Eli5: Isn’t spending money good if it ultimately goes to low and middle income people

774 views

I know a balance is needed. But it’s always stressed how you need to save. Isn’t saving taking away from someone else though? Isn’t spending in many cases giving a working class person a job? If you eat out, buy clothes, get a massage even go to a casino, people are getting paid to do those jobs. If everyone saved then what?

If you save and invest you will get a more consistent money stream eventually allowing you to live better yourself and also potentially donate to more people below you… Saving doesn’t mean not using the money. Ideally it means making the money work for you in investing.. or high interest savings… Ofc a fair bit should be saved for emergencies.

Thus you ultimately move about more money and that in turn is actually good for the economy and actually for people because an economy where money is actively spent is generally a good thing

In the casinos case. The house generally always wins and lines their pockets, the people working there usually have a fixed salary anyway
