    Because some people don’t have cars. And some people don’t have bank accounts. That’s why I said “or.”

    I have that shower thought frequently whenever I realize my bank account is down to the triple digits so that means I can’t spend any money just in case because it’s always necessary to keep money in the bank due to unforeseen circumstances, which always happen. And also there are a lot of things I’m saving up for so I just can’t spend any money at all. And I’m like “What the heck? I earned this money. But I can’t spend it.”

    Same with fuel. You can’t have zero gas in your tank ever. Or you will be driving down the freeway one day and run out of gas and that will be a problem.
