I laughed way too hard at "Fee Fi Fo Fum fee!"

Well put

And when Trump takes over, you will lose your jobs if you are a Federal employee.

Overdraft fees are the stupidest thing (well, one of the stupidest).

In 1980, the federal deficit was less than a billion dollars. After Reagan's trickle down policy, by the end of his second term, it was over three billion dollars, and it's gone up exponentially ever since.

And, instead of sharing, they want even more. As the French would say " off with their heads!"

I don't mind paying taxes. It's getting my money ripped off by billionaire grifters and corporations that not only don't pay taxes, they get government subsidies, while I drive on pot holed streets.

Is that why we have so many of those "begpackers?"

Right there

This is just sad.

Never thought of it that way but, by golly, he's right you know.

Here your income must be three times your rent to qualify. Rents start at $1,000/month. Minimum wage, $15, works out to less than $3,000.

He is not streaking. Streaking is running with no clothes on. So he shouldn't get any money.

Me at age 33 I don't want to wake up and pay for a place to sleep at. Life is better asleep.

I paid my student loans off after 16 years. But, I have no animosity toward people who had their loans forgiven. People should not have to suffer because they want to better themselves.

No matter what I get at Walmart, it is always at least $100. I live in a small town, and the only other grocery store within 30 minutes is actually more expensive.

Retirement fund is growing I see

Finally, an affordable house!

Thank god they don't do this bullcrap in my country. Yet.

I mean... 12 grand is still 12 grand. Frugal habits all 'round makes for homeowners.

Pay the loan, ditch the crazy fee structure and high interest rate. People who have been making their payments, but now owe more need help. A $30,000 loan that is now$100,000 is NOT the same loan you paid.

Disgusting

It completely amazes me that a huge country like the US (I'm generalising here, I know not everyone thinks like this) will fight tooth and nail to keep the insurance based health care system and utterly reject universal healthcare which would mean bills like this would be non existant.

You need proper universal healthcare. Single payers is better for everyone but the insurance companies. Who do you want treated; yourself or the insurance companies?

My mate had a heart attack, spent a month in intensive care, this is what he owed, £0.00.

The system sure does love kicking people when they're down.

USA citizen. Alternatively, Ive been billed over $50,000 this year, and I owe $13.00. Thirteen dollars.

The bill is enough to give you a heart attack.

I hate it here.

Our healthcare system is messed up, for sure

That was about what mine was (a little more).I got out in slightly less than a full week. Glad to be around for awhile longer.

then he had another heart attack when he saw the bill

Same with my mom OP. She was smart (fortunate/lucky) enough to die at home. This country’s values are so completely twisted. I’m in the US, btw.

Poor, Frodo

Except in the US, for-profit prisons make a lot of money for everyone except the taxpayers.

Tipping is out of control. I'm sorry, but I'm not tipping you for doing what you already get paid for and aren't doing anything to make my experience better.

I taught my kids about taxes by taking a big bite out of every snack they asked me to open for them. They were still hungry so they had to ask for another snack, from which I took an even bigger bite. (This is sarcasm, BTW).

Old fashioned boss. He wants to see his company succeed without huge debt, take care of his employees, and foster a safe, pleasant workplace.

The government doesn't give you a credit score.

Can I have my allowance now?

Trump. I fear what he & his sycophants will do.

Not gonna lie, I'm going to have to blame us the electorate for putting up with this nonsense.

In the 1950s, $8000 was a huge amount of money. Like two to four years' salary.

Gotta get that money to hand to the billionaires that have perfected regulatory capture.

i can cook 5 good meals for that money that will taste good. I cant afford delivery meals.

Just turn the radio up louder

actually, it would be London!

Crypto is just Kohl's Cash for men, right?

Some people got lucky. A colleague got into BTC back when it was below $400. Didn't buy a lot, but last time I checked he hadn't worked in the last 6 years. No, I didn't listen to him.
