That’s why payday loan places are all over shite hole places in BR, like Gardere and north of Florida Blvd. You see them around Santa Maria and Mallard Lakes?

Priorities! Bet every one of those 40% have a cell phone, some kind of advanced TV service/internet service (above basic), some auto for looks/status, etc.. They'd rather look the part now than eventually be a part later. Live fast, die young.



Right on!

Poor people that use those places don't give a shite about credit scores or predatory loans

I just don't understand why this is posted once a month

The numbers always change a little

"60% of Americans don't have 1000 in their bank"


a lot of people are irresponsible with their money, and have been since forever.

I could probably scrape up $400 from my sofa and recliner cushions. And another $150 from my truck ashtray\floor board\center console.

Poor decisions are what make people poor.

There are things people need, and there are things people "should have".

People are making themselves broke buying things they "should have"

You've been outta the trailer park by several decades if you think only one race talks like that. Hell, you've been outta S. La. for a couple decades if you think one race sounds like that. Cash me outsigh.

$400 isn't a financial emergency. That's what makes it even scarier

Because some people are just barely able to survive. Is what it is. If it doesn't effect you, who cares?

And most of then are in the situation because they are fricking stupid. Hard to have sympathy for a poor who still manages to go to Disney world every year

Yup. These are the same people who leach off the govt swiping their EBT cards at Wal-Mart buying Mtn Dew, chips and other junk food.

They are also the ones churning out kids like crazy getting even more govt money.

Except your liberal God, LBJ was the one who created the shite society that we have today.

LBJ ruined the family unit, created the welfare state. He was all around a total POS human being.

It's hard for me to buy in to over-encompassing blanket statements that try to classify everyone into one boat for the sake of convenience. That might be the case for some, maybe even most, of the folks that find themselves in this situation. But there are plenty of folks that experienced things like crippling medical debt that they have no control over.

Not every case is some one size fits all.

America is being destroyed by a larger and larger number of tribalistic individuals blindly picking sides and regurgitating talking points so they can root on their favorite team without having to engage in critical thinking. This isn't relegated to one side.

Well, in fairness, it’s not exactly a problem unique to “poor, trailer park/ghetto trash” either. 40% of the population isn’t “poor” despite the what the mythology on the OP says.

I’ve seem people who make $100K a year and spend $110K.

Damn, long late stage considering the Messiah talked to, communed with, advised, the poor 2000 years ago. Ancient ME was a purer form of Capitalism than today's USA too.
