20% of $20 has a MUCH smaller impact on someone who is suffering financially than 20% of $1000 so your analogy is not really the same in terms of impact.

- throwaway98121 8y agoSuffering financially has a pretty wide band. If you make $100k but only save $100 or save nothing, I’d say your suffering financially. If you work minimum wage and have a spouse or even just kids to support, 20% of $20 isn’t chump change. You have to make every penny count. You’re in an extremely difficult position.
