people who bloobloobloo about how they can't afford some important/necessary expense when a couple of months earlier they plurked photos of the $100+ of fandom merch they'd just bought.
bitch please. learn how to manage your goddamn money.
To be fair, 'a couple of months' between one event and the other sound like a considerable amount of time, during which their financial situation could potentially have changed drastically for the negative.
On the other hand, I've seen those things within the span of a single month (or, my personal favorite, one girl (read: 30-year-old woman) whining how they have nothing but rice left to eat for the rest of the month (... plurked mid-month), and the plurk right after that was them asking whether someone wanted to join them for some $300 vacation trip two months later).
Even if someone's financial situation has changed for the worse, if their finances were so tight to begin with that $100 means the difference between being able to pay for something they need or not then they really couldn't afford to be spending that $100 frivolously anyway.
I make enough to pay all my bills, and then some. I even have a nice little bit of saving in case anything comes up (about $3000)
If I lost my job? That'd be gone within a few months. If my car died, things would suddenly get tight for a few months. If there was a serious illness or injury...I have enough to cover that sort of emergency but things would be tight.
On the flip side I do also know plenty of people that money currently IS tight and they still make massive frivolous purposes. So there's that, too.
i'm so glad i dropped the person on my list who whined about how she couldn't afford school while also dropping hundreds to a thousand dollars on cosplay and cons
