Like I said it sounds like you're getting ahead of things so you can bash people...I did not SAY I DIDN'T want to,I said it would take longer ( but it can be done). Better be careful or you could lose your brownie status you just won

Oh, but if mass transit is available, by all means the OP should utilize it. Hey, he's no different than the other riders on the bus!

Truth11 wake up to yourself! Time to get out of bed earlier and take that public transportation to work, even if it's part time minimum wage job.

Time to budget. If you can't afford car repairs, sell your car, you will have more money for public transportation and maybe even money to for the plumber.

Unexpected things come up for all people, this is where a budget helps. You have to live within your means which you and your other half appear not to be doing.

I like the poster where they said that they put $1 away in savings. Doesn't sound like much but once it builds up there is some money for the emergency stuff that comes up.

Time to wake up and take control of your life, your budget and your combined finances with your other half. Take control of your spending on non necessary things, come on spending money on fast food and your other half on weed...then complaining that you are too broke to get to work??

Most of the posters here were trying to assist you with suggestions to help you. And your replies...negative...defensive...not open to others suggestions.

Nope, no sympathy from me. Come back when you have found your own solution to get to work and let us know then!

I'm totally going to highjack this thread to lighten the mood.

I was riding the bus once, and there was a guy sitting in front of me touting the benefits of honey. He was like, "honey can give you the strength of 10 men and 10 women. Honey can give you the power of 10 horses!!" And he went on and on about how amazing honey was. Then he was quiet for a few minutes. Then I saw him literally chug a jar of honey like a frat boy chugs beer. lol

Nice way to justify your comments eh?...

Easy to tell people to do things you haven't or wouldn't do yourself...

Negative,defensive...I give what I get.
