Psh you are fatter and look older than me and are more drunken lol

Tuition alone costs $12,000 a year for even the cheapest colleges. And seriously you expect every 18 year old bound for college to automatically be this thrifty, this financially smart?! What *** drugs are you on?
Haven't read all the pages through yet, but wanted to interject here. College loans are very easy to get(and if you try hard enough, you can get some good scholarships too), and college will pay you back ten fold. Yes, you may have to pay off your loans(I'm still paying off mine), but at least I didn't start off a career at minimum wage(though I've worked plenty of minimum wage jobs throughout college). And better yet, I'm not locked into a minimum wage job, because I made the choice to get an education instead of trying to strongarm my way through life without one.

Here's another thing that makes no sense... Common sense. You would think because its called "common sense", that it would be common among the masses. But its not, its more like a natural lotto. Some win it, others go through life wondering why they cant do much in life.
They should rename it "Natural Selection Sense", just to be a little more clear about it.

Agreed 100%. If you can't support a child without accepting help from the government, don't have one. Get your life in order before you start making a new life. You're just perpetuating the same struggles, if not worse struggles on your children, and that's the most selfish thing you could possibly do.

Plus they can take care of me when I get old.

"I don't gamble.. I play poker." I can make 30 bucks into 300 bucks easy with no limit hold'em.
part of the game is knowing when to strike :P
that being said I can also lose that 300 bucks pretty easy on a bad beat.
still gambling...just with a more measurable amount of skill.

Same, I love playing Poker against friends and online. I haven't played it in a few years now though. Blackjack and Poker are incredibly fun and profitable if you don't have any other sharks at the table.

It's a difficult feeling to replicate being at a table after tripling or quadrupling up your money. Feels like straight up power.

*** right, makes you feel like a badass when you're on a roll, but the problem is I don't feel like ***when I'm in a spiral.

the casinos tend to serve free drinks to the people who are playing. So I'd just sit by a slot machine, pop a nickel in it, then call the waitress over for a drink. I would spend about 25 cents for 5 drinks that would be worth $22. I love gambling :P

You play @ card rooms? Before I bought a house I use to play pretty regular. Playing in a card room with legit players is the best way to play. I please with buddies just *** around it's fun but when people don't play seriously what would be dead money at any real table ends up getting lucky and then they think they deserve it.
I've won a few organized house tournaments they're really fun I wish I played more still =\

I worked on the shelves, got about £7.10 too. Hated the people I worked with though, incompetent plebs.
So, my friend has worked for a bank for a while, so he has seen a lot of shit. He tells me all the time about how people have gotten unemployment checks for years, as if it was another check to receive monthly. He's from a small town, so he knows some of these people. He knows that they take on odd-jobs that pay them under-the-table, as a way to get both unemployment and money for working. He knows that they also try to stay in a range so that they can still apply for foodstamps, which they then buy food just to sell for more cash.
So, this just pisses me off. I'm the type of person who likes to fuel my own anger to a subject, so I went browsing around the internet for stories of people doing shit like this.
The first place I check has this site. Read the very first comment afterwards:
yes i have a house and we pay 1600 for mortgage , and the others bills and they dont want to give us food stamp , by husband work in a temp job now because he lost his previous job , i have an illness and im taking ssi and i went to apply for f, stamps and they denied it , because we make a lot of money , but thet dont count , the water , the sewer, the phone , the cable the heat our personal expenses the insurance for both cars , groceries ect , i think they have to, change the way gov, its working , because we realy need a lilltehelp ..
I can only pray that this person is joking.. You can't have the internet, cable, phone, and TWO cars be factored into it as if they were all neccessary items for living. Of course they denied your damn food stamps! What is wrong with these people? Do they feel like they should be entitled the world for doing nothing?
