Haven't you read any of his other posts? He posted what his credit card "limit" was a month and explained that his parents pay it off.

No, he should get a job serving lunches in the cafeteria. :)

A job checking parking meters with a UV light for urine stains from unwashed Taco Bell employees whose kids get subsidized lunches from the $0.37 taken out of someone's parents' power bill. :D

My subscription ran out, so I don't lurk and nef as much.

Not to mention that I learned the art of filtering through only good or funny threads. :)

If we had national health care, it would take a lot more than 6 days to get an appointment just to talk to the receptionist, n/m get anything done.

lol... I'm so broke that I skip one meal a day (breakfast).

I have to work 2 jobs over the summer just to save up enough for college each year, and this is with working a part time job during school.

I can't afford a car, so I guess I don't have to worry about getting my "alignment" done like you do.

My shoes are falling apart, but I can't afford new ones (might have to hit up the parents on this one, but I hate asking for money because my parents aren't that rich either).

Wow...

Any chance of getting your case before a judge to reduce the child support, given that you're paying for house/daycare/food?

Child support for a child you are supporting?

The legal system is messed up.

Hey look at me, I'm a spoiled little brat with a credit card that my parents pay off, because I don't have a job, nor have I ever possed anything resembling responsibility. Yay, look at me look at me!!!

Wait, I don't get it, are you broke because you have paid off your credit card bill, or are you broke as in you don't have any more limit on the card? If the latter is the case, simply log on to your account online and pay it off, nice and easy, I do it all the time. Plus you don't have to wait for them to receive the check, it just takes 1 business day to process.
/EDIT if the former is the case, then don't spend so much money on frivelous things. You should learn to budget now while your parents still pay your bills and taxes. I try to save $250 a month and put it into an account, this keeps me from spending too much on stupid things, and when I need it I will have a good chunk of change.
