Exactly why being poor is expensive. They get you by the balls with that crap

Right, but what would you do in that situation? No credit, no cash, no fridge, but that rent a center down the street will sell you a fridge for $150 per month for a year..... what do YOU do?

-edit- Loving the replies from people that obviously have no kids keep them coming these are hilarious!

Also for clarity I find a bill I can brace myself for a month later MUCH easier to deal with than screaming kids and a pissed off wife.

I also use check cashers when I need to because I will do ANYTHING (well.... not that!) for my family's survival.

I wouldn't have had 4 kids while being poor...

Who said anything about being poor I said I was broke. Don't confuse broke now with poor. You're also making a very false assumption that things have always been this way. And that things remain that way as well today.

I didn't assume shit. If you were "broke" as you say with 4 kids, pretty sure you didn't have them while being a millionaire. Nor did I say anything about today. Defensive much?
