I think the #1 thing rich people REALLY DON'T GET

[XemaSab]

is how completely draining stupid little bills are to the middle and lower classes.

In the last few months I spent 700 getting the front window replaced (after one of the dogs blew it out), 900 on the cars (cracked axle, busted bearings, new brakes, and general tune-up issues), 500 on a new dryer, and tonight my laptop won't work and so I don't have a computer (this after spending 500+ to try to fix the stupid power connection). So far none of the dogs has had to go to the vet this year, but we spent about three thousand last year on vet bills alone (if your dog ever starts vomiting blood, seriously consider pretending you don't notice it).

Thousands of dollars in random bills may not matter to people making 100K, but to people making half of that amount, or a quarter of that amount, this kind of crap can be the difference between being financially stable and losing the house.
