    If anyone is curious this is the process

    1. Be fucked
    2. Payday loan
    3. Payday
    4. 600% are you fucking kidding me?
    5. What’s the minimum?
    6. I’ll pay this the rest of my life I guess
    7. Be fucked by high interest loan
    8. Beg for money from family, friends, co-workers
    9. Thank God now I’m back to zero
    10. Still exactly as fucked as before

    The Old Poor standard method

    1. Be Fucked
    2. Beg for money from family, friends, co-workers, new GF, new GF’s roommate, A dog owner you met at a dog park, Mormon missionaries, your landlord, your landlords ugly kid, your cousin, total strangers after you pretend you have the same name as them and act just JAZZED about it, anyone you suspect is sexually attracted to you, your nanna’s bridge group, other poor people, the homeless, people who speak the same language you do and are having a celebration at a public park after you convince them your ‘‘John’s Kid’’ or ‘‘Tia Marta’s thursday church preacher’’ literally anyone.
    3. Somehow still exactly as fucked as before but now you feel HELLA GUILT, because Tia Marta made you go to church on thursday and the preacher is very convincing. But at least you can’t be LEGALLY obligated to pay a loan shark money, and you saved a lot of time.
