[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For many, many years I did not have any extra money. I lived paycheck to paycheck and knew to the penny how much money I had in my bank account.  Not everybody has emergency funds. My circumstances is that I grew up poor, got my college education partially by tuition reimbursement from companies that worked at, adèle I took the plunge at the age of 27 quit my job, got student loans and finished my degree.  And after college I still lived  paycheck to paycheck because I had to pay my loans back, had car payments, had to pay rent, etc.  it was after I was out of debt that I finally start saving.  I was never a big spender. It’s just I did not have Rich parents to set me on my path. I’m just trying to give you a different perspective as to why someone might not have emergency funds.

Same here, and I worked MUCH harder and significantly more hours then than I do now.

My favorite was when COVID hit and every family was supposed to have thousands in the bank to handle all the unexpected expenses (no, the stimulus was not enough to do so alone), but corporations, like airlines, IMMEDIATELY started screaming about how they needed millions infused directly into their pockets from the government *immediately* or they would go under in two weeks and Take Away All The Jobs.   :roll: [/quote]
