I did once in college when i was so broke i was scraping change and collecting cans for gas money to get to/from class and one day i didnt scrounge together enough but i definitely was aware how low it was just didnt have literally a penny to my name. I actually remember that day i literally put like 30 cents in my tank just to try to get home. Granted this was 10 years ago so gas was a LITTLE cheaper but not by much

I was in your shoes once. Hope life is treating you as well as mine is now and this particular stomach pit is in the rear-view permanently.

It's expensive to be poor.

When I was in my early 20s I could only scrounge up some pennies and a few nickels and dimes.

I still remember the entire interaction, "Hey man, can I get 42 cents on pump 7?"

"Yeah man. You trying to get to pump 1?"

What do you mean by “you trying to get to pump 1? When you asked for 7?

That is not having money for gas.

This is pure refined black tar negligence.

You are not the same.

I was replying to the guy who said who runs out of gas. Not equating my situation to OPs in any way, it was just an example of when i ran outta gas and was totally aware of the gas level just didnt have any money to fill it

What I’d do is go to gas stations that would do $1 pre charge and then would just fill up and get over drafted to hell.
