Goldenguy 04/01/20 11:12:09 PM #40:	Teenman posted... Dont feel bad for others lack of planning or preparedness. Ive been dirt broke, lower middle class and upper middle class in my lifetime. One thing I have learned from all 3 situations is to never live above your means and save what you can. Covid-19 has shown that a lot of people just dont plan understand this. Dont get two $600 a month car loans and $1500 house loan if you cant afford it. Dont spend 90% of your monthly income on bills. Purchase within your means, we arent all movie stars. "Don't live above your means" should be taught in schools. I have a co-worker who makes a touch less than me hourly, she and her husband (same company, more $$$) got her a new vehicle ($850 a month, ouch) and them a new house ($1000ish) while the overtime was good.. now she works a second job so they can avoid missing payments. I have a buddy who makes close to 50% more than me hourly; he started innocently enough with car payments but continually jacked around and got late so often that his latest hail Mary of an auto loan has him paying $500+ a month for his SUV and the only reason he isn't being evicted from his house this month is covid. --- Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand. Ignorance, prejudice, and fear walk hand in hand. <cite>Goldenguy posted [p:936627539] in I feel kin...
