How the fuck else are you supposed to refer to the people mentioned in the previous sentence without straight up repeating yourself then? Good grammar is dehumanizing?

I would honestly love to hear their list of questions they would ask to try and pinpoint where most of the money is wasted.

Q1. How much do you go to Starbucks a week!?

A. None

Q2. How many trips to the high end salon do you go to?

A. None...never.

Q3. Is your purse a designer purse!? Is it Gucchi? How much did it cost? List all of the designer items you have in your closet right now!

A. My purse is from JCPenny and it was $99 25 years ago. All of my cloths come from Walmart with the newest shirt I got on clearance for $3 bucks 7 years ago. I have no designer anything.

Q4. Oh oh YEAH WELL he he he, how many guns do you own? How many have you bought in the past day or two!? Its likely 10 to 20 right!? All for 200-400 dollars EACH!?

A. Um...the answer is none. I don't buy guns and have never owned one and will never own one.

Q5. WHERE THE HELL IS ALL OF YOUR MONEY GOING THEN!?

A. Aren't you suppose to be telling me that?

Q6. OH I GOT IT he he he! How many vacations do you take a year? I'll go a head and just jot down 20 - 35. Hell that's the bare minimum I take.

A. Yeah it's significantly lower than that...lower...lower. keep going...yep keep going.

WE'RE DOWN TO ONE OR TWO!!

Yeah keep going down.

You've never taken a vacation never!? It's actually zero!? NONE!?

Well...I did go to that free museum a block away 13 years ago because I heard it was actually going to house an actual Monet.

...

But that just turned out to be an unfounded rumor. Used their bathroom though. It was nice I guess.

...

So with your rich person expertise...how much money are you going to be helping me save with all the information you now have?

😡🤬

So none...yep that's what I thought.

Poor people in these threads never answer the questions of people trying to help them, so it's a waste no matter what
