So I guess I'm not bondable today because I have old outstanding debts I refused to renounce through bankruptcy, but if I had done BK 15 years ago, I'd be bondable today.

Absolutely brilliant bonding reasoning there.

Default BeFair

Not all of us are trying to "ride" the system. I had my child young and I was married. I stopped at one because children are expensive. Now that I am a single mom, (though her dad pays child support faithfully) I was a full time student when I left him so it's hard. I can't wait to apply for section 8 so I can put a roof over my child's head. Yes, I will be using all the benefits I can get. It's put in place to help those who are working to be able to help themselves. Don't judge someone because they take advantage of help that is offered. There are some abusers but there are a lot who just need a little push to get to the next step.

It does work this way for some...

For others it becomes generational...

Having the safety net in place can also make it hard to leave...
