You have no idea how hard it is being the bread winner for 3 kids, 3 soon to be step kids, be facing a down grade, a displacement, maybe both, and have a DUI from 7 years ago on my record. I’m glad you escaped. But with all respect, P!ss Off bro.

Your food budget is our entire monthly spending requirement. Crazy lifestyle some people live.

Not sure where you are but in my state kids can do an associate's degree (essentially all of the lower end 101 courses and stuff like calculus 1-3, etc) at the local CC for $100/credit hour, it's around $6k for the two-year. Then transfer into the State system and get a 4-year. Total cost is around $20k-$25k not including room/board total for the combined BS/BA degree.


My dude I can feel the stress in this post through my computer.

Wind the clock. NO RASH MOVES. Get with your family and explain everything, lay it out on the table. Make a plan. Plan A, B, C, D, E and F. Think through it through logically as best you can.

$1,000 a week covers my kids, my girlfriend, her 3 kids, and our 6 dogs. My boys are athletes and eat 3 or 4lbs a meat a week and almost a dozen eggs a day.

I just called our realtor today, I think we are gonna list our home and just downsize our lifestyle so my kids can keep playing club sports. I’ll take the downgrade and just keep applying. Sucks to be going backwards but it is what it is.

Taking on someone else's 3 kids is any situation is stupid. In your situation just laughable. @FormerNK might just be right....

No way this is actually real lol

Furloughs are a big deal for many, no need to make a joke of it

I guess some people have more free time than others though

You’re a troll. Your story is either garbage or you’re the dumbest guy on the NK list, or any list for that matter. How many dogs do you have again????
