Nearly 40% of Americans can't cover a surprise $400 expense

This is why people shouldn't be so quick to move out their parents house when they are young.
Save your bread for a year or two then move out

I bet half of those people in the 40% don’t know how to use money properly.

TIL thecoli.com considers the USA to be a shythole equivalent to places like India and Afghanistan because of a few homeless people.



Btw did you know LA the place you said was not a third world shythole has the highest population of homeless in the US?

Ask them what those credit card bills look like

Thank you

Some people in here trying to act like people are just paying off credit card bills every month

America is not a third world country. Its a country where people literally kill themselves trying to get into escaping a shythole.

I'm no "Captain America" cape crusader, but you guys need to know the difference between absolute poverty and just inequality.

America is VERY unequal but it is not a poor third world country by any stretch of the imagination.

They can't handle a $400 expense, but do an audit of their budget and you'll see most spent at least that amount on dining out and non-essentials for the month.

Make no mistake, I spend some money on things just because I want it, but I make sure I save at least a few hundred every month and work a 2nd job to do it. Once I paid off my car, went right back to putting 3% back in my 401k, 2% in my HSA with the company matches, and stacking cash. People I know in my family cashing out part of their 401ks and pensions when they switch jobs80% of people ain't ready for this upcoming recession AT ALL.
