I read that half of Americans couldn’t cover an unexpected $1,000 expense. This sounds crazy to me. I understand that poverty exists, but the idea that an adult with a job doesn’t even have that amount saved up seems really strange.
What’s your relationship or philosophy with money? What do you credit for your financial success, or alternatively, what do you blame for your failures?
For the extra brave ones: how much savings do you have, and what are you planning to do with them?
Less than that, especially in areas that used to be cheap.
It took less than 5 years for my decent sized house on almost an acre in a middle sized city to be less than a 2/2 apartment.
It’s fucking insane.
