At what age did you save your first $100K? For some of you, that question makes you laugh out loud. You barely have $ 1,000 in savings, let alone 100 times $1,000.

‘I paid for $1.00 worth of Ramen with a check at a grocery store. The check bounced.’: Former broke people share the brokest things they did while living in poverty
We all have different definitions of «broke.» I would argue that someone who makes $150,000 a year but has $150,000 in debt is pretty dang broke. I can also admit that someone with that amount of money coming in is probably not living a stereotypically «broke» existence as someone without any debt who’s making $35,000 …

Tax Day Memes for Procrastinators Asking for an Extension on April 15th
Ah, Taxes. They are one of the most American things to complain about. Our forefathers didn’t dump a bunch of British tea in the Boston Harbor because they were mad about foreign policy. They were raging over British tea being taxed and America not being represented in Parliament! Now, we’re almost 250 years out from …

Boyfriend of 2 years calls his girlfriend greedy for not sharing her $50K of lottery winnings with him: ‘He said things like, “Finally, you can help me pay off some of my credit card debt.”’
If you get one piece of financial advice, let it be this: never tell anyone if you win the lottery. While your accountant and your wife of 40 years might be exceptions to that rule, it’s one that you must apply to every other relationship in your life. It doesn’t matter if you win $2000 …

Customer refuses to ‘pay forward’ the $42 coffee order from the car behind him after a kind stranger pays for his $4 coffee: ‘The cashier looked at me with total contempt’
I’m so glad I never worked in a drive-thru window because if I did, I would’ve floundered the second somebody wanted to pay for the person behind them. I don’t know how to pull up the credit card information of a customer who just left! What are you, nuts? Against all odds, drive-thru employees find …

Mother of 6 charges sister’s family $250 for staying at her house for a weekend: ‘I did a grocery run before arriving. I never wanted to be a burden on her.’
Money is such a tricky topic to broach, especially among family members. You can get away with never really talking about specific finances with your friends, but with family, it’s inevitable. It’s even more inevitable when you travel together and do things together regularly. Some people are strict splitters: you put down two cards at …

Bride and groom gift $800 to each wedding guest, pay for their first-class flights: ‘For a 100 guests that’s like half a million alone’
Many people dream of their fairytale wedding. Movies and TV shows put big ideas in our heads about over-the-top ceremonies in exotic, far-flung locales, huge couture gowns, and all the bells and whistles. Weddings capture our imaginations: they’re parties, yes, but they’re also public displays of love, family, and most importantly, of wealth. They’re opportunities …

‘They came back with $2,000 in an envelope’: Parents bribe adult son to attend sister’s wedding despite toxic brother’s attendance, it backfires
Bribes, though generally frowned upon, are usually effective. Cash is a very powerful motivator. Take, for instance, YouTube behemoth Mr. Beast. The whole conceit of his channel is bribing normal people into doing difficult and unsavory tasks (like surviving in a grocery store for as long as possible or completing a high-stakes obstacle course) in …
