The moral of the story here is that Nicole is one ruthless, cold, and careless customer service rep. Outside that, Chase bank gets "exposed" for being a money hungry, evil sac of bullsh*t. Aren't we all just...shocked. If anything, take this guy's fiery twitter thread about his bizarre number-crunching money debacle with Chase bank, as a cautionary tale for what your bank could be pulling on you, under the table. Who knows. 

A CNBC article has the internet angrier than usual today; maybe. The article suggests that a couple that makes $500K a year can actually have an average budget. Um, what we see in their expenses is anything but average. Apparently "little to no money" is having $36K lying around to throw into your 401K, WITH $7,300 left over. 

The devil is in the details. This informative Tumblr post dedicated to breaking down the poverty cycle in America, is making the rounds. You be the judge on whether or not they're on point with their breakdown. 

Following Thomas Violence's quote saying, "no billionaire has ever worked harder than anyone that cleans toilets for a living", people on Twitter began to passionately debate whether this actually held up. The resulting tweets are brimming with spiciness, potential truths, awareness, and appreciation (?) for the common struggle that can afflict any human being just trying to make ends meet. 

You can almost make out this employee's stress-sweat in the story, told. This story's the stuff of fever dreams. My hands get clammy just trying to picture myself in his nightmarish scenario. 

"Financial Dominatrix" sounds like a fancy made up job name like "Life Coach" or "CEO." We're pretty sure she's a glorified gold digger but if it works for her, more power to her. This guy comes in swinging trying to figure out what the hell she actually does, but by Tinder standards, it's not that wierd.

Bloomberg's, Joe Nocera, asks the internet whether or not they think the rich really ever paid 90% of their income to the "taxman." Check out some of his findings that were shared on Twitter. The results might surprise you, or make total sense. It's a funny thing: people making a whole lot of money, can (key word being, "can") put up a long-drawn out fight to keep their money. These are some of those moments. 

It's a wildly shallow world and some people (are smart enough to) play along. 

These articles by their very design seem intended to piss people off, but we're still pissed off. As it turns out, this young go-getter has a whopping $43,000 put away, with $20K of that being in liquid assets. Maybe those charitable donations are a bit stingy after all...

These'll help you out more than words can express! 

This study comes in from the team at howmuch.net, and it was bound to make some waves. I mean, that's just what we're gathering based off the steady stream of outrage coming in from millennials that seem more aligned with having their salary in debt/loans by the time they're 30. 

Turns out having someone else pay for a sizable chunk of your sh*t is quite the viable strategy. Check out the original article that got Twitter's blood boiling over here!  

These people are dangerously in over their heads. 

This is accurate ENOUGH to be utterly terrifying.
