If the people who are acting like shitheads can't keep 300 in their accounts, then that's their problem, right? You're just better at managing money then, yeah? Yeah.

Yeah......thanks! You always know what to say to make me feel better. Thanks

People can be really ridiculous sometimes.

It's not always about managing money.

But anyway, I'm sorry I made you feel bad Stephanie, I really didn't mean to. Your post just rubbed me the wrong way because I've lived a LARGE part of my life EXTREMELY poor and what you said seemed naive. I didn't know that you'd been homeless before or that you'd seen how poverty is, and I feel bad for saying what I did now that I know that. Just what you said sounded like what a richer (or at least not-poor) person might say about money, not really understanding how bad it could be.

From age 11 to age 15 I living with my mother and my four siblings and the only money we lived on was $600 A MONTH. Even though my mother was a whiz at money management and we were never 100% broke, and the bills were always paid, there were bad times when all we had to eat was rice.

Hopefully you understand where I was coming from with my comment before, and I REALLY didn't mean to make you feel bad.
