Keep talking, because you reveal a lot more about the real story every time you do.

7 years for an undergrad? Wow. Why part time, not full time?

And damn near every law school has scholarships for hard luck cases, and given your stories, the only people with harder luck than you are 3rd world dirt farmers. I'd think you'd definitely hit all the financial check boxes for scholarships, so why no free money?

Beyond scholarships, attorneys generally make much more than minimum wage, and I'd think even if you had to get more loans, the ROI would be substantial...assuming you did well and were motivated, that is.

7 years for undergrad, running away from law school and using cost as an excuse, can't find anywhere to live besides $500 to live in a single room in an alcoholic's flophouse, can only earn either a) minimum wage or b) $40k annual from home business since you always say these are your only two choices for wage earning.

Is this where we take a brief interlude to hear about catastrophic illness that prevented work/school/life beyond Internet usage, and is also the reason you can only a) make minimum wage or b) make $40k annually with a home business?

I'm aware this all falls under "personal responsibility" and is likely as alien to you as an EBT card is to me, but have faith some of us handle our own business very well.

I do have faith that "some of us" handle our own business very well.

Just no faith that you're one of the "some of us."

If your opinions mattered you wouldn't live in Detoilet.

My hometown is solidly middle class to affluent, And there are a TON of payday lenders everywhere.

Liquor stores too...all of these Circle K stores in Arizona are nothing but glorified liquor stores that sell gas.

So when black folks make that complaint, I let it go in one ear and out the other.

Payday loans are not everywhere, they're banned in the state of Maryland which is good:
Maryland goes after payday lenders' banks to stop illegal loans - baltimoresun.com
If some are still operating in MD, they're illegal.
