Living in Subsidized Housing

Chores and go to work?

Sorry, you sound like a scammer.

GOD BLESS E!

From what I can tell, over the years, the GLP philosophy is if you are poor, live on welfare, or use food stamps, you are a piece of trash that should be strapped to a chair and beaten with hammers.

But I say, best of luck to you, we will all need it someday.

I "like" you as a GLP'er... I believe you contribute ALOT to the discussions... But I trouble having sympathy for the situation you present. It is private property and you are free to move anytime you see fit to do so. As you are in subsidized housing, I unfortunately have even less sympathy.

I do hope you continue to pursue your small business plans.

One bit of advice I can give you is this:
Make lists...
Writing (not typing) goes a long way to helping you remember things. And having things on paper makes them always retrievable.

So make a list for your business...
i.e...
1. Research
a. Potential for success
b. Talk to others in similar businesses
c. Figure out the amount of money needed to start business
2. Develop business plan
a. Do I need a store front
b. Where will I get my widgets from
- Is this the cheapest place for widgets
c. Will my midget supplier be able to keep up with the changing widget market.

So it's basically a "punch list"... The longer you make it and the more detailed you make it... The better, you will feel a little "rush" every time you scratch a line off the list.

Oh and you need a second punch list...

This is for the day to day crap...

Example:
1. Pick-up dry cleaning
a. Ask about alterations
2. Vacuum Floors
3. Mop Floors
4. Buy batteries for back massage
5. Work on Business plan for 1 hour
6. Watch Miley Cyrus make ass of herself at MTV music awards, 7pm tonight...
7. Pick up bottle of Red Wine for hot date.
8. Give El Tiburon some Green for the advice.

Think about this...
People spend thousands of dollars for seminars, and hundreds more for the organizers that go with the seminars.

All you need is a pack of note pads.
Use a separate note pad for each MAJOR Endeavor, like starting a business.
Use a separate notepad for your daily activities.

At night, before bed, start a new list. Copy any unfinished activities for the current day. Try and place them as close to the top of the list as possible.

Last bit of advice... read list(s) often... look for opportunities to combine tasks like :pick up drycleaning & get gallon of milk...
This can be done in one trip. But equals two things scratched off your list.

I hope this helps you.

Add up what you are spending in rent and the extra water and go find a place for that amount with water included. Or you could just find a roommate and get out of the horrible place you are in. It would only be temporary with a roommate since you will be leaving soon and you could possibly save up some money by selling stuff and just having enough furniture for a bedroom. Or just get one rented room. Think of the money you could save. Anything would be something.

report that guy for panty sniffing, yet?

I judge the judgemental. My point is simply this. Anyone who purports to judge others...who criticises government and its services to the needy, takes from that government and then criticises what she is getting, deserves to be reminded of what a moocher she is. In fact she fully meets my definition of a moocher.

State welfare is a gift, not a right. Take it, shut up and get off it as quick as you can. Don't come on here complaining as to ypur rights to more favourable access whilst deriding the system and other recipients (who happen to be black). I as a self made person despite extreme difficulties and a compassionate egalitarian will kick your arse with derision.

You are complaining about everything and all along you have a husband to go to. I can hardly feel sorry for you now. You really have no idea being without anything or no one.
Save the pity party for someone who needs it.
Sorry to be truthful.

If you would read, she has memory problems. She could go someplace and forget why she was there. No one would hire her like this. She is disabled and would need someone with her incase she forgets where she is and what she was doing. She is disabled and I am glad she is getting help.

I know a lady with a section 8 house. She has had it for 20 yrs and has never lived in it. She has someone mow the lawn and keeps it, just in case.

Ridiculous

Good grief some of you fucktards on this thread are the most holier-than-thou people I've ever read. Eireanne worked and put money into the SS system. She is disabled but trying to get back to where she doesn't have to live the way she lives right now. She can't be with her husband yet because he is a citizen of another country and immigration laws have prevented it. Her concern about the rules of her housing is mostly because the rules are very difficult for the elderly people who live there, and possibly illegal (paying to care for common areas outside, overly invasive searches of the apartments beyond what is normally required/allowed by law etc.) Read the damn thread before you jump on her. She goes to great lengths NOT to drain the system. She is working and trying to progress despite a brain injury that really set her back. Her gold star is a gift from another GLPer.

Get the hell off of your high horses and thank God you are not in the same situation she is in. I would hope if you were you would handle it with the same character and dignity as she does.

She's going to Ireland!! Hahahaha. That'll sort her out...not much in the way of welfare over there, especially in the south.

Entitled, full of excuses, and delusions of grandeur. Possible Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Its a free market lady. Don't like it, move on!! Stop whinging!!

In fact, I cant stand whingers of any hue. I may be compassionate but its stops when the whinging starts. Ireland certainly does not need this woman over there.

"Whinging" is not a word in the English language. The "free market" does not exist much in the reality of a small town where housing options are limited. When she is reunited with her husband she will not need assistance. Thanks for playing.

If you are or were involved in "white or natural witchcraft" repent, it destroys the brain and memory centers.

I haven't a clue what you speak but English it evidently isn't. And I day trade foreign exchange for a living so I know that the market is free. It is 3 am over here in NZ, I am trading NY and money flows freely across borders in my game. That is a free market!!

Now quit pretending to be a free marketeer and go get a real job really working.

Don't pay any attention to the judgmental haters Op

Glad you are here.

So this husband is in Ireland, evidently earning enough and she is still on welfare in the US!!!

Fucking disgrace!!!

Can you tell us all how your "trading" helps produce anything other than income for you?

there would be no US without the Irish- they built the fucking place, bozo

Into the light...you got it wrong. She will answer the posts criticizing her but won't toss a sliver of thanks to those who have complimented her.

So what do you think the markets do? Play in the upper atmosphere? Without global liquidity, you wouldn't have the wherewithal to buy that suppository on your credit card.

Now back to the main issue. Lame arse free types bludging the welfare system. It stinks.

Still does not answer my question.

Aaah!! Bugger that. I am done with lame arse bludgers. Get a job and get off dependency!!

Ireland is going through a recession anyway. I hope she moves over there to get off the US (where I used to live) welfare rolls but she'll be in just as bad of a spot.

Just re-read my thread for fear you were speaking to me.

I edited my post because it did seem a bit harsh and wasn't meant to be so.

Her head trauma is a terrible thing and I was honestly trying to give her some helpful advice.

The South has very little infrastructure or services but is very expensive. The British north is much better but of course, is fiercely Protestant.

If this jonny is working in the South and making ends meet, he will have a reasonable job.

Hi Eireann I am the AC that asked you to please post the link or give the name to the site. I'm looking into getting into work from home/telecommute/remote work and I would like to ask you a few questions about the research business and web design/marketing. I would send you a personal message through this forum but I can't as I don't have an upgraded account. My email address is [email protected] I would like you to send me a quick email to my address so I will have your email address and then I can ask you a few quick questions by email. I know you may be busy, just a few quick questions, I won't take up too much of your time.

Well said Snark.

awesome post! & when she leaves the country to re-join her husband in Ireland that check she receives here & now in the US will STILL be available to her even in Ireland
