People don't save money. Absolutely nothing to do with this country being great or not.

Apparently, this kind of thing doesn't happen in the USA. Not ever. Not even close.

[Deleted User] · 12/04/13 - 16:16

silly

TV girl, are you British by birth or are you forced to stay here for some reason. If I hated the country I lived in and was not a national, I'd get my cute ass out of there pdq.

I suppose the US has not such social problems, what with half the country being 2 paychecks away from homelessness themselves.

It's not hard to understand, I don't think. The article is explaining that many people don't save sufficient money saved to cover their housing costs in the eventuality that there is a hiatus in their regular income.

The US has the highest poverty rate among developed countries, according to the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

No but they can save for a rainy day.

elliecat · 12/04/13 - 16:21

It could happen to me but that's my fault for not saving and has nothing to do with this country or anyone else.
