Selling my stocks to pay rent would be like selling my car to pay for a bus ticket.
if you need to sell your stocks to receive value from them then you're gambling not investing and I would actually consider that the same shitty situation.
The median savings is $5,300. So at the bare minimum, 12% of America has over $5,300 in savings but considers themselves "paycheck-to-paycheck."
One fun thing I am learning is that if you have worked all your life and paid into the social safety net then you aren't qualified for SSDI if you own over $3000 worth of assets.
There are very good reasons to enact massive amounts of violence against the GOP and their voters; they literally kill and destroy for pleasure.
If you only have about 5K in savings, you need that in savings for emergencies such as medical expenses or suddenly needing to move due to rent increases. That is paycheck to paycheck.
jeez. that's the low-end of my goal for yearly savings. I generally average a bit more, at least the last few years.
Congratulations on the privilege?
