The power of money, or its lack, to determine who gets to reproduce. Whereas in the past this was decided perhaps by physical toughness, ingenuity and resourcefulness in surviving, modern society has coldbloodedly decided who gets to reproduce by separating us by those who can afford to and those who cannot. A possible synonym would be late stage capitalism. One solution is throwing oneself on the mercy of the government, risking social disrespect in the process.
Guy: Hey friend, why no kids?
Friend: Couldn't afford it. It's not mine or God's fault. It was financial darwinism.

Get the financial darwinism mug.When you're forced to spend money on something that shouldn't even be necessary to survive on this planet (college tuition, rent, bills, spending less on food to pay rent, etc) but the only alternative to it is being forced into poverty, homelessness, debt, legal issues, or a worse situation if you don't give in.
Similar to being forced to give money or other valuables to a mugger when being robbed on the street or otherwise you'd be shot or murdered.

Girl: Fuck college. Everyone hates me here and I have no friends. The coursework is a nightmare and I dread the thought of working as a Java Developer with a bunch of sweaty neckbeard virgins in a hot office building from the 1970s for the next 30 years. I'm not even on track to graduating on time because my advisor fucked up and made me pick the wrong classes by mistake...
Consciousness: What about the $20K you spent on your tuition this year? Do you want to just drop out college altogether and work at McDonald's for the rest of your life making $7.25 an hour? There's plenty of meth addicts underneath the Brooklyn Bridge that you could hang out with if you choose that option! You'll be sleeping out on the street and will never be able to afford an apartment if you don't finish uni! Gotta love being held under financial gunpoint in THIS economy don't ya?

Get the Special financial operation mug.Refers to someone who provides a low-income person with the most ideal and reasonable/healthy type of monetary assistance --- he simply "fills in the gaps" in the indigent person's financial life, such as purchasing economy-grade groceries, buying a few separate tools (extra points if the person requests/accepts used tools from a thrift store or yard sale) to replace broken/worn/missing ones in the person's toolbox, providing maintenance/repair materials to fix/upgrade things around the person's house, and so on.
Financially-solvent dude: I really appreciate how Tiffany only asks me to be a financial dentist for her, rather than expecting me to buy her everything under the sun. Plus not only does she never try to pressure me to go along on any of her boring mall-shopping trips, but she also always cuddles up with me while I'm browsing Amazon/E-Bay to locate the lowest price on the occasional replacement item or tape/disc that she wants, and accompanies me hand-in-hand to Goodwill or the local pawn-shops/thrift-stores whenever I go scrounging for bargains on the few simple household/recreational items that she does ask me for... her warm-hearted gratitude-filled companionship during these somewhat-tedious endeavors is an welcome bonus all on its own, of course, but her always being at my side also means that she's right there to actually observe and inspect each of the items that I'm thinking of choosing for her, and so she can more easily/reliably determine if the item I'm looking at is indeed the best choice to fulfill her needs.

So, I am looking at getting a new Samsung smartphone, but it's over $1000! I don't think the Wealth & Income Financial Engineer (W.I.F.E.) will sign off on that.

Get the Wealth & Income Financial Engineer mug.A word coined by Quechua Artist Akapa Supay. This word was coined or created from a blog post he posted on his website which was titled "Financial Decolonization". In simpler terms, its true meaning is unlearning bad financial habits, while adopting financial literacy.
"Did you hear how Chester was saving up his money, used it to invest , while doubling his profit? That's some real Financial Decolonization right there"
"My rent is $1,500 for the month and I only had $2,000 to spend this month. I saw this new game system that was another $500, but when I calculated rent and purchasing the game system I didn't think it was a smart decision. I had to ask myself if It was a necessity, and because It wasn't I chose to save my extra $500. I wanted to execute my Financial Decolonization methods during the heat of the moment.
