Ho, ho, ho!
I have a close relative who was busted for dwi in college.
he went to court and was offered a week in jail or a ankle monitor for the week. he called me and asked for $400 the cover the cost of the ankle monitor. He had the money that pay for it himself but, if he paid for the ankle monitor, He wouldn't be able to go to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break.
its a mental block and why broke people stay broke. They get a dollar and instead of saving for the future they feel they deserve something nice.
Because I really need a break from my suck ass life.
You cant break the cycle of poverty by just giving people money.
P.S. I did not give him the $400 he needed to go on vacation and avoid jail
