    I'm somewhere between 16 and 20 grand in the hole, my job is a joke, and I hold myself together on a wweb of loose lies and appearancces. I'm about ready to either sell out and become a trades person, leave my relationship and live in the woods, or head home, and just sob for a few weeks.

    I serriously have nothing left, aside from my healthm, and a detriorating mental state. Hooray.

    Hey Brother. I had no debt and fourteen thousand dollars in the bank eight months ago. I had a great job, and a beautiful woman in Long Island NY. My biological mother who I only met twice in my life is sick from Hep c,e. She never gave up heroin. Well she starts chemo and wants me to be there. I go next thing you know I am $38,000.00 in debt. My girlfriend and I split up I lost my place in NY and my job. It was a shit roll brother. I had to eat it. Now with my shit job I barely cover the bills. It is getting old. I am thinking on going to canada and starting over. But it would be a copout and that is hard to deal with. I know I can pull out just got to get mentally focused. Unless some beautiful person has a place in canada for me to come to.LOL.

    Well I hear you brother and shit man youll get it straight just hard sometimes.

    On top of that My ex gf wants to get back together after jamming on me in some hard times. How could I ever trust her again. We were together for four years. You think you know somebody? ski a great winter

    Damn, that's rough. I'd offer a place, but not sure i have one of my own. Sucks when life catches up and runs you over eh? I'm in University right now studying, and the fact is I used to be a painter and a welder, and going from making 600$ a week to ... 95 god thaat's a kick in the pants.

    As for thje realtiopnship, yeah it's bneeen over for a yea,r but I've been top stupid to move on. I know the momeny I do,l I'm living in a Garage.

    the trade person thing isnt to bad, just find a trade you dont mind doing. lot of guys in diferent trades make over 70G a years.


    anywasy as it stands I'm about $105 grand in the hole, but thats just part living expenses, mostly mortgage. beats the hell out of renting though.

    The reason a trade is selling out is because I hhave the drwam, and then there's reality. Reality says go trade, and work a job you don;t realy enjoy. The dream says study psychology and help council youth.

    I could be making 50k a year in 2 years time if I went back to welding. nore if I wennt up north. Fuckit. maybe I should just trade for 2-3 years b anke everything. live ina trailer, and then buy a house and study. Not how i realy want to spendd the next two years.

    But realy employment isn;t my main problem.

    Destro... hang in there man!

    I just recently lost prety much everything I had lived with and by for many years - and started over from almost nothing at all. You know, it was a thrill, I've neer been happier in my life. Freedom.

    If there is a trade you can do or learn to do, go for it. You can get jobs in rather inhospitable places that pay FORTUNES. I knew a guy who worked in mines in Australia, he worked 6 months or less per year and made enough to retire several times over in 2 years. Another guy worked on pipelines in Alaska. Made over 100K in a summer job.

    I'm not saying it is easy, but you can make it, and when you stock pile a bunch of cash, sit back and enjoy.

    Sometimes a "catastophy" in life can be turned into a real great thing.
