    I’m so grateful that big brain lent a fraction of their vast intelligence to think of us simple folk.

    I’m genuinely curious why you can’t pay earlier…

      Because of a lack of funds… How is that difficult for you to understand? Are you this privileged?

        I’m not privileged. I work hard 6 days a week and try to save money and pay my rent before other frivolous spending like snacks and energy drinks. I understand we are all struggling and making sacrifices. But I also know that some stuff comes first and rent is one of those things. Avoiding paying $300 in fees seems like a good thing to do and I would proba ly prioritize it.

      Yeah you’ve never had to make your own money.

        It's easier for him to say this when he lives with his mommy or daddy, working part-time that he considers "work hard" and chugging down Monster energy drinks like the good capitalist doggie that he is.

        I don’t appreciate being called a liar but I have nothing to prove to you. Hope you have a nice day

  Do you tell deaf people to just hear as well?

    He said he has to use flex or pay late fees. I’m curious what the alternative to flex is that forces him to pay late fees and why paying a few days earlier somehow doesn’t work to avoid fees. Just seems weird to me, but I’ve never been in that situation.

      Not every can get mommy and daddy to do an instant wire transfer when things go wrong.

        You’re supposed to have a 6month emergency fund built up. I just wanted to know what the alternative to flex pay was but apparently I didn’t ask that in the proper way. Sorry
