Heh. Yeah, my child was just born into a decent amount of…privilege

It just boggles my mind…I’m not particularly smart, or even hard-working for that matter (I work hard to be sure, but not that hard), but all it took was just making non-shitty financial decisions. Not even good ones; just non-shitty.

Same here.  Not a genius but very hard working.  I was up at 0424 this morning.  Got a 100$ load of firewood to deliver then I will go to Aldi and get groceries.  I will make a huge cedar plank salmon for my family on the smoker and have a beer with my supper and a glass of wine wine momma after.  

Save and don't spend money on stupid shit.  It really isn't a hard mindset to get in to.

The next and only time people will “fail” in this country is when it collapses.

UBI is already here in many forms of welfare, socialism is already engrained in parts of society, a firm grip is next.

Gotta wonder how badly she was tipped with her trade?

On a two year lease, every $1k down will drop your payment approx $38 to $42. Conversely, every $1k in negative equity will raise your payment the same amount.

But let's face it: A buyer who relies on a gov program to subsidize a vehicle payment isn't going to have a down payment. The dealer undoubtedly rolled in the first payment and waived the security deposit.

When I was in the business, we called people like that "scuds".

Because you never knew where their credit was going to land.

This massive welfare program should have never been allowed to start. It's all part of the plan to make half the country into little democrat voters who are desperately dependent on .gov handouts for their very existence.

How about this. The Federal Gov stops taking our money, and we stop taking their handouts altogether. Thats the way it was before WW I and the USA was just fine. The Federal Income Tax was supposed to be temporary. See how that worked out.

Centralized gov is like an egg sucking dog. It can never be taught to do otherwise.

Lincoln caused this. Before Lincoln, the states had no reason to fear the Federal gov, they were largely independent and self governing. Prove me wrong.

HAHAHAHAhahahaha no it won't. They'll rob our retirement accounts, stock/brokerage accounts and savings accounts before they cut off the tap. By the time they cut it off, we'll be even poorer than the people they are cutting off, and we'll be begging them to put their dick back in.

The middle class can't exist in order for socialism to fully take hold. They've done a phenomenal job breaking it down so far.

As for the OP: If she can't afford it without a tax handout, she can't afford it. Guess she should have saved up those checks and bought a $1000 beater.

She is who they are trying to use to tug heartstrings. If they showed a couple 35 year olds who figured on this money never stopping plus never having to pay their student loans again to make their financial situations there would be less sympathy.

Her previous car was repo'd and she couldn't qualify to finance a down payment on a free lunch.
Sub prime lenders work around the disqualifier by 'leasing'.

Bitches like that will spread their legs and suck dicks just to get approved for something to drive.
They will make the payments until they wreck the car or their boyfriend/pimp takes off with it.
All payments are made in-house.
Rinse and repeat.

Next one will be a weekly payment and 2 blowjobs, one for the sub prime manager and the other for the lot guy every Friday afternoon.

Watch Judge Judy if you want the answer to that. An overwhelming number of the "litigants" (of all races) have Government Handouts as their sole source of income. Most of them can't even explain what their supposed "disability" is.

But, she doesn't have the credit, which is why her payment is $400+.

So where is Gramps? Is she the ''I am woman, hear me roar'' type that decided she didn't need a man in her life and cut him loose? [those types seem to be a taker of tax dollars and not givers] Never any really ''hard'' questions are ever asked of these people I should feel sympathy for. And the reason for that is if people learned the why's of why she is on the dole, they wouldn't like it. That ''single'' woman pity strikes again. Also wonder where her parents are and the parents of the sperm donor are. You'd think an entire family could financially help raise a couple of kids. [if anyone in that extended family gave a shit]

I see she didn't pass up on her $100 dye and style hair job though........................ There is ALWAYS money for that.

I'd bet those kids get 2-3 squares a day at school free. No one ever thinks about all the other free stuff these people get that frees up other welfare dollars. Only problem is that they are NOT free.

Fuck her and her ilk.

I'm so tired of these fucks acting like she deserves taxpayer money because her fuckup kid is a breeder. She should sue the scumbag mother for child support.

Here I am, getting paid 17.25 an hour in the trades working 10 hour days, driving a used car and paying half of her car payment a WEEK in taxes. My wife drives my old truck that has over 200k miles on it, and last year when we got that "stimmy" money you know what I did? I saved it until I found another used car I could use to get to work and paid in cash.

She's living in a house, I'm living in a 1930's apartment complex, she's driving a new car and my car wasn't even made this decade. I have NO sympathy for her.  None.

We can't have kids because it would be irresponsible to have them when we are barely in the "middle class" with our combined incomes.

I have nothing left to give for these fucks. Nothing. They can starve and enjoy their old age in squalor for all I care. She should have raised a daughter that can figure out how to swallow a pill daily.

Have you ever seen the spelling and writing of the typical college graduate in the past 10-15 years? To say it's atrocious is understating the problem a significant amount. The only way most get by is by spellcheck or some other correction program. I'd bet an eighth grader 100 years ago could spell and write at a far higher level then most graduates that hold a bachelors or higher degree of today.
