~Some People With Money Make Me Laugh~

My sister text me this morning asking if we're okay. I told her it hasn't hit yet. I told her we already have some branches down in our yard even though it hasn't hit quite yet. So she says come here to get out of there! I said we don't have a running vehicle. She said take a bus! Um... I told her we cannot afford a bus ticket for all of us and I'm not leaving my dog. Look, I wish we had $500 or more in the bank for saving but the reality is we are BROKE! We just got our rent paid for the month - barely and we have no money now. We live paycheck to paycheck and can barely get by each month... Must be nice not living in the reality I live in but...it doesn't work that way for everyone. Yes it was nice of her to offer but now she's annoyed since I told her we can't do that. Oh well we are not rich by any means!

For some people, unless they have been in that situation, they just have no idea.

@judyev Yeah and she really hasn't had it tough like we do so I don't think she gets it at all.

Find a safe place where to stay, but do not move, all the roads are surely crowded.

Stay safe!! Some people just cannot understand . . . they can tell you what they would do, but they have to realize it's not as easy for everyone as they make it sound.

@much2say Thank you. Nope they sure dont! Lol. People who have extra and a way to do things think it's that easy for everyone.

@Abbygreenhill Shelters are far from us and we don't have a way to get there. Plus most are at full capacity.

Unfortunately, some people are clueless about money or the lack of it. I know you trust in God's care for you and your family. Stay safe. We're in NC so we're praying also.

I hope the storm does not damage your area. Keeping calm is one good advice.

Nothing wrong with living pay check to paycheck. I did that for forty years and at least you and your husband support your own family.

@jstory07 Yeah we do the best we can for our family. There's just nothing left for extras. =( Not many people understand that.

Can you get out with some neighbors? I hope it doesn't hit there. I know what you mean about the money thing. There are people who take it for granted.

@Cinnamongrl If we do have to evacuate we have a friend that will get us to safety. I hope it doesn't either but from the track it's supposed to. Yup, some with plenty of money just don't get it.

Prayers for your safety. There are far more like you, living paycheck to paycheck, than those who are richer. Have a safe and blessed day
