How are you doing financially? (lemm.ee)

I read that half of Americans couldn’t cover an unexpected $1,000 expense. This sounds crazy to me. I understand that poverty exists, but the idea that an adult with a job doesn’t even have that amount saved up seems really strange.

What’s your relationship or philosophy with money? What do you credit for your financial success, or alternatively, what do you blame for your failures?

For the extra brave ones: how much savings do you have, and what are you planning to do with them?

I'm not from USA. Or European. And I don't have any interest in computers and I'm stupid for studying.

In this post you said you're in America: https://lemmings.world/comment/10985752

I get the impression that you don't want help or advice, you just want to spend your time posting lies on the internet.
