You sure have a lot of reasons for failure, but none of them seem to include "I screwed up.". I have never been sentenced court ordered money management but I doubt that the course taught that if you can't rent for that recommended 30% you should live on the street.

My "screw up" that put me in the class was I trusted a banker when he told me the $12,000 cashes check was good. The class, at my expense, and paying the cost and penalty got the IRS to release the license for my trucks in 3 months instead of the year the lawyer said it was likely to take. (The only checks I have bounced in my life where behind that deal

Even using your ridiculous assumption that a minimum wage worker can only work 40 hours, not a minute more, in a month

A very small percentage of min wage workers will get over 38 hrs a week. Most would be closer to 20 than 40.

a new BMW or even a car of any kind.

But in this area public transportation is very limited. If you don't put room in the budget for a car you won't keep the job.

If you bounced a check, why would the IRS be involved? That is a civil matter between you and whomever you wrote the check to. And the IRS doesn't put liens on vehicles or businesses or even your personal accounts without a long legal process. For a bounced check to result in IRS liens the check would have had to been payment for severely past due taxes and if that was the case, the problem wasn't so much the bounced check but that your taxes were years in arrears. So either a relatively small amount of money ($12,000) completely decimated your business and life for many months to years, or there is much more to the story.
