But here is my point... They can afford $50 a month for a cell phone, $100 for cable, they have a flat screen TV, Xbox, games..... But can't pay their heat during the winter? If you can't afford to pay the damn power bill you sell your TV, sell your Xbox, and cut off your cable.
Too many people live off of public assistance. Sorry, this should only be for six months. After that, you are your own.
I have a fifty year old friend who has a thirteen year old daughter, and her entire life she has been subsidized by her mother. She's fifty years old and has never owned a house. She finally has her own place, a crappy apartment, and even then her mother is paying half of her rent. WTF? At a certain point in time you need to stop making excuses and just do it. |
Sounds like my brother's ex-wife. She is 40 years old and her entire life her parents have helped her pay the bills. When she and my brother separated about 2 years ago she moved in with them. They got sick of her living there so they paid all of her bills and half her rent for the next year so she would move out.
She has overdrawn so many checking accounts she can't get a checking account without a co-signer. She lost the apartment she was only pay half rent on and is now sleeping on a friend's couch. Her car was repossessed so mom and dad went out and bought her another. At this point she will never be self-sufficiant
