    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.

      Seriously? You think draining your savings is the same as not having any money, lol. You are a wee bit out of touch. Born on 3rd base and expects everyone up to bat should get a home run.

        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.

          So you had friends that helped you live at their place, do you think that maybe there people who don’t have that kind of support system? You did not pull yourself up by your bootstraps, you had a lot of help along the way.

          Also, now go tell the you that was living in your truck to take from your savings and pay your bills.

            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.
