Bandwidth Place 2

I forget what my mom does. I haven't talked to her in a while. When I moved out she was still mooching off of this guy who she has a mutual hatred and a four year old kid for.

My roommate Tammy (Angelica's mom) is doing some work at a hospital, I think a CNA, and going to college to be a surgical technician. So she's never home most of the time.

My other roommate, Angelica, is in Job Corps, so she's not home during the week. I guess she doesn't count.

I work at McDonald's for $7/hr, working a 35-40 hour week, so I make about as much as 2005. In the winter/spring I'm probably going to start college, and Angelica and I are finding a place of our own.

We have a pickup truck that's a couple of years old. It's not bad, and it gets us here and there. I ride a bike to and from work while I'm waiting to save up for a car and driving school/insurance. We live in a $500/mo trailer until next summer when Tammy pays off some debt and finishes college, and get free cable and have a tiny ass TV, but it doesn't matter much since we're never home anyway, and when we are we're playing accoustic/electic guitar or keyboards with eachother, doing drugs (unless Tammy's awake), spending time around eachother, or going places.

I'm really not sure what taxes are around here.

My mom's a nurse. Both my father and step-father are dead. I work installing security and fire alarms for the most part, but I also install access controles, CCTV, central vac and the like. I make $12 per hour now. My wife make $11 working initial admition in an Oncology/Hematology office.

lol

I just realized how depressed I can be sometimes, just because I never have any money. This is terrible, I need money badly.

It's really not hard to get a job.

Just go to McDonald's or something and ask for an application. When you turn it in, dress really nicely and ask to talk to a manager about scheduling an interview. When they interview you, dress nicely too. That's pretty much all I had to do.

Or deal drugs. But I get the vibe that you're not all that up to that.

that means more time away from what you want to do, and your school work

Its rough bro, but comming from a family that does just fine on 1/10 of PB's familys income.... its damn doable.

Which is why im getting my ass in college and getting an education, so I wont have to slave the rest of my live for fractions of what I could be makeing.

my mom stays at home, keeps the shit operational lol

my dad is a pc board designer, dont kno exactly how much he makes but its +50k

the house, he designed, got built for 400k, its value (and that of the whole area) has risen, my bro was sayin that my dad told him its a mil now...

wow, this helps put things into perspective, in my area i feel 'poor' cuz there are a lot of people here who can afford hella more than i can >< here i thought (and im probably right) its 150k or bust, but i guess it should be hella easier living in a less expensive area, probably like.. arizona :]

palm, you're not poor. You don't ride your bike to work and you have a collective income of over $10,000, even after taxes.

Palms rich actually, and the area... well unless your loaf of bread is 4 times what mine is then your pretty rich there bro.

Even if the cost of living where you are is 5 times more then it is where im living now, your parents still make alittle over 9 times what mine do.
