I have a choice - I can take an offer for a manager in training program at 16 dollars an hour for 1-3 months and move into a manager role that will pay a 45k-50k salary a year.

Wow. You really thought that out^^^^^

Good deal for you

I'd still go with the making more money option, even if you pay more taxes. You still have more in your pocket at the end of the year, and it will be easier to get a raise/jump jobs/move up to a new bracket to 60k (for instance) if you're already making 50k

Maybe put the extra 4k or whatever it is (I'm NOT doing the math ;) ) and put it in an IRA

A Housemate..

Having said that ^^^^ the things that piss me off about room mates are slutty ones; ones who drink to excess (or do drugs); and ones who are slobs.

In that order

A Housemate..

I've had room mates off and on through my whole life. In college, of course. But also throughout my adult life from time to time, including now.

In college, the biggest drawback was that my room mate was a sleaze and had guys over every night. I either couldn't go back to the room most nights and hung out in the student lounge...or I would wake up to find some new guy in the bed across the room

When I was in my early 20's, I bought my first house. 3 bedrooms; 2 bathrooms. Mortgage was $602 a month. I rented each of the bedrooms out for $300/mo. It worked well. We were all single working adults. I had a guy and a girl for a year and then the girl moved out and I got another female room mate. I would never have lived alone with 2 guys.

Then, we (my husb and I with our 4 kids) are trying to build up as much cash as possible to buy another house. So we took on room mates. We've had 2 sets of 2 now for a little over a year. The first couple of people were fine. This second set of people suck. We are closing on the new house in Feb., though, and they are not moving with us. Although we will most likely (once again) get two new room mates. Rent is so high in this area right now that it's pretty attractive making the passive income that is really not taxed from room mates. It pays over half the mortgage.

Not necessarily a Trumpster, just someone with a basic knowledge of the deep pockets that are had by the govt and it's well oiled machine

And I agree.

Hello, is there any life in this forum..

I used to come here all the time, both when this new help started back up and also when the old help was around. I don't so much anymore; seems like I was sort of an "outsider" here, so I come once every couple months

Other than that, I had a great Thanksgiving. Had planned it for just the six of us (husb., me and 4 kids) and the NIGHT BEFORE, ended up realizing there would be 16 people....

It all worked out wonderfully though :)

How was everyone else's TG?

Who thinks we need to do a Help Reunion...

Impressive, Jalex.

I've met 2 helpers and it was amazing. I've also met a couple others from online sites.

I vote Disney World. Everyone needs an excuse to go there ;)

jk. I know that would be pricey, but maybe it could be "tiered..." as in "do what parts of it you wanna do," but have times/places over a couple days' time period where we would have meeting spots....doesn't really have to be at Disney World.

If we decide on a place, everyone can decide on how much/how little they want to be involved, especially if we set it up for a 2-3 day stint to come and go as you please...in a hotel lobby...and from there, people can decide to go out to a restaurant together or to a bar together or to a room together.... :smirking_face: :sunglasses: :zippermouth_face:

once a black person said to me, you were born white, that's like winning the lottery, i thought about it and said to them, i didn't get the money.

He was being dismissive of your hardships. Some people can only see their own problems.

Historically in America, poor white folks have had more in common with poor black folks than with rich white folks, but nobody likes to talk about that. Better to keep us divided.

Let's talk about victim shaming.

Too common. I don't know one woman who hasn't suffered sexual abuse or harassment.

Every single woman I know has suffered abuse, not "just" harassment (but ALSO harassment). Abuse may not be (but could be) ****rape, but it is definite violation and/or pain. ie: rough fondling to try to get what "he" wants...

Every. single. One.

And, some have encountered violations more than once in their lives, depending on the types of lifestyles they led or the types of childhoods they led.

NOT to say that someone's lifestyle means it's okay to abuse her. Just saying that sometimes, in certain lifestyles, risk factors are higher.

I guess I take back my original statement. My 16 year old daughter has not been abused. But I am an extremely over protective parent...don't take that the wrong way...they (kids) still do all that they want to do...

Anyway, my daughter DID experience some things in public school. In 3rd grade, a boy put the bathroom pass on her desk and grabbed her arm and pulled her to the bathroom. Same boy a year later, along with a group of friends, continually pulled girls' pants down and put their hands up girls' shirts on the playground. There was one girl who was my daughter's friend. This girl was very well developed at an early age. This girl would receive notes in her desk/backpack, talking about the things that boys wanted to do to her. The girl would cry when she got the notes, which made my daughter very sad...and of course, all of that stuff had to then be explained to my daughter. And to my sons.

My kids were pulled out of school that year. For various reasons, but those incidents contributed to the decision.
