<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1890744, member: 36230&quot;]It&#039;s like deja vu all over again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously, we&#039;ve been here before, and for the same reasons, yet here we are again. Why? As you&#039;ve been told many, my times before, with your present situation, you cannot have your cake and eat it too, so it&#039;s time to make a few surely difficult decisions and actually stick to them (this time). I won&#039;t even bother with the credit card issue because this should be a no-brainer; take the advice so many have so often given you. Do the same with the TV; you don&#039;t need it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Short of some sort of legal issue, there is absolutely no reason for an able-bodied 22 y/o man to burden his parents with having to drive him around, especially when he&#039;s owned a car for a few years now. As for a license, the last I knew one could get one at 16, so does this mean that for the last SIX years you, for whatever &quot;<i>reason</i>&quot;, could not be bothered to get one? A phone is somewhat understandable, but on the other hand, you live with your parents and cannot drive anywhere without them, so is it really necessary?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the coins, and as I&#039;ve told you before, you don&#039;t NEED to own a single one to enjoy your hobby. If you want to keep a few that are special to you, that&#039;s fine, but you&#039;ve sold off your collection before and now those coins are long forgotten, so surely you can do it again - whatever is going to get you out of debit; the sooner the better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps getting a better or second job would not be so difficult if you could legally drive, but whatever the reason, you must work with what you have, and clearly $500/mo isn&#039;t cutting it. You need to start making bog boy decisions and let go of the childish nonsense. You need to appreciate your job and do all you can to keep it instead of thinking you&#039;re being sexually harassed because you were asked to pick up a few boxes or calling OHSA over a damn paint can. You are not a manager or supervisor, so get it through your head that you were hired to do YOUR job, not theirs. In the end you didn&#039;t save anyone, but what you did do was needlessly risk your job and livelihood. Ask yourself this: if you didn&#039;t have mommy and daddy to lean on for all of your necessities in life, would you still act, think, and feel the same way if there were actual consequences from your actions? An Illinoisan winter is a cardboard box does not sound that fun to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ve been telling us you&#039;re moving away to attend college for two years now, yet it appears that you&#039;re no better off or closer to making this a reality than you were then. I am sorry; Tim, but I don&#039;t buy it. If you cannot even take the necessary first baby steps towards independence, how can you expect anyone to believe you&#039;re serious about this now? You&#039;re right, Tim... you are facing some hard decisions, but coins should not be one of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
