I got my haircut after work today, and while I was waiting for my hair appointment, I was in my car. I was parked in the small strip mall where my hair salon is, and tonight I had to park in front of the cash advance/check cashing joint. The check cashing joint was packed, with about a dozen people standing in line.
Flash forward to a few hours later. I was on my way home from a funeral home visit, and stopped at Little Caesar's for a cheap $5 Hot and Ready pizza. Once again, I was parked in front of yet another check cashing/payday advance joint. And once again, this place was also packed.
It was a humbling experience. I was thankful that I was in a situation where I didn't have to resort to those tactics. But we all do what we have to do to get the bills paid. I'm just thankful I haven't had to go that route.
