ALWAYS BROKE!
They always live hand to mouth. They both work, decent jobs with benefits, long term good employees
They don't get fired and they both have had the same jobs for years.
I just can't figure out how the hell they stay broke, they don't do drugs or drink and don't appear to live beyond their means. They have an adult son who they have bailed out of debt on and off and keep treating him like a baby and that has to be part of it. They never have any money saved for emergencies and every time they need to take a trip to visit their elderly parents, they end up buying used tires to make the trip and have to charge their gas on credit cards. We end up sending them money to come home on even though they genuinely don't like taking it, we just send it anyway so they can make the trip.
I sat down and did the math with their income and expenses and I just don't see where their money goes.
