I have a bad employment record because i've had a lot of jobs and i haven't stayed with them that long. I'm very lucky i have 2 jobs now. My dad and i had a talk last night and he told me him and my mom want to move next year and that made me nervous because now i don't know what i'm gonna do about getting my own place. I want a better paying job but i have a learning disability so i don't know what's gonna happen with me. Pray for me ya'll because i hope i don't end up on the streets.
I though u were a 'street dude', u know, checking the corp. every now or then in the cyber cafe's...
save up money and get your own spot man, there's actually nothing written in the constitution that states you have to live with your parents for the rest of eternity.
closest I was to being homeless was I used to hang out with this homeless girl a couple days a week. She knew everybody in town so we'd sleep on peoples couches n shit. she told me she lived in a tent in someones backyard for a while, or would sleep at the park.
didnt seem like a bad gig for her really
save up 20k and get a condo. I know one guy who said, "I am paying the same amount towards my condo and I own it that people spend towards their rent for a lesser place....I dont get it". The difference is he saved 20k to put down on it. Saving is the key in life Charles.
I live with my parents but I saved and bought a small semi detached that is being built starting in April next year.
yeah i've been homeless, i came home late and my mom wouldn't let me back in the house lol and i didn't wanna stay with my friends cause it was loud, smoke and very impersonal cause ppl just walk in and out and bitches that nobody wanted there are loud the whole time
so yeah, i slept in my car, i also eat at Hy-vee (free samples will hold you down)
cookies, pieces of swine, mmmmmm
then i walked around until everyone woke up and went to another friends house
LOL. Naw i'm not a street dude. I've never hung out in the streets and on the corner hustling because that's not me and plus i'm not wasting my life in jail or prison. Being homeless scares me because i could've been that 6 years ago. Finding a good job was very frustrating for me because i got tired of applying for jobs and nobody was calling me. Plus it was hard for me to get to a job to apply for it riding the bus because i couldn't afford a car. I wanted to kill myself during that point in my life because having no money and being unemployed drives me crazy. That's why i don't understand how homeless people continue to live everyday like they do because if i was homeless, i'd kill myself because i'd rather be dead than living on the streets and poor. Jobs aren't trying to hire homeless people unless it's a low paying job and i don't even think low paying jobs like fast food places, grocery stores, drug/pharmacy stores, Target, Walmart, janitorial/cleaning would hire homeless people. I know that a lot of homeless people have mental problems, drug users, alcoholics but some of them aren't like that. I believe the ones that aren't like that, if they had a place to stay, they should be able to get a job and they should get job training so they can get jobs that pay a high salary instead of a low salary because most people don't wanna work for a low salary.
I know ya'll don't believe me when i tell you i have a learning disability but i'm not lying about this because i've been doing research about it and i'm not doing research on purpose. I'm doing research about it because this is a serious problem for me and it took me a long time to figure out that something is wrong with me mentally because i kept losing jobs in the past and i had never applied for a high paying job because i'm afraid of good paying jobs because those jobs are challenging for me. I've never been good at having my brain challenged and figuring things out so that's why i've never had a good job. I want a good paying job but i'm afraid of applying for one because i'm afraid i'll get fired because of my lack of brain skills. Supervisors aren't gonna tell employees that are slow learners how to do their job over and over again because they feel like since they hired you and they trained you on what to do several times, you should get the hang of it and be able to do your job position on your own. Because if you can't figure out how to do your job, then they'll hire somebody else who can do the job.
My brother and i have been talking about going to see several psychiatrists to see what's wrong with me. If i do get diagnosed and i'm not able to work, then i'll probably be able to get a disability check even though i know it won't be enough money for me to take care of myself and that's what bothers me. I would still like to be able to keep my full time job i have now if i did get a disability check and there's a way i can work and get a disability check because i read about it when i got a letter from the social security company that says you have to make a certain amount of money at your job if you still wanna work and get a disability check. My social security letter i got said i would get a disability check that's $889 a month if i stopped working because of a disability.
two jobs and no bills = perfect opprotunity to save money
Visions Unseen, i have been saving my money so i can get my own place and i don't wanna live with my parents until i die. I never said i wanted to live with them forever. Unfortunately i don't make enough money at my 2 jobs to get my own place and i wanna live in a nice neighborhood. I don't wanna live in the ghetto and that would probably be the only place i could afford to live because of the low job salaries that i'm getting.
so how much money you got saved?
Chris's boss at his job said that you can lose money chasing women but you'll never lose women chasing money. I'm making this point to ya'll because i know a lot of men be chasing women and ya'll know women especially cute women don't want your ass if you have no money. So focus on getting a good job fellas and then approach women.
Where's the fucking ignornant black men? what role do they play in this, somethings wrong in this thread without them
does anybody actually read all of charlesjones's posts, just curious?
I lived on the streets for 4 months. Sleeping on park benches, sleeping in peoples backyards, stealing from supermarkets and shit. I lived it.
