My good job doesn't pay well and I'm sick and can't work for like 10 days. My girlfriend also has the flu and can't work so yeah. I have a good job and no money. Plus all the medical bills I am pretty screwed. Though this was a joke it seems to be garnering negative attention for whatever reason.

maybe this is a wakeup call to put some of your money away for these "rainy days".
i feel bad for you if you dont have $20 between two working people. that sucks.
i just had the flu. pretty bad this time. but there was no reason to see a doctor. what are your medical bills? did you go to the ER? good job but no health insurance?

I hate to be the one to say I told you so but..
Am I not the guy who consistently says to have two weeks to a month of supplies, food drink etc in your house.
And many go "Asante is at it again" but look at this:

THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF SERVICE INTERRUPTION I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
For ZombiWurm, the bank is out, the ATM doesn't work.
This is what I mean guys, 2 people with good jobs having to bridge a 10 day gap.
They can ring the neighbor's bell for a box of macaroni but, you get what I'm saying.

Of course you don't fill a vat with rice if you can have a well stocked pantry but even a vat of rice would be useful for this couple right now.
"Howdy neighbor. We have a bit of a prob for the next few days, trade you a milk jug of rice for a box of eggs, some butter and broth cubes?

I really appreciate the offer but I think we will be fine. I was kinda upset at the situation and high on the codeine the doctor gave me so I started a few rants on the shroomery. We have food for now and family and friends would help if we asked. It just kinda sucks is all and I wanted to talk about it. I do appreciate the offer though.

Oh and get this shit! The codeine was practically free with insurance but an asthma inhaler was $60 fucking dollars.

I do some of this... i wouldn't say its decent money tho
Its hard to find enough jobs to do daily, and most pay very, very little. Really hard to earn anything approaching even minimum wage part time
More like $10-30 a week, on a good week if you stay on top of it every day
Try UpWork. Go for content writing if you have no IT/programming skills. You can get up to $200 per article once you build up a reputation. Or try TextBroker if you suck at writing. They pay 1-5 cents/word for shitty content. You can easily pull $100 per day. These 2 sites literally got me off the street. Thank god for free library computers.

Yeah I try to keep emergency supplies around like food rations and stuff. A few years ago I had a couple months worth of those and ended up just eating them for the hell of it. We are working on a savings account and all that and I'm asking for a raise when I go back to work and picking up a second job. If all goes as planned the pay from the second job will fund the savings account and emergency fund.

Yeah bro im sure. Seriously though I really appreciate the offer. It's nice to know that if someone needs help that there are people out here willing to help strangers. I might have stuff to trade though. I'm always down to trade things in the hobby.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check those out.
I do use the plugins for mturk, but there still isn't enough jobs available consistently every day to actually make much - even if you're on there all day, the good paying stuff doesn't come up much and its all done very quickly. Lots of competition...

How the hell do you get medical bills from having the flu?
You lie in bed, take plenty of fluids and it passes all by itself within a week or two

Sucking on cough lozenges, the kinds sold as candy, almost is as effective as medicated cough syrup.

I hate ramen. It's like the flavor just slides off the noodles.

I have medical bills from having cancer and other health problems. I'm cancer free though so that's good.
