tard fam financial literacy

Idea that tard fam has zero financial literacy. It starts with York who blows his entire paycheck every week whether it's $1K on a PS5, $500 on a monitor, or $300 on a pair of shoes. He's always making a big ass purchase and gives no fucks about the price. Norman "Nick" has the belief that he has a baller mindset but in reality he has no financial literacy like the other tards in his fam. He's always trying to make an expensive ass purchase to put himself on top and he ain't checking the tag twice. Back in the day, Norman "Nick" used to get a stack of $20 bills before he'd go hang with his buds and that entire stack would be gone in a few days. Whether it's dropping an insane amount on weed or buying useless ass shit, Norman "Nick" is always making a "baller purchase" in his mind. You could say that he lives by this Ariana Grande lyric: "I want it, I got it." Mike Carlson thinks he's a millionaire with his minimum wage ass job and his bum shoe flipping business. He buys 3 expensive shoes at once to resell them but his shoe business is doodoo so he can only flip a pair like every 8 months and he genuinely has this belief that he's cashing out. If you're in a situation where you have a briefcase of money and need to hide it, don't give it to a tard fam member because they'll open it and blow it all within a week and not give a damn. All of these dudes think they're all about money but in reality none of these niggas actually know what to do with money.

*Prime example of tard fam financial literacy* Shea: Yo, you want to buy this box mod from me? Norman "Nick":Uh yea, how much? Shea: $60 for the box mod and I'll throw in the vape juice bottle for another $40 Norman "Nick": So $100, okay I'll do that *Shea actually sold Norman "Nick" a broken box mod and within a week after the sale the box mod was completely fucked up*
