In a desperate attempt to make ends meet, one individual has resorted to waiting until payday in order to donate. This news has sparked outrage and disbelief among the public, as it is a sign of how bad people have become with their money. The story began when an anonymous Twitter user posted a tweet that read “Lmao this broke 🤡 has kids and has to wait until payday to donate. Yikes people are really bad with money” along with a link. The tweet quickly went viral, prompting many people to comment on the situation and express their shock at the financial struggles that some individuals are facing. Financial experts have weighed in on the matter, expressing their concern about how common it is for individuals to be living paycheck-to-paycheck and not having enough money saved up for emergencies or donations. They point out that this is often due to poor budgeting skills or lack of knowledge about how finances work, which can lead people into debt and other financial problems. Many have also expressed sympathy for those who are struggling financially, noting that it can be difficult for some individuals to make ends meet even when they are trying their best. It is important for those who find themselves in such situations not to give up hope but instead look for ways they can improve their financial situation by learning more about budgeting and saving money. Unfortunately, stories like this one highlight just how serious of an issue financial literacy is becoming in today’s society and serve as a reminder of why it is so important for everyone—especially young adults—to learn basic financial principles early on in life so they don’t end up in similar situations down the line.
