Even before the pandemic, 40% of Americans could not absorb a $400 unexpected expenditure. There is no way in the world that that $400 is not gone by now. 40% of all Americans. Let me repeat that. 40% of all Americans.

We need a Poor People's Movement and all 99% need to be part of it

From another perspective, 40% of Americans is 140,000,000 souls who cannot afford a $400.00 emergency expenditure.

In China, median income is a fraction of that of Americans. Cost of living in large cities is comparable to that of large cities in the US. I would guess that 99% of Chinese could handle an unexpected $400 expense. Difference, in China they save, in the US we spend it all.

Crime is rising in the US. Our government is encouraging this with their actions and they know.

We are way beyond the due date for relief package ... Republicans are being cruel! ... I guess the "Golden Rule" doesn't exist in the Republican Party ...

I agree Marianne! we definitely need an overhaul of financial literacy education and a BRUTALLY honest talk about the uselessness of a college degree in our modern economy.

I get $275 a week. The $1k pays my bills and needs with little left over. If I hadn't been able to bank some of that extra $600 a week over the summer, when my $400 repair cost to my fuel pump that happened last week would have broken me.
