Start by whittling down high interest debts

Whittling down

So they know it's nothing close to what people need.

Edit: that article is fucking insane. Absolutely insane.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, however, you likely want to strive to have even more set aside — up to 12 months' worth of living expenses — in case your income suddenly runs dry.

THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED YOU FUCKASS

I can't. Just. Buying stocks is worthless because it's such a small amount of money, but maybe put it towards YOUR RETIREMENT? $600? $600 towards your child's college fund?

This fucking article wants you to pay down your debt, add to your emergency fund, and get ready for your retirement. With $600. People are trying to keep from living on the streets and begging for food, and they're explaining how to make $600 work for you.
