Loan Sharks?

I love this thread. Its better than watching tv. sarah, if you find yourself homeless, I can put you up for a month. In exchange you'll need to fork over 100 bucks for rent, plus do all my chores, ie, cleaning. Apparently I don't do enough around here. [:(] I'm nocturnal, so you can have the bed at night, I get it in the morning. No incalls to this location though. My other female roomie is a total feminist. Oh and you'll have to lie about what you do for a living. [;)]

Re: Dime store advice bob_knob said: Sorry should have said $.02 advice. As I see it she asked for help, from a community we all belong to. If you can help and want to support one of our community members great if not that’s your prerogative. Click to expand... The first time I heard Sarah's sad story and a cry for help, I was trying to figure out a way to send her money. But something in my gut said wait & see. The second time this came about I also felt badly for her, but as this saga goes on and on my compassion seems to be dwindling. It's kind of ironic because the first time I saw she was in financial trouble (I think cancer was mentioned that time) I had a few sharp words for the people who said "she does this all the time". How could they be so cold hearted???? Now here I am telling you..... She does this all the time so the clichés & off the cuff statements ring so true help those who help themselves I wasn't implying that she get business advice from Paige, sorry if it came across that way. She needs basic financial advice. If you look in the "Stuff for sale" thread She is trying to buy new furniture.... WTF??? With what, I thought you had no money???

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." ........Teach him how to fish and the gov't will subsidize him for life and buy his boat."

wow.. you people all know me so well.

You're absolutely correct Sara, most of the people on PERB, SP's or your current or past clients, don't know you like you know yourself, or as you put it..."know (you) so well". However, everyone certainly knows their own experiences of life's little lessons. When it comes to money and how to handle it, there just might be a few people here who know how to squeeze a penny and get a dime in change. There are ladies who share are your vocational counterparts. Some of these ladies are sound money managers and astute businesswomen. They have a unique insight into the pitfalls and issues pertaining to your business and are offering you help. Of those who are responding to your petition for a loan, whether they are other SP's like yourself and / or people with money management experience, I gather that they would like you to find a path to economic freedom through sound financial principles. While that might not immediately address your crisis, utilizing their advice probably will keep you from this circumstance in the future. As for your immediate crisis, there have been many suggestions in the previous 30 something posts, some of them could assist you. In my opinion, the ones that want to pass the cap and collect loose change for you, they are compassionate and caring without solving the underlying causes that have you revisiting this financial mess again. I sincerely hope you confer with those Sp's who are willing to help you... they are specifically able to see it all the issues that are affecting you clearly. If you don't, you most certainly will be back in the same situation before you want to be. SCd

geeeee, Bob Knob should apply to get into the US, Kerry would have loved his help !!!!

An observation. Sarah wanted to see a picture of the couch, she didn't mention wanting to buy it. If I want to see a picture of a SP, it doesn't guarentee a purchase.

Stopped in for a few and all I can say is HOLLY PHUCK,,,,,,Going to get a glass of wine and see whats really up

Sarah I have $40 to help you out. Not a loan... a gift. But with a very small string attached. I will forward this on to Paige as soon as she PMs me and says you took her up on her offer (assuming she's not pissed off at you now and changed her mind) I really do wish you well and would like to see you learn to handle challenges like these. Any other Perbites willing to step up????

I told you guys.. I don't have problems planning my finances.. I don't at all.. I have a budget taped to my fridge, and I know how many clients I need to see per month to make enough money for everything I need. I know how much money I can spend, too. I don't spend my money stupidly. It's used only for things I need. I'll only spend extra if I *have* extra to spend. It's a matter of.. Seriously.. no one was contacting me for quite some time.

I'm not lazy, I have problems that prevent me from keeping a 'normal' job. That's why I got into SPing in the first place, and that's why I still do it. Until my problems are sorted, I can't have a 'real' job.

hmmm, very intersting observing human behaviour on this board. This plea for a bit of help seems to bring out the worst in some people and some good in some people. I thought it was quite admirable of Paige to offer help. So stop being a dick head to her!!!

Riiight. Didn't I already say I was just looking for a loan. For the love of fuck, stop treating me like shit already. I asked for a loan!! Not to be given handouts. I was VERY clear about that.

Ok good! You're in a fighting mood. I would rather see you get angry and fight your way out of poverty and depression, then crumple to the floor in like a rag doll. Go get 'em tiger!
