How do you deal with being broke?

quinnly@lemmy.ml to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 295 points –

I'm in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there's ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I'm legitimately fucked. I'm one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

Why are you ordering Sony XM4s if you’re “broke”? Sounds like you’re just a scumbag who wants to justify being a scum bag to society.

If I didn't have a laptop or the money to buy one, I'd steal one because I wouldn't be able to make money without one. Is a laptop a human right? No, not even close. Am I able to feed myself without access to a computer? Not really, no.

Lol how does that make him a scumbag to society? He’s not hurting the rest of the herd by doing this.

When you steal, somebody gets hurt. If you encourage many people to steal, employers go bankrupt or have to downsize, letting employees go. But XM4 is a human right?

The folks at amazon and sony can cry their little hearts out.

Not all eshops are run by huge corporations.

I know. I've bought from those types of shops before and even China's version of ebay: TaoBao
