A mere 8 months ago you had over $15,000 in savings, but now you're broke? Something definitely smells fishy.

Are you on icq now?

Move in with your dad...or get a real job...or stop lending people money you cannot afford to lend them.

That's a long time ago for just 15,000.

Look, I wouldn't ever do this but last month I was promised 4k from one person and 1k from another which didn't happen and messed up my accounts and South Smoke didn't pay me the 1,100 that they owe me because they lied and said they never received my tax info. All of that all at once hurts...

If you can make 15,000 last 8 months with your whole family leeching off of you, then that's awesome. :winkwink:

Now I am

Already did all three..

All I can do is wish you good luck.

You can apply for foodstamps online and in many cases don't even need a face to face interview. That's a big relief and help until you can make money again. $200 a month for a single person with no income buys more food than you can eat.

If your rent isn't too high you can receive emergency aid to cover past rent once you've been served the eviction notice.

Here's some good advice on how to make money, from a filthy rich GFY playa.

You work at or own PornCMS?

Not just the 'golden days' apparently.

Sell your Mac and stop buying drugs.

I swear you were bragging about making six figures a year within two years, and doing well with WebCams. Now in this thread you say you haven't done well with WebCams and it seems like you never really made that much money.

If I'm mistaking you for someone else, I sincerely apologize, but something isn't right here. Were you lying then or are you lying now?

your dad sounds like he deserves to lose the house. it was paid for then he took out 50k and then 70k? and did what with it? talk about stupid and unresponsible (if true).

I used to have a high 5 figure bank acct but I'd rather not explain all of that. I'll have about 20k+ in a month or so but I'm just hurting temporarily and will pay back asap..

I just do small marketing jobs for PornCMS and promote it, I don't own it..

Also you're right, I'm going to quit smoking and see how that works out.

Yeah, he does deserve it... But he's family so it's hard..

With cams? I mostly make money with PPS paysite signups and selling traffic..

From a financial perspective, you're supposed to have 6 months income saved up. So, if just took the $15,000 that is $2,500/month. $2,500/month in terms of yearly income is around $40k/year (with taxes factored in).

Now a lot of people making $40k/year do not have 6 months income saved up. To be making that much and have that much saved up means you're REALLY ontop of your financials and are smart+conservative with your money.

So, you were either
A) Extremely smart with your financials and money
B) Making way more than $40k/year
C) You actually have the worst luck known to man
D) You're simply lying

If it's A or B, then you have the means to survive. You have skills to have been making that much, and you probably have things around you can pawn or sell. If you're in hard times then you have to live like you're in hard times. You can't be driving around your Mercedes asking for help on the car & insurance payments.

If it was C, then oh well get a new job. If you were making as much as you say you were. Then just take a pay cut finding another job. For someone supposedly of that caliber it should be a walk in the park getting a job.

But I think it's D, because I don't know man. You've posted that you were making $90/hour? That's 180k+/year. You shouldn't be asking for hand outs if that is the case. That is top 2-3% of the population in this country. No one with the skills/ability to make that much money needs a handout. Sounds to me like you were just a typical "gfy baller" like we've seen over the years.

Bullshit. Anyone who would have $20k in a month or so would either have the money to make it until then, or be able to get a temporary loan until then.

You are so full of shit.

Dude is begging for money, but now he'll have $20k in a month or so. What a fucking piece of shit.

As sad as it is your problem is your family. Get rid of them.

Off them and sell their organs or something...

Colmike7 contact me on ICQ 266*942*896

You don't have to explain anything to anyone, but one thing I wondered, if this is legit, what's your brother doing to help? Sounds like nothing.

You seem like an okay guy, but something about this doesn't sound right.

I find it very hard to believe someone genuinely pulling in $95k/year (probably better than most here) would bother asking for $2k, so if it was all BS, and you're just flat broke, then anyone who who lends you the money is unlikely to see it again.

I'm sure you'd want to pay it back, but wanting to and being able to do so are two different things.

Selling family organs is a huge mistake Roald. They are the best possibility for a genetic match if you later need organs. Harvesting for storage is a much better bet long term. ;)

hm good point...

Sell your ass on the streets!!!!

Looks like we have a buyer.

That's why explaining this is so hard because HE's the huge problem in all of this but I don't want to get into all of that and why...

It seems like people are mad at me now, so forget I asked, I'll figure something out.

$10 and we have a deal! my dog can use some exercise :thumbsup

/joking

$25

I'm just surprised by the people here admitting that they are broke as well. A lot of the people admitting it are very vocal on this forum.

While he does indeed talk about himself and his earning power in some of those posts, they are more indicative of someone who is grounded and someone who maintains the positive outlook of an optimist (an endangered species on GFY) than they are of someone who is trying to gloat or brag or do anything like that. He does not show off and he does display any of the typical "African American Wealthy' tendencies that seem to impress a large portion of those who post on GFY. Not only that, but it seems like he often goes out of his way to help that one guy who always posts the stupid questions. That's pretty much charity work. He's a good guy.

Well, whatever the situation, good luck.

I agree, he seems like a good guy. This thread just seemed strange when I recalled him as someone who (credibly at the time) talked about how well he was doing. Also, before we elevate him to Sainthood, he hasn't been above taking shots at Paul Markham over the latter's relative success.

Very true.

A self proclaimed SEO guru panhandling for $1k.

Sounds legit.

lol, I've been messing with Paul since before I was on GFY.. It's all in fun and I never really 'abuse' him, just business old people jokes.. :upsidedow

I can pay back pretty quick, but yeah I understand the skepticism

Or both? ;p


.

GFY should implement a new policy and ban fucktards like this.

That was more of a joke.. It's the most expensive part of a furniture blog network that I do and I'm not really expecting sales from it.

Nice chatting with you. Good luck turning things around.

It was part of a batch of blogs that I just imported after parsing product CSVs. Tables are where the sales are..
But I might as well make a sofa blog. Do kw research for 'sectional sofa' 'nice sofa' 'quality sofa' etc and tell me it's not worth trying since each sale is about $900 for me, plus more people buy furniture online than at stores..

I'm at work right now since I got a real job, btw..
