    This weekend is my last at my retail job...

    ...because I applied and got accepted for a new job all by myself! It's been a tumultuous month; sorry I've been gone for so long. In my retail job, I couldn't stand only relying on one or two days per week of working due to my 'limited hours.' It seriously wasn't an issue over the spring and...

    Should employers pay disabled employees more?

    Yes, I can predict possible issues with this. But, if you're someone like me who isn't 'disabled enough' to obtain benefits, but too disabled to work full-time, then what can you do? And of course, isn't there a threshold for severity of disability to be determined to warrant such pay? The big...

    Request for information

    I have a site admin request that I just wanted to post here and deal with publicly, for ease and to accommodate a thorny technical and ethical issue. I would like to know if I can post in this thread a current FAFSA application form, to use as a topic of study to empower the dependent of a site...

    Obsessions and interests you can't afford

    Hi everyone, Do any of you have obsessions/interests that you can't afford? My obsession is with real cars, I like to buy them, buy parts for them, modify them etc but I do not earn enough money to do this. I have tried buying match box cars, model cars, Lego sets etc even though I like that...

    UPDATE: my best friend is pregnant

    Hi, I rarelly post stuff this time or for the past months but if you have read some of my previous thread (it might be in this section) you probably remember I posted about a friend of mine who was inlove of a guy who is kind of a jerk, and that's not only my opinion it was hers at the time...

    Is it unreasonable for family members to take advantage of ones' diagnosis for financial gain??

    Hi all! Sorry to bother you guys but I can't seem to understand the conveniences versus the negative impacts behind such initiatives and quite frankly I am appalled that members of my family (let alone anyone) would even lay a thought on using my diagnosis for their benefit. To give you a...

    PIP appeal (UK)

    Hi All, I've just heard back from my mandatory reconsideration, surprise surprise! I've been rejected. However, it's not over yet. I've just written my appeal letter and gathered together a load of evidence to support my claim. It doesn't help the DWP that they told blatant lies about me when...

    How do/did you handle severe debt?

    So for a long time now, I've been struggling with massive credit card debt and it seems like an uphill battle. Since January of 2015, I have come very close to filing for bankruptcy numerous times, but never did. For one thing, I don't want to be haunted by that stigma even for a short period...

    Money and Business Woes, and What to do Now

    Hello all. A little introduction about me: I work for my father at his fledgling business. He's relied on money from family to stay afloat and things are not looking to get better, beside absolutely everyone's insistence that they are. Some of that money has come from me, albeit unwillingly. He...
