    Yes, I have indeed lol. I had a year where our hvac went out and our son second child’s birth bill which racked up thousands that we had to pay out of pocket. We had tens of thousands in unexpected bills that year.

    We had to drain most of our savings and take out a large loan to cover it all. Guess what I did. Paid the damn loan back.

        Lmao dude I was born to white trash drug addicts and never lived in one place for more than 9 months because they could never afford rent and kept getting kicked out. I have lived on my own since I was 15

        Born on third base my ASS. I have worked my ass off since I was a teenager. I’ve lived in friends storm cellars, couches, and my truck at times to get where I’m at now.

        I made saving a priority since my first job working at fuckin Burger King in high school.

            Jesus dude yeah people have had it worse but it’s not a competition. You accused him of not earning his financial position and he explained how your attack on person is baseless. Having friends is a support system, it doesn’t mean you had it easy. If you were not raised by wolves, you’ve had people help you too.

            Whatever you say dude. I know I had help. Virtually everyone has help along the way. If you have literally nobody that will let you crash on your couch, maybe you should look deep inside why nobody likes you.

            Me living in my truck did take from my savings to pay bills. Half the reason I lived in my truck was not to be wasting money on renting some shitty apartment and draining my savings. I maintained a savings the whole time.

            Keep complaining instead of doing something about it. It’ll guarantee you stay poor.

                When I left the house? You mean when my parents drug habits caught up with them and we ended up homeless.

                I didn’t live on anyone’s couch. I spent a day or two at most at a friends house at a time.

                I had a few thousand saved up. And yes had a bank account where my pay was direct deposited or my parents would steal it.

                You can wallow in your self pity and tell yourself that everything is luck or some bullshit to get out of helping yourself. That’s fine. I’m doing more than well now lol.

                    Why do you think that was one friend or something? That’s not living on someone’s couch.

                    And I have plenty of compassion for people actually trying to make their lives better. I have zero compassion for people that sit there and just blame everyone else, thinking they should get everything handed to them.
