[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's one thing to make a decision as a family that you won't lend the money to your friends. It's entirely different to come on here to ask such a moronic and tone deaf question. Millions of people don't have any savings. Millions of people don't have healthcare. Millions of people live paycheck to paycheck. [/quote]

OP- do you feel superior now? [/quote]
DP.. to me, some of the "millions of people" are in the situation that they are in due to their own making.  They refuse to save and cut spending.

Yes, millions can't afford healthcare. That's a shameful indictment of the healthcare system in this country. But,we aren't talking about a $6000 medical bill here. [/quote]

You don't know what the $500 was for. OP chose not to share the reason, just that she isn't helping and she shames people who don't have those resources. [/quote]
sure, but it's not $6000.

I'm a PP whose parents are uneducate immigrants... my parents and every single one of my sibling has more than $500 in emergency savings, and not all of us have a college education.

I know some of my cousins don't have an extra $500, and it's largely their own fault.  I can understand if you are really young, just starting out in life, come from a poor background with little parental support, had health issues, etc.. but if you are older (late 20s+), been working for a while without any major health issues, not a single parent,  it's hard to understand why you had such a tough time saving $500.

We don't know how old the friend is, so sure, maybe he's really young and comes from a broken home. But, for many of those who have been working for a while without some of those issues and still don't have $500 saved, I would ask why?[/quote]
