That's what family is for bruh. To help when all seems done. Just remember to pay back plus extra, and help them out when times are bad.

Lost my job a couple months beforehand. Pretty much was living off my credit card until i could find a new job. Just made sure i paid the minimum balance each month. I refused to let anyone know i was struggling. I dont even think my ex knew how bad it was.

Currently unemployed. Living with my parents right now. I'm blessed to have great parents. Peers doing well while I'm struggling. Very humbling experience right now. Looking at these posts give a brother some hope.

dropping outta school
now im working twice as hard to get back in and finish my degree.
realized that if i wanna change ima have to do it on my own and in order to be successful an education will play a vital role
and it made me make a decision that dropping out aint gunna stop me from getting that degree.
now im excited to go back to school even though i have trouble enrolling in classes its still gratifying to get into a class and have the opporunity to learn

I gotta disagree with that one to the fullest.
Debt is debt in the USA.
Trusting a bank loan to keep a roof over your families head is the worst trust you can ever give.
When your bank sells your mortgage out to a scumbag shady lender then you will see where you truly stand with borrowing money from people who wont love you unconditionally.

No its just I think good credit isn't anything to be too optimistic about ever.
Not the way this country is going with debt...
Just my opinion

Its just my opinion bro....and yes I buy everything upfront because Ive worked my tail off to be able to.
Including my home, call it dumb or whatever....but no bank can take it from me, only the county....if I don't pay my taxes.
I understand everyone isnt forunate enough to, but like I said good credit is anything but wealth in my opinion.
Simply borrowing power in the US.

Wealth usually translates to a higher 'borrowing power' though...It's really all circumstantial

That night I did what I promised my dad I wouldn't do. Got in the car with my cousin who was drunk, let him drive. We ended up wrecking. We hit a guard rail, but had that rail not been there, we would have hit a pole which would have been worst. I was underage and I didn't want my cousin to get in trouble so we both agreed that I needed to get out of there. Called up my uncle and he no questions asked bailed me out of there.

My biggest reality check was losing the one woman I gave my everything to. I will never be the same, it took me a while to get over it to be honest. In a sense I have to thank her for letting myself be vulnerable and truly, deeply love another person. It was the first girl that wasn't all in with me, and had the power to hurt me. Like my pops say "You aint a man until you've had your heart broken"

Too heavy.
Not ready to post all I initially did. This thread is deep though. Always a plus.
