Fully 75% of members brew their coffee at home (poll here) and another 11% don't drink coffee, so it's no surprise it is so often used as an example of other people's poor choices.So we're talking about working folks stopping to get gas and a coffee, maybe a danish, on their morning commute, right? And casting judgment that they shouldn't be spending that recklessly?
Nah, can't get behind that. Especially now. If I've learned anything these last few months of stay-at-home, it's little things like stopping for a coffee that make each day a little brighter.
Low savings and inability to manage an emergency expense is nothing new and has been the topic of many media reports and thread discussions over the years.You are right I don’t know, I’m guessing but with the number of people that can’t handle a $1,000 repair bill it is an educated guess.
This forum community is an elite group. We're easily in the top tier (10%, perhaps even 1%) of savers and thrifty people, these habits stand out in times of crisis.
