Not sure why you are being downvoted it's the truth. A good financial position includes having a healthy emergency fund to buffer some of lifes large unexpected expenses, such as car trouble.
The reality is most people aren't in good financial positions, which is a key feature of capitalism.
I'm not certain, either. I think some people are ignorant enough that they would take my statement as a personal insult, which it is absolutely not, in any way shape or form.
It is not a character flaw for someone to not have enough money to handle unpredictable expenses. But it is naive and/or ignorant to consider yourself in "good financial position" if you're not in good enough shape to afford necessary transportation related expenses like car repairs or acquiring a new vehicle when the old one dies.
Exactly, I think they are just being a troll.
I appreciate you for acknowledging it.
