How is this unrealistic? This is literally what poor people do. It's what I did when I was poor.

I also bought the 20 volume Oxford English Dictionary when I was poor. Poor people spend their money on a lot of dumb shit.

It's the opposite of what I and a lot of my schoolmates did when we were poor. You'd get a haircut from your mum or your girlfriend. You'd torrent the OED. Many poor people aren't idiots, they're often just caught in a unlucky situation without the time/resources to fight their way out of it. Same way that many rich people are lucky idiots.
