[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not being smug. I'm genuinely confused how people taking home five to eight thousand a month, [b]have no kids, have no major medical expenses, and have paid off most or all of their student loans cannot save enough for a one month emergency fund.[/b]

I am a gs 13. After paying for the best health insurance  and putting sevenpercent into my 401k, I take home 4400 a month. I spend two thousand on housing, and otherwise spend between six hundred to 1400 a month (300 student loan payment). I save at least a thousand a month without even trying hard.[/quote]

That's a helluva long list of qualifiers. I'll bet you your right index finger that most people in this area have one or more of those extraoridinarily common expenses.

You are being smug. You know perfectly well you're being smug.[/quote]

I am not talking about all government employees, or all well paid ones. I am talking about my friends and some of my coworkers, who fit the description above. [/quote]
