I know a lot of people don't like me. A lot of it is a group or two, and I will admit I hate when people waste my time when it comes to dealing, and I'm not afraid to voice my opinion, through PM's, or on threads. I have many opinions, and I apologize if I offend anyone, and I wish I could shut my big mouth so I didn't have "haters". But lately, I've been feeling a lot of stress, and been taking it out on some members, more then usual, and I apologize.
Simply put, since I graduated in 2008 from high school, I haven't had a living situation. I've stayed with friends, distant family, sometimes mom (hard too though) and in the summer, I spend about 2-3 nights a week sleeping in my car. It isn't a big issue, as I am about 3 semesters away from graduating college with a very good degree. However, for the first time since this started, I ran out of options, and in 3 weeks, will lose my car. This means I will probably have no where to put my things (I have a computer, printer, cards, TV, and a few clothes). My buddy that I am staying with now, is moving to Colorado, and I just ran out of money to pay my car payment. I've tried selling cards to keep some incoming coming until September (when I will take a huge student loan to pay my bills and get an apartment) but I just ran out. My only source of income was selling cards (eBay mostly) but once I got banned on eBay for a 4.7 DSR, I was screwed. I've applied at jobs, helping my LCS sell his stuff, just hoping something saves me, but who knows. I really do not mind sharing my personal issue haha, but it's why I am stressed out, especially when a deal doesn't work out, because every deal helps a little. So I hope people can understand when I get snappy, and to just lay off a little, it would be really appreciated, and I hope to get my money/living situation figured out, so I can enjoy the hobby like I use too. Thank you. |

Hey bro, I have a few comments.
#1 I hope the people that hate on you (NOT ME, I DON'T HATE ANYONE ON BO) don't get to you too personally. #2 I personally know how hard it is trying to get income and going to college, (I recently graduated in December) but keep fighting. #3 Could you explain how exactly you were BANNED from ebay??? I find this a bit weird since I have a DSR of about 4.6 - 4.7 and I'm still allowed. #4 Good luck with everything, these truly are tough times.

Wishing you the best of luck! I can't imagine what you are going through but I certainly know the feeling of huge student debt. My mother, bless her heart, refers to mine as "crippling". Shoot me a PM if you feel the need to vent further.

I appreciate it, I tried to keep my debts small, but I'd rather pay a huge debt but live a normal lifestyle at 21 then run around haha. It's worth it in the long run. |

Good luck. I was lucky this year and didn't have to have much for student loans thanks to scholarships but a lot of those were one year scholarships so the next 3 years won't be too fun for me

Hey dude, remember that you are young and can do anything you want to do, period.
I felt this way back in 2008.. Actually for like 3 years leading up to that, working a dead end job, couldnt pay bills on time, driving a POS with a failing tranny, getting F'd over by people left and right. One day I decided the bull shi# was about to stop. I packed my car (one that actually barely ran) with what I had, grabbed my girlfriend and left for good. We went from Minnesota to California with no idea what we were gonna do, but the idea of a better life was enough to make the gamble worth it. Since that day I left, my feelings toward life in general have increased so much. It was the most refreshing thing I ever did, and I will never regret it till the day I die. Point of this long story, take huge risks and reap huge rewards. You only live 1 time. You do not want to look back and regret NOT taking a chance. Find out what your dream is and roll the dice. |

Keep fighting through everything. IT really seems like you have a great attitude considering all the things you are fighting through. You will be rewarded in the end.

I like reading your posts, Nino. You're definately one of the best around here, buying, selling, trading, and even just talking about the hobby. I hope everything works out for the best with you, and if possible, you are still able to stay around here. Obviously, life comes first, and this is all just a hobby, but like I said, you are one of the best here. Keep on going, and do what you need to do, post what you want to post, to keep all the BS out of your head. Nobody here is going to tell what you can and can't post, so don't apologize for that.
Best of luck, brotha!

There is NOTHING wrong with being humbled in life. Some of us went through some VERY tough times to become the man (or woman in BJ woman's case) we've become.
If you lose the car, BFD. You have a degree coming up, and that alone should get you a starting point in life you've earned. It's life's challenges that make it so great IMO. You only get out of life, what you put in (unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth) I've earned everything I have, and I am extremely proud of that. Nothing was given to me. You just got to have goals, and put the picture on the bigger prize. It will all work itself out.

Keep it pimpin brother. I slept in my car too for some dark days so the beauty is there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
Try panhandling haaa. Just Kidding. One way to make $ is to ask on campus if people need things done for them like washing clothes or shining shoes & even teachers. You'd be surprised how much money you can make doing that. Just a thought. I did it while in basic training in the military & you wouldn't believe how much $ I made.
