61% of you could not cover $1000 unexpected expense tomorrow

[Hang on Sloopy]

I keep what I call "transmission money" stuck back. I haven't touched it even though I have been fighting cancer for a year. It started as a catastrophic fund for transportation breakdowns. Now it's just money that cannot be spent on anything except an acute crisis.

my best wishes to you bro...................this place is nonsense..........but real is real

The great majority are MAGA dopes.

Hmmmmm....
I just paid 45K in cash for new A/C units.
I'd bet a liberal couldnt do that.

Bidenomics in action.

This predates Joe Biden.

They do every day.

Hey Slow horse, let's see you come up with some data on your retarded assertion. All the MAGA people I know including me are doing just fine.

Then why are you all bitching so much?

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

No one with a brain is concerned with what you or Sloppy say because you both are unteachable.

You'd be wrong.

I'm just poking fun at the dumbass liberal who think conservatives dont have any savings.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Oh yeah?
What makes you think a Conservative doesn't have that kind of money?

That doesn't make a lot of sense.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I didnt make the post,ask him what the fuck he's talking about.

This point of information is difficult to assess. Consider...

My wife and I are both college grads, I have a law degree, and we both had OK careers. Now retired, a thousand dollar unexpected expense is barely an inconvenience now, and they do occur.

But as I think back through our lives, we were into our 40's before we reached the point where such an expense would be easily tolerable. OTOH, we always made it a point NOT to have a lot of cash on hand, because I would spend it. So most of our excess funds were simply invested in one thing or another. We actually took out a second mortgage line of credit to pay for cars and other expensive things (rather than taking money out of savings or selling assets). So in effect the expense would have been initially paid for by borrowing money.

Were we part of that 60% of unfortunates at those times? Hard to say. Our net worth at the time was into seven figures, but we still would have had to tap a line of credit to pay for it, at least initially.

Ok, Obamanomics in action.

 

[Crepitus]

Where did I say they didn't?

You said a liberal wouldn't. I corrected you because I could have easily done that. It's not that exceptional.

I said nothing about how much you or any other conservative might have.

I live in Kansas surrounded by rednecked conservatives without enough spare change to buy the newest rRump flag.

 

[MarathonMike]

Then why are you all bitching so much?

It's possible to financially fine and be pissed off at the Democrats destroying my country. Do you get it?

Blame Bidenomics. We had an economy back in 2019.

Sorry to hear you live in a poor area.

Now that takes the cake. A fn elitist Texas snob with MAGA tattooed to his forehead.
