Call me crazy but if money simply appeared in my checking, savings, money market accounts, I sure as hell wouldn't spend it without knowing how it got there.
That's you. Other people think "better spend it quick before someone takes it". They figure it's theirs because it's there and don't think about "mistakes" because if it is a mistake then "tough luck".
If I was to have money show up in my account unexpectedly, I would spend it immediately! Actually, that just happened to me. I had a deposit of $250 show up a few weeks ago. Woohoo! Of course I am smart enough to figure out it was my ex-husband's garnished stimulus check. See what happens when you never pay your child support! And it was spent by the end of the day.
Why would a poor person save that money? That is not going to get them anything. They will just have a couple hundred dollars sitting in a bank collecting 3 cents a month in interest. That's really gonna do them some good.
Then when you get unexpected bill for $250 slap it on the CC at 20% interest right?
The problem is the kids still dont have skool supplies! They had a school supply drive here in Illinois, people donated to people who showed up in Escalades to get the free stuff! Total joke!

I've had my share of seeing what supposedly "poor" people value as well.
When they come better dressed then myself and my own son looking for free school supplies is when I said "enough" and stopped donating and giving my time to the schools.
Now I donate dog food to the animal shelters and canned food to the non-profit food pantries.
that is strange, my 1st stimulus check was signed by george bush, why are we hating on mr obama?
Apples and oranges my friend, apples and oranges.
