I don’t think you understand the concept of being poor. Must be nice. If it was that easy to save money, I would. When you live off $450 dollars a month on disability checks, you don’t have the luxury and privilege of having hundreds of dollars stashed away for fucking ice cream trucks. But thanks so much for acting like I’m stupid for not being as privileged as you are.

Dude, shut the fuck up. My grampa, who is the one who encouraged me to always keep cash on hand, lived through the great depression. My family was on welfare on and off throughout my childhood. But your fucking dumbass thinks what, a soft-serve ice cream is $20? Anyway, sucks to be you when you need to take public transit or get a small meal but can't because the debit machines and ATMs aren't working and you never bothered to have even a little bit of change on hand. :)

#was that harsh?#sure #but if you're going to be an asshole in my inbox for no reason you get what you get #like I wasn't a month away from not being able to make rent multiple times before moving up here #like I haven't had to go into overdraft more times than I can remember #like I haven't spent months at a time including the better part of my first year in this city living off PBJ sandwiches #or rice and wild leaves #like I'm not constantly literally paying for my sister's ill-thought choices #bailing her out of some pickle every couple of months because she can't learn from her mistakes #and I can't just not because she has four fucking kids and another on the way #but I encourage women to keep a physical form of currency on hand in case of inability to use electronic currency #and you want to come at me like this?#fuck you too #and yeah I'm going to say it: you seem to have enough money for internet and not just for immediate needs if you're in my inbox #trying to give me shit over ice cream
