I'm so grateful that big brain lent a fraction of their vast intelligence to think of us simple folk.

I'm genuinely curious why you can't pay earlier..

Yeah I don't think you've ever had to earn your own money.

I don't appreciate being called a liar but I have nothing to prove to you. Hope you have a nice day

Because of a lack of funds... How is that difficult for you to understand? Are you this privileged?

I'm not privileged. I work hard 6 days a week and try to save money and pay my rent before other frivolous spending like snacks and energy drinks. I understand we are all struggling and making sacrifices. But I also know that some stuff comes first and rent is one of those things. Avoiding paying $300 in fees seems like a good thing to do and I would proba ly prioritize it.
