    Then you’ve never been poor and living paycheck to paycheck.

    There are times when it’s either find a loan from someone or not eat for two weeks because something in your house broke and that’s unfortunately a reality for many Americans including myself at one time.

      I understnd financing. The problem is financing groceries. So you cover the unexpected and finance groceries. what about next month?! Unless you get a way to make more money to cover the difference you going ro have to finance again plus interests

      edit: I’m sorry, I’m not american and I was trying to understand some decision. I get it

        Girl, if they don’t eat they won’t make it to next month! This isn’t a financial decision, it’s a survival decision.
