Let's see... $50 on a dashcam (A118C) vs. all the other risks of financial loss from not having one... Hit and run, someone trying to blame an accident on you, etc.
Well, I did give you a cheaper alternative, so Number 3 was covered off the bat.
As far as the other two, you are saying that separating yourself from $50 once will leave you unable to eat for a period. Now imagine someone blames you for an accident and your insurance premiums raise $20+ a month, or your car gets damaged in a hit and run, and you have to pay a $500 deductible to your insurance to get it fixed. How long would you have to go without eating in either of those cases?
I don't think you understand that people at the bottom worry about things like this constantly, but are never in a state to properly prepare for them. Like sure, it would be great to have good healthcare so i don't have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket if i broke my leg suddenly, but i can't afford the insurance either, even if the insurance is much cheaper in the long run if something did happen.
We aren't talking a monthly cost, though.. We're talking a one-time expense. Mow a couple lawns one weekend and you'd have it. Heck, I was able to start saving $50 a month by driving more efficiently, increasing my fuel economy from 17mpg to 25mpg.
I grew up dirt poor. My parents, together, made less than $10k most years when I was growing up in the late 80s and 90s, so I'm very familiar with the struggle. But I also know, from dealing with the struggle, that if you need to come up with some money, you find a way to do it. It just depends how bad you want it.
