<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1663709, member: 31533&quot;]That&#039;s a nice story and I&#039;m glad you appreciate what you&#039;ve been given. (serious, not a snide comment). I&#039;d &quot;like&quot; this post, but I don&#039;t know what Tim&#039;s parents are like or whether they are the problem. Could be Tim&#039;s biggest problem is himself and only himself.&nbsp; Sometimes kids come along that just don&#039;t respond as good as others do with basically the same circumstances. Perhaps the parents are at their wits-end because they&#039;ve tried and tried and nothing really gets this kid out of the house and away from living a fantasy that somehow, with no fortitude or money-smarts, he&#039;ll have (in a few years) a wonderful life in his own home and with a lovely wife. There are plenty of homes where kids are basically given pretty much a really bad situation and they&#039;ve pulled up their big boy (or big girl) pants and made good and been either moderately or really successful, and others where you could only hope to have lived in that home and been given the opportunities that were there, and those kids turn out badly. We only have Tim&#039;s viewpoints on this forum, so perhaps we should just refrain from judging that his parents are the ones at fault. Maybe he fell on his head when he was two and never recovered from that!!! </p><p><br /></p><p>Tim.... you may want to lower your expectations and just find a way to survive if it ever turns out that your parents aren&#039;t able to continue supporting you. Coins are just trinkets in life and all your troubles really aren&#039;t worth having a hobby that keeps your little bit of money away from your bills. Lower your expectations, look for that minimum wage job and figure how to keep it once you have it (it&#039;s easy: go to work each and every day, get there on time, do as you are told, and never let the boss know you think you are smarter than him/her). Then make your payments each and every month&nbsp; - on time - until your former bills are gone. Each time you get some money saved, and look at a coin on-line or elsewhere, remind yourself that it is better to pay your bills and be responsible than to get a coin that will, in most cases, never appreciate in value and if times get tough you will be pawning for a fraction of your price anyways. Or your life will be a continuous repeat of your last few years, but more dismal because you will not be young and forgiven for it anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
