    I’m not certain, either. I think some people are ignorant enough that they would take my statement as a personal insult, which it is absolutely not, in any way shape or form.

    It is not a character flaw for someone to not have enough money to handle unpredictable expenses. But it is naive and/or ignorant to consider yourself in “good financial position” if you’re not in good enough shape to afford necessary transportation related expenses like car repairs or acquiring a new vehicle when the old one dies.
