I read that too and had to do a double take.

But if you look at the number of people who live paycheck to paycheck and how many of those couldn't produce $400 cash in the event of an emergency, we should not be surprised. Not excusing it, but the average Joe is broke and would be up shite Creek if employment ended unexpectedly.

But man, that new vehicle financed for 84 months ... but I got 0 % interest looks and feels nice.

I spoke with a young person (mid 30's recently) and they informed me that they do not have a retirement account. This person had asked if we offer one and was completely shocked when I informed them that even if your employer does not provide a 401k option, you can still invest up to $5500 of your own money in a Roth IRA every year. Mind blown they were. And here is the kicker ... later in the conversation, they revealed that they just bought a brand new truck from a dealership less than a week ago.

They probably pulled the probate petition. Only contains testamentary property. He probably has a bunch of trusts set up that no one knows about
