This is why you don't use paypal. I thought it was common knowledge that they freeze your account for no reason and steal your money.

It is hard to believe you have made so very many bad life choices and now think that this some how justifies you not living on less than you make.

Let me help you here:
1.) You have what amounts to less for a 60hour a week job (no over time, just get 3 minimum wage jobs)

2.) You are making menial wages but drive 75mi a day to get to that job so

3a) you need to get a job locally that pays nothing or
3b) you live somewhere so devoid of people that there is no employment and your house is worthless to you.

4) you are paying on a house that you should be selling, short selling or simply not paying on.

5) there is no excuse for not having 1k in the bank; Give me your budget and I'll find you 1k over the course of a year.

6) you feel insulted that someone gave you the best advice ever "stop being broke!"

7) you have a car with bad mileage, but instead of selling it and getting something reasonable (say a 1990 Geo Prizm) you complain that it eats all of your money

8) you did not learn from your mistakes and still treat pay pal as a bank.

9) you lack any education when there is free money from the government for education! You could be a plumber or electrician less than 2 years time.

10) you are going to think I was 'attacking' or 'insulting' you here, when in fact you have simply failed at life thus far and people here are offering sage advice regarding how to win.

while most of this is good advice there one i disagree with.


7) you have a car with bad mileage, but instead of selling it and getting something reasonable (say a 1990 Geo Prizm) you complain that it eats all of your money

may not always be the best or most economical choice. Given the info we have we really can't say one way or the other. Such as is he still paying on it? how new is it? then there is problems with buying a used car (no way in hell would i buy a 90 prizm) but if the truck is old it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a newer small car (UNLESS he really needs the truck..wich is doubtful)

You are right, good general advice regarding vehicles is hard to give... I would just say this: if you want to destroy your life time net worth then you should be in car debt.

As for the car I suggested: I was being sillly. A man of my height and girth wouldn't fit in one.

all of this might just be the absolute dumbest thing i have ever read. i am not kidding. contradictory, snobbish, AND ignorant. there must be some sort of achievement in that i guess? yikes...

life doesnt usually hit people until they are 15 or so. it appears you have a few more years to go but dont worry, or should i say worry, because life will find you. going by your statements, you believe the MILLIONS of people that lost their homes during this recession were ALL uneducated?

please. re-read what you just told me in 20 years. like i said, life will get to you unless you are extremely lucky. you will not believe what you just wrote.

and i just have to point out your "fail" #9. first of all, nobody can start from scratch and be a competent electrician in two years. neither plumber. second, i am an electrician. been with the IBEW for 10 years, with 4 years of school under my belt across two different classifications. unless i am something else like you say....

like i said, life is life. there are things that are called 'fucked up'. my situation would be one of those. youll learn...

Why not move somewhere that your skill set is in demand or retool if no one wants you at more than minimum wage?

People justify their poor life choices and ignore good advice because they can't cope with the fact that they have been so wrong for so long; I hope you realize that you are not immune to this.

Stop looking out the window for blame and start looking in the mirror for a solution.

Go get a 2 year in radiology or nursing and make 30k+ in a field that will be in demand for the rest of your life.

i really hope you keep debating me on this. your posts define the slang "digging yourself a hole"

my answer to your latest greatest question is that my family lives in the area. i am already working as far away as i can. rebuttle?

What about your family's location justifies you not following the good advice you have been given?

Not debating: Just wondering why you refuse to take responsibility for the consequences of the decisions you make in life?

Yeah plus time with your Family won't last forever. So you better enjoy the time you have.

Look if Wirednuts is fine with his life. Then let him make his own choices. He's not doing that bad. He has money to get online. He has a roof over his head & food.

He'll live. So let him make his own choices. It's his life.

That in no way explains why you refuse to take responsibility for your situation. Life didn't screw you: you have chosen to live beyond your means and not fix the problem, you only have your own choices to blame for the consequences you are facing.

Being offended when you are called on it is childish.

calling someone out with absolutely no clue on their situation is disrespectful.

by your account, life never screws anyone. life is completely fair as long as you let it be. my my, what a wonderful world you live in. wish we all could be there.

wise words. it certainly could be worse. i have done everything i can to sustain my life without help, and so far i have done so for 12 years.

and as far as my truck goes, i DID buy a gas saving vehicle at the time when i bought it. i couldve bought a full size, but i wanted to save on gas. nobody back then couldve known gas would have shot up 3x in just two years, and all cars getting 20mpg would be considered gas guzzlers.

and im not selling it now. im waiting to find a couple-year old ford ecoboost truck. but they are new this year, so i am at least 24 months away from that happening. and no, i cant buy a pos hatchback. i need a truck.

1. Dont use paypal as a bank
2. This is the fourth time by your accounts this has happened to you and you still use paypal? Major fail.
3. Dont live on your last penny.

1.) You have what amounts to less for a 60hour a week job (no over time, just get 3 minimum wage jobs)
