tbh, I don't really get how people have the audacity to ask strangers to pay their rent for them. It's a regular, monthly payment and if you haven't got your finances together, that is your fault (generally speaking...

With the best budgeting skills, it would still take some time for a person working a minimum wage job to accumulate that "4 months' worth of expenses" that we're told to lay by as an emergency fund, and if an emergency overtakes them in the meantime--illness or injury, layoff, natural disaster--it could wipe out whatever savings they had. So I can see a basically responsible person suddenly having to ask for help to make rent. Not everybody can go home to live with their folks or find a second job at short notice.

But "I hate privileged people who don't understand what it's like to be poor"--coming from the OP's friend, that sounds disingenuous, because blowing $300 on an impulse purchase seems a lot more like the act of someone who has always been comfortably off and has never had to budget their money.

I think one of the problems is that while there are plenty of people who are in that situation of making minimum wage and having no back-ups, friends, family, safety nets, or other options to turn to...these usually aren't the people you see begging their followers for rent on Tumblr.

Granted, about half of the financial requests I see on Tumblr aren't a problem - they're either real emergencies (pet needs medical care, lost a job and just finished off the savings, etc) that are isolated incidents, and/or they're commission based (i.e. I need a new laptop, chip in and I'll make you fanart as soon as I get it).

But the other half of them are people who need help paying the rent or bills, yet seem to have enough money for things like cosplaying, merch, conventions, etc, and unfortunately the latter group seems to be growing, and at an increasingly rapid pace. I understand that it's not always feasible to just put your life on hold when you are trying to sort through your life circumstances and finances and stuff, but at the same time, priorities - making rent is a hell of a lot more important than a cosplay outfit or going to a convention.

That's true, and I had a roommate like that (so, you know, getting a roommate isn't always the better option). But what you're saying is a far cry from the anon above insisting that if you have money problems, it's almost always your fault. That's classist libertarian bullshit logic and I wish it would die off already.
