Back when I still had a car all my money would go into keeping it running. Gas, parts, oil, insurance, it loving sucked and I hated having to put effort into getting where I needed to go. Mass transit is a lot better, I can just tune out and not worry about being liable if the vehicle gets in a wreck.

Take that example and apply it to consumer credit. Can’t buy X outright? Well we can loan you the money at a % rate per annum so you end up paying more for the same item that someone who has the money to buy it with cash and oh we have made certain items that are almost a requirement aka cars, smart phones so expensive that only a fraction of the population can buy cash and everyone else has to get it on credit. Oh and if the rich want credit well we give it to them at 0% interest anyway lol.

It's always been expensive to be poor. Fines and fees always represent a greater percentage of a poor person's wealth.

yup when you're poor, trying to pay bills is a nightmare even when you have the money to cover them when you have a steady income and direct deposit your wages into a no-fee checking account you can pay bills online without even thinking about it but when you're unbanked for whatever reason, every bill has extra predatory fees (wiring fees, check cashing fees, etc) and hoops to jump through when you're cash only, paying bills is slower and more laborious, which leads to late payments and even more fees!

one time my bank did the old "reorder the transactions to generate multiple overdrafts" trick to get me so overdrawn that by the time I could pay my power bill I had to do it with a cashier's check.

Trading naked options is dumb when you can just go so far out of the money and cover yourself for a buck you can still get hosed but there is a limit on how hosed.
