It's almost like he kinda stopped caring about his career. I don't know why I got that feeling, but it was like his SNL days just didn't translate off SNL.
Its more like he never cared about his career. He is a troll in the best sense possible. Been trolling everywhere he has been since I can remember.
LOL Whoa!! sigh Vega's.. Has GM/Chevy ever really learned? Yeah you and your bro had what 4..5.. of them? His green one with the factory headers that did the Oregon border parsec run in 8+ hours was my fav Almost bought one like yours in pale yellow before deciding I wanted this instead knock off wire wheels, 3 wipers, gauges that didn't work unless you rapped them, side draft carbs. Crashbox 1st gear but it handled like a go cart. U turns in alleys with ease. 1275cc and 60 HP but with curb weight of only 1575lbs!! ... taught me to be a mechanic monthly maintenance schedules biweekly maintenance schedules weekly maintenance schedules and they weren't the same fucker broke everywhere with dates on the way to job interviews nasty timing
oh and all in on the Japanese mfrs too Owned many Honda's and Toyota's still own 3 of them ...never owned a Nissan yet
If that is a MG in British racing green, I am both envious, and extremely sorry for you at the same time. It's one of those cars that ideally, you need to tow a motorcycle behind you in case it just decides to stop and have a cup of tea on it's own schedule. I understand modern car enthusiasts love for British classic cars....but what pieces of crap from a reliability standpoint.
Correct on both points Like I said it handled like a go cart but you always needed wrenches with you for things that had no business failing My Volvo C70 serves as my current placeholder convertible MUCH more reliable.. so far until I can afford something nicer
fuck english cars almost divorced over the wife wanting a range rover and my refusal to pay for the privilege of repairing it looking back...nah can't do that its all good
I've owned many Nissan's.. maxima, pathfinder, infiniti Q50sport, Infiniti QX60, QX70, and the badass Q60 redsport.. loved them all!!! Best cars I've ever had. Owned Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Honda, VW, Lexus etc. all are sub par to the Nissan group of vehicles. Longevity Re- sale value Comfort Fin and finish Power Responsiveness Support handling Outstanding
I know fuck English cars...true. But there was a time I would have killed, I mean absolutely killed, for an E type Jaguar. I wouldn't mind having a new Jag now either. Pretty sure you don't have to ride around these days with a mechanic in the boot.
Jaguars are the sexiest cars a regular guy could someday buy, that is true. I wanted an old 70's jag for years. But then i came to my senses. And old buddy of mine used to drive jags exclusively. Always new ones. He would tell me that you dont ever want to buy a jag. You lease it.
I am struggling right now y'all. My mom has been out of work for nearly 3 years and my uncle lost his job nearly 2 years ago then found out he wasnt a citizen after applying for work. He's spent nearly 40 years here, paid taxes the entire time, has a son in the military, and married to an American born citizen for 33 years going on 34. But he's not a citizen lol. Anyways, I've been the sole person taking care of every bill for my mother while providing a roof for them and every other necessity that goes along in everyday life. At this point my savings is gone, my 401k withdrawn and spent, and my checkings on the verge of being in the negative probably within a couple months. Yet, if i ever show any signs of distress or moments of weakness it makes my mother cry and aunt n uncle feel bad. I'm so sick of this shit. It's at a point where I viscerally hate being "home" and I'm too fucking broke to even feel comfortable to spend a dime on anything because i know the bills are looming. I dont know what to do y'all. When i look at my mom, uncle, or aunt, i get angry with them. I love em but how the fuck did it come my sole responsibility to take care of three grown adults. End rant
After all you've done, are doing still, and will probably continue to do, you're due some damn good karma...sure hope so. It may seem like a long time coming, and sounds it is certainly is overdue, but I just refuse to believe that people like you aren't eventually rewarded for their sense of purpose and dedication and plain hard work. Easy for another to say, I know, but stay with it. It'll come for you... A working class hero is something to be.
I'm sorry you're going through this, man. It's difficult to advise with such limited information, and clearly your heart is in the right place...but it's not your responsibility. Your uncle and mother should be able to survive working odd jobs, budgeting carefully, and making sacrifices to their lifestyle. It's one thing to provide a place to stay, but if they're able bodied, there's no excuse to be 100% dependent on you. Again, I don't know their age and specific circumstances, but it sounds like you're being taken advantage of. Once you determine what to do about your mother and uncle, the road to financial recovery is easily within reach. No matter how bad it seems. Dave Ramsey and Chris Hogan offer pretty sound, conservative financial advice. They outline this in "baby steps"... Baby Steps: 1. Save up $1,000 as a starter emergency fund. 2. Cut up your credit cards and pay off all debt except your mortgage using a debt snowball. 3. Save up 3 to 5 months of living expenses for a fully funded emergency fund. 4. Contribute 15% of income towards retirement (divide that 15% between mutual funds, 401k, roth IRAs etc. diversify. Long term investments) 5. College funding for children 6. Pay off home early 7. Build wealth and give. Also, BUDGET. Assign every dollar to a specific area. No matter what your income is or how much you owe, it will give you peace of mind knowing you have enough to cover a certain amount. Take care of the 3 most important things first: Food, shelter, transportation. Everything else comes second. Eventually, it will all be settled or taken care of. Cut up the cards, don't finance anything except a mortgage and even then make sure you put 20% down and the monthly payment and taxes are no more than 25% of your take home pay. The borrower is slave to the lender. Take control. It's all about behavior. You can get out of this man. You may not even have debt, which would be awesome. From there, it's simply changing some spending behaviors and having a tough convo with your mom. Don't put up with guilt trips or take her advice because she's broke. She's in a situation where she has to rely on her son which means she didn't have a plan financially. With the right planning, we can self insure being out of work, sustaining an injury, etc. Here's a free online budgeting tool: https://www.everydollar.com Here's a link to Financial Peace University, which is provided online and also hosted by local churches: https://www.daveramsey.com/fpu Do it.
don't mean to simplify it but when it comes to being resentful of others in our lives its pretty much our choice i admire being committed to family/friends/lovers what have you but its completely your choice and your happiness matters no one but you can decide how your time is spent on this rock hurdling through space once you understand that then you will be comfortable that you are exactly where you want to be if you aren't then walk away since you owe nothing to anyone misery is a choice at least thats how i see it file under argue for your limitations and sure enough they are yours
Hi. I wont give you financial advice or worse yet spiritual advice. Because thise financial gurus have never been where you are. And Karma is for hindus and it is 100 percent bullshit. There is no such thing as karma. And ther is no 12 step financial program that guarantees to fix your situation. You my brother are fucked. You deserve and need to die. Your life is over. You need a new one. I lived your exact life. I have been where you are. I was killing myself to live. Your hapiness does not matter. Keep longing for it and you will never recover. It took me 10 years. I did it the wrong way first. Cost me a lot of time. Dont follow these guys advice. They dont have the faintest idea. These people ARE your responsibility. This responsibility might be your only hope. You need to repent. Turn back on your life and walk the opposite direction. Go back to being a teenager for a time. Be born again. Then grow up to be a bigger man. And never forget... Fuck the world. But fuck her gently. When you decide. Im still above citrus college.
