But an essential part of “living frugally” is…being frugal. Co-opting the “style” of poverty while acting like you’re more spiritually enlightened for it while shelling out a fortune and constantly having a massive amount of money to fall back on while preaching frugality to a bunch of people who don’t have money is…gross.

And if you watch the video, this isn’t just “trustafarians,” but also about the systems hat have been put in place in developing nations to traffic children to attract wealthy foreigners to “voluntourism” in their area and profit off of that exploitation while these wealthy “po-mouthing” kids can’t post about how generous they are and talk about how it changed their life.
