How are you doing financially? (lemm.ee)

I read that half of Americans couldn’t cover an unexpected $1,000 expense. This sounds crazy to me. I understand that poverty exists, but the idea that an adult with a job doesn’t even have that amount saved up seems really strange.

What’s your relationship or philosophy with money? What do you credit for your financial success, or alternatively, what do you blame for your failures?

For the extra brave ones: how much savings do you have, and what are you planning to do with them?

I have 1k euro left. No job, 35 years old. I wanna kill myself sometimes.

Please don't! Do you qualify for state-sponsored training? I know some people who have really improved their situation by taking advantage of the courses the unemployment office offers.

Dude I'm not even from there.

no matter. I know that Career foundry offers (used to offer?) a "pay after" scheme for some of their certifications. So it doesn't cost you anything up front, but you set up a contract where you'd pay them like 5-10% of your new job's wages for a set time.

I'm not from USA. Or European. And I don't have any interest in computers and I'm stupid for studying.

In this post you said you're in America: https://lemmings.world/comment/10985752

I get the impression that you don't want help or advice, you just want to spend your time posting lies on the internet.

I don't live in America wtf is wrong with you? I don't even speak English. I don't care about what you think you don't know me... Or what I'm not supposed to write because I'm not American? You're messed up
