I read that half of Americans couldn’t cover an unexpected $1,000 expense. This sounds crazy to me. I understand that poverty exists, but the idea that an adult with a job doesn’t even have that amount saved up seems really strange.

What’s your relationship or philosophy with money? What do you credit for your financial success, or alternatively, what do you blame for your failures?

For the extra brave ones: how much savings do you have, and what are you planning to do with them?

    I fall between the government won’t give me SSI because I’m not disabled enough in there fucking eyes. And being disabled and can’t work.

    So financially I’m fucked and nothing I can do about it.

    Even if I had said It would only be iirc around 800 a month.

    It’s part of Amerikkka hidden eugenic programs. (Not verified but living with a disability it sure fuckin feels like it)
