That is an excuse and a recipe to be poor forever. Being on disability with a limited income is even more reason to save money and not run up credit card bills for pizza. Instead of $50 a month at the pizza place and pub, he could save that money and buy a lawnmower to start a landscaping business, he could buy seeds to grow and sell the plants, he could manufacture weed and shrooms and sell them, he could find good deals on craigslist and flip whatever he buys. He could get a side job to get money under the table. Something like answering phones for a Mom n' Pop business, babysitting, or whatever there is near him, or he could keep making excuses and worry about pizza money forever.

If the housing market is about to crash then this would be the best time to save for it. He should be flipping his money and then when the crash happens he could buy a trailer or materials to build a shipping container house or maybe a cabin.

Buying on credit will get you nowhere and it will get you there really really fast.

I got thirsty so I went to a bar
Met a lil darlin' with the face of a star
In the mornin' woke up to find
She stole my car along with my heart, yeah, yeah
Oh well I guess that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

Wish she'd give me back my heart uh-huh

A house is only out of reach if you have the attitude that the house is out of reach and that is the truth. It just takes time and some hard work.

I've never been to a casino. A strip club either. They both sound like not my kinds of scenes.

I've only been one other time (where I actually gambled), and that was a 4 day stay at a casino in Detroit (yes Detroit) when I was in town for a University of Michigan football game up the road in Ann Arbor.

I could maybe go a couple times a year, but could take it or leave it. Honestly I should just leave it and never go again. I donated some $500 in gambling alone (I'm guessing) when I was in Detroit. And then gave the casino another $125 yesterday.

So basically yesterday I paid $275 (the room, food/tips and alcohol) so I could have the privilege of giving the casino 125 bucks. So 400 altogether in 1 day.



Man they charged like upwards of $10 a beer at the casino yesterday. And I probably had like 7. I wonder if I could sneak beer in next time? There's a fridge in the room and they were selling bottles at different bars around the casino so if I was walking around with a bottle of some generic beer like bud light I don't know how they'd know.

You paid for drinks in a casino


I just wait for the watered down cocktails to make an appearance on the floors unless I really really want something specific.

Don't you guys ever want to get your own house or own your own business? Or just not have to worry about how you will pay for date night? It's as easy as saving your money and not spending money that you don't have.

No, it also requires sufficient income. He is on disability and has a few hundred bucks left after rent for food and anything else. There is no saving for a house on that kind of money. Even without the runaway housing prices happening now in Canada. The 2008 housing crash never really happened here and we are in the middle of a bubble.
