I agree with you in principle, but consider the audience. The average TSA screener is making roughly $35k per year. Meteorologists I know at a couple of NWS locations are making $40k, and they have student loans on top of their entry-level government salary. It's easy for someone like you or I to stash large chunks of money away, but to expect someone making $35k to put $17,500 in savings is unreasonable. People living paycheck to paycheck don't have the luxury of savings accounts.

Exactly. Just because a person is living paycheck to paycheck doesn't mean they are fiscally irresponsible.

Agree, everyone's situation is different. Some people do take advantage of others less fortunate situation to defend their own failure to fend for themselves. You suffer more than I do from their ruse. I apologize for that. I do enjoy helping those in "real" need ... it is very hard to tell the difference when the practice of illusion has been perfected.

So, I have decided I will move in with you ... Because you need someone like me, and I need someone like you. Clear me a room.
