how do you help someone who is a knucklhead? $$$
I'm going to write a book about my relatives.
Here are some titles I am thinking about:
"Every move I make is another mistake"
"If "A" is the right choice, I'll choose "b""
"Today I messed up my life by buying ___"
"Can't I just file bancruptcy and start my debt problem all over again?"
"Get finaced for a car with 4 repos on your record"
"Understanding the reasons I pay the minumum balance on my 12 credit cards"
"I can't afford gas and i don't have a job but I need to feel safe in my gas guzzling _____"
"Me make coffee at home for 20 cents a cup? Not when Starbuck can do it for $3.95."
"My daughter dropped out of school to take computer classes from home. You know she's a wiz on the computer with email, IM and myspace."
"Paying off your quick loan with another quick loan"
"I bought a new car with the equity in my house, of course i don't have equity so I refinaced for 140% of the value of my house."
"What's an ARM and why am I just being told I have one now, 3 years into my loan."
I sent this skit to a few of my relatives. I'm not allowed at Thanksgiving.

it is that simple..... wonder why people don't understand it....ahha
Sounds like my sister. She got divorced and now has to take care of the two kids and make enough money to have a nice life (I think she makes about $80K) but is always in debt. Constantly asking my parents for money and they have given her thousands. She has a nice gym membership with a regular personal trainer, gets home food delivery from a specialty grocer, regular facials, puts the kids in private school. Now she is asking my mom for money for a gunt tuck. I think she should be ashamed of herself.
Saw an Oprah show a couple weeks ago about the very topic with some trainwreck woman who spent her family in to oblivion. The guest was Suzy Orman and she said very directly into the camera, "I want everyone at home to listen carefully because we all know people like this. If you want to help DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY MONEY. THIS GOES FOR PARENTS TOO, DO NOT GIVE YOUR ADULT KIDS MONEY. They will never straighten out without consequences."

vader, what's a gunt?
A gunt is the lower belly area, sort of a cross between "gut" and, well, you know. Some women call it a "pooch".
This thread is like the good old days, Scot bitching about someone he knows who is a real mess. Keep em coming I say! I love these threads.

cut the bitch off.. she's plotting to off you.

plus funny enough my dad doesn't even have a will at age 68! I am not sure what the hell would happen at that point.... I think his current wife would take everything....
She needs to get in tight with the old man then have him type up a will to make her the queen somehow....









You love the plumpers
