I don't really see why this post was needed nor did I say it was a small fortune (hyperbole is fun isn't it?) but I guess I'll respond in kind

I wouldn't expect you to know this but not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their hand. I had, or rather was made to get, my first "job" at 15 doing concrete work for a close friend, off and on maybe working 2 days a week. Got a "real" job working at Best Buy at age 17, which is pretty extraordinary but they had to hire me since they had no minors working for them and they could be sued for discrimination (this fact was made very clear to me at my time of hiring). At age 18 I was told I had 6 months to save up find a roommate and find an apartment. I found both and I was living on a pretty good wage making about 13$ an hour. But keep in mind this was still only part time about 30 hours a week and after taxes I take home about 15k a year

But then comes the hard part, health insurance is about 100 a month, car insurance is only 50 since I'm still on my parents policy to save us all money. Rent is about 500 a month car payment is about 200 a month now thats about 10,200 a year. I don't pay my food bill, thankfully, my parents do pay that. But after all my expenses I take home extra about 100$ a month half of which immediately goes into a savings account for emergencies. Oh and also going to a Junior College is sort of expensive, good thing I get half of that paid for through scholarship and financial aid

But anyway before you make a comment and offhandedly insult someone try to think deeper of their financial situation. No I'm not living on sofa change but 15$ a month can be spent on something more important. Though I still don't know why you felt you needed to post that in a thread thanking people but based on your posting history I guess you're just that kind of person.
