Yeah, I wonder what those people did when they didn't have have Hive though, clearly other things to make ends meet.

Those people will be crying the loudest when the price goes up and they realise they have spent all their Hive in cents when others are spending it in dollars. Saving some is the way to go.

I see many who take all their Hive out and spend it "to make ends meet" in third world countries and yet post regularly about shopping, restaurants, new phones, movies, entertainment and other such consumer items they don't really need...hmm, seems "making ends meet" is different there than here.

At the end of the day, it doesn't affect me and I'll not have any pity for anyone who doesn't actively work towards helping themselves on ahive or anyone else. People need to take some responsibility for themselves.

Before I issue votes I check people's wallets, if I see no power ups regularly and only withdrawals that person won't get my votes, it's quite simple really.
