>most Americans don't even have 500 for emergency
I used to be paycheck to paycheck before I started stacking. now I still make the same but the wallet isn't empty at the end of two weeks. It's a mentality shift but I still find it safest to go to the lcs and blow whatever extra I have there rather than going to the grocery store and buying Dubai chocolates or some bullshit that won't be here in two weeks anyway
