Only 39% of Americans have enough savings to cover a $1,000 emergency

But it does not matter. People fail to understand that the government is ultimately responsible for any bad decisions (like failure to save) that we as individual's make. Like saving for emergencies, or retirement. It is our God given right enshrined in the Constitution that we deserve the latest smart phone, newest model car with every option including butt warmer seats, and six foot wide TV's; And our fellow Americans MUST use their tax dollars to save us from our financial frivolity, and it is EVIL, JUST EVIL I SAY, for an American business to provide a good or service and then expect us to actually keep paying for it if we hit a financial rough spot.

What's that....? It's not in the Constitution...? Sorry... Never mind.

Sad but true.
