Poor Paranoid Bill........

Wow Bill, I actually thought you received money from the govt. So all you get is food stamps? So what do you do? Live with mommy and daddy from what I remember, but maybe I'm wrong. Is it just a cardboard house with a computer inside? I think there are other reasons you don't have kids besides your reference to your wife being "shortsided". She probably has a very good reason to have them...it's pretty obvious when one learns about you on here. Why would she want to leave them with a bum having no job and no ambition?...now that's a role model

One thing, I never said I was smarter than you..do you think I'm implying that or something?. Do you feel threatened when I reply in you posts? So you never finished 11th grade, doesn't mean a thing to me. One thing it does say though is that your claim to having spent thousands on college (made in another post, I'll find it if you like, I'm sure you'll deny it) is probably crap. Every college I can think of doesn't accept people who didn't finish highschool, but who knows. Just like everyone else, the more I read your posts, the more obvious it becomes that you are a total loser.

The only thing owed to a deadbeat like you is a swift kick in the ass. The system owes you nothing. Oh sure it gives you something and you do follow by the rules, but does that make it right? Lazy ass people only make this place worse. It would be so nice if you would just take your laziness somewhere else and stop being a leach. Our country doesn't need you and your lazy ass.

alright, I'm out of here for good,
don't forget to post again, we all know you need the last word to feel right, it's OK, I understand
maybe add something like this in the last post of this thread: "the opposition grows silent", then you can feel like you've won.

Anybody do the math on this? Is it possible to live comfortably on an $18 hour job and $1650 month in RENT? Considering utilities if they aren't included. Car insurance... an averaged monthly car payment... repair costs on the Fiero... costs for gas... oh and California state and federal taxes. Would he have enough to save for the future, maybe enough for a down payment on a home and later retirement?

That figure he's making about 36k yr before taxes and paying about $20k of that in rent alone.

say he brings home 12.5k yr after taxes?

He spends $15 gas wk $780yr = $11,620
Car insurance say $1k yr = $10,620
Car and maybe other payments $300 mo = 3600yr = $7,020
Groceries & beer = $100 wk = 5200yr = $1,820
Fiero repair maintenance costs ave $50mo = 600yr = $1,220

I could go further but at this point Bill will have $23.46 a week to spare! Whooopieee!

Better save it to get a better edmuducation you lazy bum.

Man, that's pushing it just a WEE bit. A single person can rent a decent place for less than half that....maybe even a third of that and it will still be a decent place. I've played the renting game quite a bit and it's possible.

I suppose if he had been offered a $36 hour job the statement would have been "is it possible to live comfortably on a $36 hour job at $3300 month in RENT?"
excuses, excuses, excuses

About 4 years ago I was making roughly $35000 yearly (close to the $18 hour job). I remember I had 2 cars, 1 van, rented a decent sized house (2500 sq ft.), paid my own utilities, auto insurance, groceries, blah, blah...all my own living expenses, took care of 2 dogs, vet visits, blah blah. I was saving putting roughly $300 per month into savings at the time (average for 1999 to 2000, I checked my register today when I went home for lunch), not to mention 6% of my salary into a 401k. I did it on $18 an hour and lived very comfortably.

then who would rent the rest of the house?

Bill would drive anyone krazy!

i say take the job and live in a small apartment for 800 bucks.

An idiot who knows how to push the buttons of ego maniacs. The frikin swelled heads in this room are enough to make me barf my guts out for lack of a better word.

Naw............I could live with him.
I ENJOY spirited opinions!
Of course, I don't have to agree with all of them to support his right to speak them!
But i'm lucky, to be open-minded enough, to understand the WORDS behind the words.
I think he would make a VERY interesting room mate!
