We will also report to the NAACP and to Al Sharpton's entourage, how the Shroomery administrators allows their mods and members to be balatantly allowed the use of the 'N' word.

"And?":rolleyes:    I was explaining why businesses pay 'under the table'.

DO IT!  It's work.  All it takes is one audit, so save.  Paying taxes on $10/hr is better than paying taxes on minimum wage.  Take the job. 

If the money is right, I'll work 'under the table' too.

In order to pay for rent, utilities, food, car insurance, etc... you need to make so much more money than low-paying jobs pay.

How the hell do people do it? I'm sincerely interested.


Living to work, not working to live pretty much.

Holding down 2-3 low-paying jobs, your only time home is to sleep (briefly) and shower (quickly), and by packing your family into a 1-br shit-hole in a bad-part of town and living paycheck to paycheck, knowing that if you miss one you'll all be on the streets.

Sucks, but its done, and done by many - thankfully, I've never been in that situation, and hopefully never will be.

The guy isn't writing me off as an expense, we talked about it in length. No 1099s. He said he doesn't need the extra paper-work and is just happy to have someone with electrical knowledge and experience. This isn't a high profile company, its just his own small business.

Really, I've worked under the table many times in my life, and have never been 1099ed. Although my entire $6,577.89 2006 Tax return was taken by the department of education before I could even see it because of an old student loan. That sucked serious ass. I didn't even find out until the day I was supposed to pick up the check from the tax place. We had serious plans for that and it was going to save our asses. Incidentally, I was fired from my last job the day before.

yeah...

My favorites are weeping willows, which aren't really weeping at all. They're very wispy, witty and will dance in the breeze with you. Nothing like a tree that wants to dance with you. Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space. All very fun until your neighbor sees you.                                    -The Joekenorer

Christ, I never thought that this thread would be so successful.

I actually have had to work low-paying jobs before and it sucks. It's just been so long that I kind of forgot what it was like. After I dropped out of college I lived with my mom and worked at some warehouse. I made just enough to make the minimum payments on my student loans and keep my car running so that I could go to said warehouse job. My life SUCKED.

Then I got my own apartment in my hometown. I got another crap job and things got even harder. I couldn't turn my heat above 50 degrees in the winter and I couldn't afford food. I went from 135 pounds down to 115 pounds. On the days when I couldn't afford food (which was most days) I used to go into banks and pretend that I wanted to open an account so that I could snatch a few tootsie rolls or lollipops from the candy dishes on the counter. Ramen and I had an intimate relationship as well.

Being poor sucks. Never again.
