The Thread Formerly Known as The Rant!!

Yeah I can't support another family, especially with crazy spending habits.

[SAT 9,609]

They really need to get on public assistance. And section 8.

So, my down on his luck neighbor wanted to borrow 5k from me......

isn't this a bi-monthly event?

why isn't he selling access to his body, across the river? #RentAFriend !

[SAT 9,609]

The guy works, but he's making half of what he used to make.

Come on guy.....

He's not a bad guy. He lost his business due to the lease being up. And they didn't save for a day like this. So, he got a job, and is taking in half of what he used to make. His wife, spends like crazy.

Her mom is in the nursing home, she insists on being there 12 hours a day, she pays a baby sitter when they can't afford to. Very poor management of money.

I don't wanna chime in. If I lend them 5k, it won't go to the rent....

The sick thing is, they can get by if they'd just live the basic means. The Gumps make less, and they're fine.

[SAT 9,609]

I can't tell ya how many times I see Facebook pages full of vacations, outings, trips, etc......And then people try to cry poor and borrow money (that you'd never see again). Are people really that dense?

Who's going to put my kids through college? (Their rich Godfather )

ok, I'm being serious now.....

I'm disgusted by like that.

I'm redundant. But if you ever hit lotto. Change your name, throw away your phone, and bail......

but to be doubly-sick,

he should rent out rooms to fooks for cash,

and live somewhere else where the rent is 200/week. [like in South Dakota]

[SAT 9,609]

Rent in SD is high in case ya don't know......fracking.....

He has 4 mouths to feed. She needs to go to work, stop wasting money, clip coupons, apply for WIC, and public assistance, stop spending 600 a shot at the supermarket, stop buying the kids designer stuff. My kids wear her daughter's hand me downs......

My kids best dress is, well....it's Sarah Louise lol. But most of her stuff is just Gap stuff.

I get so frustrated when I see stuff like this. How can people be so stupid. I get a feeling of unease when I see this.....

he can't rent out rooms, they're a family of 5. And, it's not his house.

[SAT 9,609]

my daughter is trying to take over my bathroom.....

and she knows how to read what I just typed lmao......

and she's on my lap.....

What does he want the 5k for?

[SAT 9,609]

What does he want the 5k for?

He said he's behind in all the bills + rent. He said he's cashing in a CD, and that it's a loan for a few days. But I don't believe it. If he's actually doing that, then the bills can wait a few more days.

Now, every time I go to BJs, I allot a 30 dollar budget to buy them staples. Like Bagels, cold cuts, muffins, etc....

When we go out to eat, we take their kids. I know they need to get out.

Tomorrow, Tiff is treating the 13 year old to a facial for acne.

[Darnell 8,478]

to maintain his level of lifestyle. duh.

[SAT 9,609]

I remember when their youngest was born, she went out and spent about 5000 on baby stuff, to include one of those 2500 dollar strollers. I told you guys this.

So you guys can imagine, if he has to go to his neighbor. How much other debt does he have?

[Jacque67 7,328]

Oh dear. What a disaster.

Doesn't he have family to help him out.

Sounds like he needs to swallow his pride and learn simple budgeting/ remember his student days... Tough, but only short term, hopefully...
