Maybe the issue is not finding a way to get money, it's finding a way to get money without offending Anacardo's sensibilities/not being deemed worthwhile. Which is pretty hard to do. Unless you have a fairly expensive CAR TO SELL.

Okay, let me reveal just how stupid I really am.

I've made a $2000 down payment and four $320 monthly payments on this car. I imagine I'd get a couple of grand less than what I payed for the car, were I to go to the trouble and expense of selling it. Balance it all out and you end up with next to nothing, aside from not having to make the payment. I still need a car. How does this help me?

Wait, wait wait.

Hold on a second.

The fact that I don't talk about progress, who I've been sending resumes to / working contacts with, etc. etc. etc. - does that lead you all to believe that I've done literally nothing to find a job in Atlanta from East Texas besides sit here and bitch about having to do it in the first place? Because that would be kinda LOL.

Sorry 'Cardo, but didn't you tell me like two days ago you didn't have a resume? That was when I offered to MAKE ONE FOR YOU and APPLY TO JOBS ON YOUR BEHALF, both of which offers you ignored.

Cardo,

"I've made a $2000 down payment and four $320 monthly payments on this car."

Why did you purchase this car given your financial condition at the time?

Well, at the time, I was at my peak career earn and my then-current car, a 25-year-old Datsun, had just blown up in spectacular fashion. Seemed well within my means.

Cardo,

"Funny, I feel the exact same way about you."

Classic anacardo. A cute and clever little response. Great, good for you. Except I actually have a basis for my opinion.

If you don't mind I would like to know what your total bankroll was and what games you played. The one time we talked about poker I suggested you read GTAOT. Did you ever get around to it? I understand if you would rather not get into this here but just read the book before you ever play poker again k.

I have never had a car payment. I think there is no worse way to waste money. Just my opinion and I got a lot of nutty ones. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FFK is not some dame.
