This sucks.

sjoecool1991 · 05-20-2008, 01:40 PM

Well, my dad cannot find a job, and the last severance check just came in, and my family wont be getting any money at all for at least 3 1/2 weeks.
That means we will barely even have enough money for food.

Please pray for me and my family.

**EAGAMES** · 05-20-2008, 01:47 PM

That sucks. I think a lot of us, including my family and I, are in the same situation.

Start a mystery envelope scam on ebay. Someone would at least pay 1000.

**sumzup** · 05-20-2008, 01:49 PM

Dayum that really sucks. I hope he gets a job soon...

It's times like these that I'm glad my parents have relatively stable jobs at a university.

**reuben_tate** · 05-20-2008, 01:52 PM

That totally sucks. I remember when my family went through times like that a few years ago.

welsh_girl · 05-20-2008, 02:41 PM

Owch. Thats pretty bad man.

Xx{Midday}xX · 05-20-2008, 02:57 PM

How do we make donations? 500$ might do something. 5 weeks of food or something like that.

**BigBoss37** · 05-20-2008, 03:01 PM

Pretty terrible man, you could always sell your computer or give up internet if things get bad.

**Psychotik** · 05-20-2008, 03:13 PM

Rob a bank. It seems to work.

XUioX · 05-20-2008, 03:16 PM

jokes are SO unnecessary at this moment.

I will pray and hope that things work out with you and your family.

When things get tough with me, i always believe something good will happen, and usually it works!

I feel bad about your situation

Oh no, I would not ask for donations.
Also, I forgot I have around 1800$ in the bank right now, that might be enough to pay for food an gas for 4 weeks.
Its not really food we are gonna have trouble on, its bills.

**sumzup** · 05-20-2008, 04:02 PM

Yeah, I was going to make a joke, but it would've been pretty tasteless.

Is there no other source of income for your family to support itself?

Unemployment payments, they wont start until June 12. 400$ a week.

welsh_girl · 05-20-2008, 05:01 PM

12th June ?
Why does it take so long ?

**Specforces** · 05-20-2008, 06:24 PM

Apply for welfare from the state, they will give you food stamps and you will be able to use that... or, if your father hasn't already used up the government funded unemployment that he's owed he can easily have that and make at least 400 dollars a week off of it. Also, you can help out by going out and finding a job that involves yard work or something, or you could try to get a job.

jugglinguy · 05-20-2008, 06:31 PM

Do some work around the neighborhood would be a good bet.

**Specforces** · 05-20-2008, 06:32 PM

Buy Ramen.

inflames07 · 05-20-2008, 06:44 PM

You can always work the corners or sell drugs.

**sumzup** · 05-20-2008, 06:47 PM

Sell stuff on eBay. It's actually pretty profitable, as long as you can get a steady supply of crap to sell.

**Flandre Scarlet** · 05-20-2008, 06:50 PM

I hope your family does well during this downtime that you'll be going through, I can understand completely how it feels. I live with just my brother and mother, and there's been times she hasn't had a job for months, and we've had to seriously ration everything. Just conserve supplies, money, and gas; the troubles will pass eventually. =/
