Poor People Aren’t the Ones Who Need a Lecture on Fiscal Responsibility

Yesterday, Chase Bank took some heat and ultimately deleted a tweet in which they suggested poor people just need to stop wasting money on coffee and other frivolities. The Chase Bank twitter debacle was their idea of #MondayMotivation.

In the tweet, a fortunately fictional customer questions why their bank balance is so low, and the bank suggests they “make coffee at home,” “eat what’s already in the fridge,” and walk three blocks instead of taking a cab.
