“Pity they don’t calculate your “wealth” *after* your necessary expenses.”
Bills can add up to 100 % to 110% of your monthly gross. The whole system needs to be rebuilt so that it actually works, and for less in the long run.
Yup.
I have a Care Credit card that my mom got for him since my credit score is abysmal, now and when I log in to see what I owe, I feel sick.
Thankfully he has insurance that pays a large percentage but I still have the copays and the consultations and such that are not covered and racking up.
On top of our usual bills, such as the insanely high electric bills, car insurance, etc, we have very little extra left.
The people who run these “systems” obviously are clueless about what things really cost.
My mom is always telling me that I should “get a nicer coat” or whatever and I answer her the same every time “Goodwill is not really known for having a huge or elegant selection”
Not to mention that Goodwill has lost its collective mind.
They price a lot of stuff like it’s new, now.
Sometimes, even worse.
I see stuff they sell at the Dollar Tree on the shelves and they want $2 for it.
It does no good to tell them that because they always ask me “Do you want to round up?”
Well, no.
I’m shopping *here* so obviously “rounding up” is not in my budget.
Crazy world.
I heard yesterday that the Sheetz chain of stores is having $1.99 gas until the 28th and I got all excited about that but Maryland has a law forbidding selling gas for less than cost so I can’t get it and there’s no stores in WV or PA close enough to justify the drive.
If anyone is near one of the stores that offers it, here is the website to find out
