    2/3 Of Americans Have difficulty coming up with 1000

    NEW YORK -- Two-thirds of Americans would have difficulty coming up with the money to cover a $1,000 emergency, according to an exclusive poll released Thursday, a signal that despite years of recovery from the Great Recession, Americans' financial conditions remain precarious as ever.

    income disparity is just ridiculously bad atm. the term rich get richer, poor get poorer is true by design...



    when 20% of the people own over 80% of the wealth, there's a problem.

    You just have to be smart enough to become the 20%

    Strange if true since I believe the average visitor to Vegas spends $600 on gambling per trip.

    yeah but the problem with this is the middle class in america no longer exists. when the middle class disappears, watch out. there will be chaos soon, that's why the elites are scared and want to disarm the citizens...

    greatest changes happen in edge of chaos. there will be changes coming in the very near future.

    That's the dream conservatives sell to convince the people to vote for things against their own interests.

    Using our own ego against us for generations.

    While much of this is true there is no need for the victim mentality. Changing your business model and financial strategy to fit the current shifts is something available to everyone, at little cost.

    There will be trouble when the shit house comes down but don't act like a victim when it happens, be prepared for the inevitable.

    And stop misleading the SBR Forum by claiming you are concerned for them, then proceed to steer them wrong.

    It's not necessary and hurts the credibility of SBR.

    True, this leads to insider trading in order to get back some money and we saw how that can turn out.

    Booya, don't let JJ in on any company secrets, just make the $10 a gift.

    Mo one of your fellow Canadians burnt one of my stores. He bought 175 dollar with merchandise and did a charge back on us. Unfortunately we didn't have the chip reader on CCs at the time and he was using one, so there was no recourse. We even had a signature and video, nothing we could do. Ultimately he knew what he was doing. We even had to cover the exchange rate., lol.

    So business owners update your hardware, crooks are out and know about it.

    They might be borrowing up the nose.

    Also, there was some info from California, I believe, and they found that the newly loaded EBT cards were used to take out cash in places like Vegas, Disneyland, and even DisneyWorld, in Florida.

    We have people come into our shop all of the time with $500 and $1000 deductibles that expect us to help cover it because they don't have the money. They don't understand if there is only $800 labor to make on a wreck, we can't go in the hole helping them. They just end up spending the insurance check on other shit and driving around in a smashed up car.

    Let me get this right Kermit.....people who know and got a Insurance policy with a 500 or 1000 deductible come to your shop when they have a wreck and ask you to cover the deductible
