    • there exists programs which help pay for these things but they aren’t readily available/advertised
  • in order to gain access to [[financial services]] the user must enlist the help of their friends or resort to obtaining false documentation
• certain kinds of [[digital instruments]] are limited in their accessibility according to their classification
  • [[cashapp]]/[[venmo]] cards and other cards classified as "prepaid" don’t allow you to transfer money on sites that might be considered fiscally risky.
