The allure of buying yourself a load of unnecessary treats is never more tempting than in that stingy week before you get paid. After all, you do need to be looking and feeling your best to enjoy those three whole glorious days before you go back to feeling broke again. There are many of us out there who struggle with proper money management, and unfortunately this means that there are also plenty of schemers out there who are all too ready to exploit that when we're in a time of need.
A recent Twitter thread has highlighted this despicable plight by calling out an ad plastered on the side of a bus stop. The poster promises that with the help of a payday loan, we shouldn't even have to question whether we deserve that extra order of takeout.
Unsurprisingly, this left many Twitter users unimpressed. Needless to say, even the financially unsavvy among us can guess that this isn't just an irresponsible proposition, it's downright shameful.
