i think the funniest thing abt the arrow writersis that they truly think felicity ' learned to coupon and budget when she was 8 bc she had to buy groceries and pay the bills when her momworked bc donna was exhausted from double shifts - got a job as soon as she could to save for college and help with those bills -- started counting cards to pay for college - worked in the safest job in the world just so she would HAVE ONE at QC and thenat Tech Village even though she fucking hated it ' Smoakwould live in a fucking loft that technically belongs to a man she could not loathe morebe out of work while living in the fucking loftand not be working to save money to start Smoak Technologies so she won't have to owe as much money for a loanmoney is such a sore subject for people who grow up without it to the point that they literally work themselves to death but sure felicity'sjust vigilante-ing for free and not thinking about the future.tbd.i'll probably make this a Post but i just needed to vent in the tags lmao
