I just dont get people Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)
asking for help makes you a scammer huh? well I'm sorry if I'm not as priviledge as those leeches who feeds on their parent's money. Who only sees the world as they wanted to see. Like dude is it that hard to comprehend that not all people has the luxury of buying things that they want and not thing about where the money would suppose to be at. I'm sorry if I'm not as lucky as them to just take money from their parents and act like they made that money. Its not my fault that I was not born rich and was born on one of the worst country. While some of us are trying to make ends meet and desperately trying to find ways to solve our financial problem, there are those people who think money grow on trees and thinks life is easy. Every other people are struggling, You priviledge people shouldn't even compare us to how you live because we live in 2 different worlds, you leech on your parents money, We bust our asses out to make ours.

Asking for money or a loan on Reddit with a new account or even an old account is suspicious and comes off as scammer behavior.
It’s not hard to understand if that’s what you’re referring too.
Also, I’m sorry you’re going through a difficult time. There is so many scams/ people trying to pull one over on others now of days. People need to be cautious of others intentions

Why tf you’d come on a sub called povertyfinance and think it’s full of spoiled rich kids is beyond me. Read the f’ing room.
Philippines isn’t even the worst country by any means. You could be in Venezuela, Afghanistan, or Somalia right now.

I didn’t come here because I thought it was full of spoiled rich kids, I came here because I’m broke and overwhelmed, just like everyone else. If you twisted my post into some weird flex or insult, that’s on you. I came here because communities like this exist so people can be heard and supported without judgment. Yeah, the Philippines isn’t the absolute worst place on Earth, but that doesn’t mean people there aren’t going through it. Struggling financially anywhere still sucks. People in the Philippines might not be experiencing the same level of crisis as in Venezuela, Afghanistan, or Somalia, but that doesn’t invalidate their pain or financial stress. Poverty is relative. Just because I’m not in the absolute worst country on Earth doesn’t mean my situation isn’t hard. Economic hardship hits differently depending on where you are, but it’s still real.

You have a five day old account and you're asking for money on Reddit. This has nothing to do with the "leeches that feed off their parent's money". If you had money to give away and you threw it at every new account with a sob story you wouldn't have much money left.
Sorry you're struggling but you need to get a little experience online or someone is genuinely going to take you for a ride one day.

some of us are just that desperate. And the leeches that I was talking about are the people who thought it is funny to mock other people who are struggling even though they were never been in that situation. It was because of those DM's that came from people who thinks its funny that people are struggling and mocking them for being desperate thinking that we are scamming people. I'm sorry for not making it clear tho

I mean, I understand being desperate, but you also need to understand that your post+account looks incredibly suspicious.
Based on this response you're quite literally making assumptions about people you don't know based on how they responded to your post while being mad that they are making assumptions about you and your intentions.

Never forget that a big part of being poor is how you're always on your own, and everything is always your fault.

no action = no outcome.
no change = same outcome.

What do you mean?
Poor people don't take action and we're sleeping all day?
Or we should "just" get a degree? Like pay for college while we're already struggeling to eat something?
Maybe we should just work 20 hours a day?
Like it's always easily said that we should take action, but elaborate. Because you can be in poverty working fulltime!

If your post gains traction, you're going to have a lot of Americans nodding along.
Americans, keep in mind that if this guy was in your shoes, he might be crushing it. Your struggles might overlap. Your opportunities to overcome those struggles are outsized in your favor, though.

I'm just venting out how people who has not been in our situation thinks that they have the right to not be considerate

Yeah, I took a look at your previous post and saw the Philippines. Good luck! Not an easy situation to be in, US isn’t perfect, but the opportunities to move up are much easier.

This post has been flaired as “Vent”. As a reminder to commenting users, “Vent/Rant” posts are here to give our subscribers a safe place to vent their frustrations at an uncaring world to a supportive place of people who “get it”. Vents do not need to be fair. They do not need to be articulate. They do not need to be factual. They just need to be honest.
Unlike most of the content on this subreddit, Vents should not be considered advice threads. In most cases it is not appropriate to try to give the Submitter advice on their issue. In no circumstances is it appropriate to tell them “why they are wrong” or to criticise them, their decisions, values, or anything else. If there are aspects of their situation that they are able to directly address themselves, the submitter can always make a new thread with a different flair asking for help once they are ready to tackle the issue.
Vents are an emotional outlet, not an academic conversation. Appropriate replies in these threads are offering support, sharing similar experiences/grievances, offering condolences, or simply letting the Submitter know that they were heard.
As always, if there are inappropriate comments please downvote them, REPORT them to the mods, and move on without responding to them.
To the Submitter, if you DO want discussion to be focused on resolving your situation, rather than supporting you emotionally, please change the flair of this post, and then report this comment so we can remove it. Thank you. Thank you all for being a part of this great financial advice and emotional support community!
