> Trying to solve your problems with money and failing is not evidence that it's expensive to be poor; it suggests you have blinders preventing you from doing the normal thing. OK, it seems I have elucidate my point for you: in this case I may have had the cash, but I refused to give my banking information, emulating what a person who may not be legal and therefore do not have access to banking or other financial services. This may not be a direct parallel, but I do have other examples of how from personal experience I realized that being poor is expensive; student debt being a prime example. What I'm saying is that I built my startup to service people who were denied banking and financial services, and I got my 'privilege checked' and realized just how costly it is to be really poor.
