Pay earlier to avoid fees?
Do you tell deaf people to just hear as well?
He said he has to use flex or pay late fees. I'm curious what the alternative to flex is that forces him to pay late fees and why paying a few days earlier somehow doesn't work to avoid fees. Just seems weird to me, but I've never been in that situation.
Brilliant, thanks!
I'm so grateful that big brain lent a fraction of their vast intelligence to think of us simple folk.
I'm genuinely curious why you can't pay earlier..
Because of a lack of funds... How is that difficult for you to understand? Are you this privileged?
I'm not privileged. I work hard 6 days a week and try to save money and pay my rent before other frivolous spending like snacks and energy drinks. I understand we are all struggling and making sacrifices. But I also know that some stuff comes first and rent is one of those things. Avoiding paying $300 in fees seems like a good thing to do and I would proba ly prioritize it.
