Daryl Fairweather churned out an interesting little viral Twitter thread about what goes into people's motivations for various investment strategies. That point about the doomsday preppers is just a little bit too real, with the current dystopian world that we find ourselves living in. 

These choosing beggars are stubbornly persistent as they are completely irrational. So often they'll come out of nowhere and bombard a seller's perfectly reasonable listing with perfectly unreasonable demands. Sometimes free goods aren't even cheap enough for the particularly evolved choosing beggar. The following choosing beggars are definitely in a league of their own. 

If this were a chess match between the sleazy bank and dad, dad just pulled the checkmate on them. Good for dad for being financially literate. For another spicy tale of pro revenge, check out this story about a man who crank called his friend and ended up being served a fake paternity suit.

This Tumblr thread shines light on the terrible struggles experienced by disabled individuals in America, when it comes to getting financial assistance. Specifically, we're talking about scenarios where these individuals literally can't save money, and are forced to deplete their resources every month, for fear of being cut off from financial assistance. If they exceed a certain amount of money, their financial assistance is pulled. What a mess. 

The devil is in the details here. Just accurate enough to be absolutely terrifying. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people's wildest encounters with rich kid syndrome. Some folks walk around with the kind of delusional entitlement that just stops you in your tracks. 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the strangest stuff people ever did for money. Money drives people to do some truly bizarre stuff. 

Sounds like there could be quite a bit of selfish entitlement at play in this relationship, as it has been described. The guy offered to fund his girlfriend's living requirements, so that she could work on paying off her debt as soon as possible. However, she decided to take this and basically use those privileges to continue living in whatever way suited her fancy. 

And most importantly, not in the way that she agreed upon with her partner. Money is a tricky thing, and it looks like there's one person who is potentially leeching off the other person, through being strategically deceptive. Maybe this relationship isn't meant to be. Who knows? 

Twitter users that are "middle-aged" are breaking out their most inspirational stories, when it comes to enjoying big breaks. Some people are just born late bloomers. You never know what kind of wild successes might yet wait for you around the corner. 

Twitter user @RobinWigg shared a viral thread about one very bizarre Norwegian TV program. We're talking about a situation where pro stock-pickers were pitted against an astrologist, beauty bloggers, and literal defecating cows. If that isn't the peak of entertainment I don't know what is? Naturally, the professionals were unsettled by their competition. Can't imagine how unsettled they were when they learned that Gullros was a total stock-picking wizard. 

Nothing melts our icy hearts like a fact checker getting fact checked themselves. When it comes to online squabbles, people have a tendency to approach the situations like bulls in a china shop, and often throw out all kinds of BS, cause they feel that overwhelming desire to be the most right person in the room. And sometimes that BS is misleading information they haven't even bothered to verify before trying to pass it off as the ultimate truth. 

A self-proclaimed concierge for the rich and "super rich" took to Reddit to share some of his juiciest stories from his time spent working the job. Whether it's witnessing the super rich get away with all kinds of ridiculous depravity, or enjoying the benefits of insanely large tips....you definitely end up seeing some things. 

Twitter users are sharing the strangest things they'v ever done for money. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. If you're really in a tight bind with the finances, things can get real wild.
