If one doesn’t have at least $400 stashed in your house for ANY kind of emergency I think they are foolish.
I was down to my last two cases of bottled water and went to Costco. All they had was the expensive water on hand. I went back two days later and they had about half as much of the normal cheap Costco brand. But that surprised me. But like I told my family - “That’s why I have two cases of water in the shed.” (Not counting all of the half-gallon juice jugs filled with water.)
Yeah - I’m a bit crazy. Until last week when Costco was almost all out bottled water!
By the way. If you go into the Apple store and want to buy a phone, but don’t have the $400 - they tell you to leave. If you go into the emergency room and don’t have the $400, they treat you anyway.
Interesting. Isn’t the figure 47% of the populace who are on some kind of gubmint dole, and who don’t pay income tax?
Also, wasn’t it his 47% remark blurted out near a “live” microphone that helped sink Willard Romney?
since the 47% includes those of us receiving back the money we payed into social security, your assertion is flawed.
Of course to make a false point you don’t really care about the truth of the matter
I am on a retiree plan.
One visit to emergency last January cost me $4500 out of pocket for a CT scan and stitching up.
Tragic what obama has allowed to do to healthcare.
78% could not be reached for this poll because they were healing from their new neck tattoos that “have meaning” to them; 71% could not be reached for the poll because they were downloading Beyoncé’s latest songs on their iPhones; 92% were binge-watching Netflix; and the others were ordering venti-sized carmel-mocha frappucinos with a shot of espresso and a double-pump of chocolate at Starbucks.
I don’t believe it. Which is usual for zerohedge.
Thank you for your kind courtesy.
A Cruzer, are you?
I think most are so strapped with their outlays they can’t find it.
I certainly can’t. There’s nearly 95 million not in the workforce for several reasons.
Feral cat, oh me. I’m surprised they didn’t make you get rabies shots.
I agree completely. When I first started out on my own, I out money aside in savings before spending anything. If you have a state of mind that makes saving a priority, then it’s easy to make the right decisions.
The entitlement attitude is taught in schools and that extends to spending.
There's a dirty little secret here. The bill collectors can harass you, but they're not allowed to ding your credit if you are late on health care bills.
I am still paying off a hospital bill of about $5,0000. fortunately they decided to give me a discount.
