I can pay the mortgage payment, but lets just say it's very tight. This week the payment comes out, it is 400 bucks. I have 396 bucks in the bank.

I just have to hope the pay check is processed before the payment. They both happen the same day. I might have some change in my car I can go deposit and the teller will look at me funny. :p

If you've got time to sit here posting on AT, you can go out and make four bucks.

I read on the internet that Google will pay you $700/hr to post ads online. Just send me $14.95 for the kit, and I'll send you the infos.

What kind of freelancing do you do? As one freelancer to another, I feel the pain...

I'm not the poorest but I have to make ends meet with a $1001 Ontario Disability Support Programme each month and the $80 GST refund cheque three time a year. At least my income is not taxable.

One exception this year, I earned $1000 net ($2000 but the ODSP reduced my cheque the next month by half that) doing a French translation of a 20p. report and that paid for my computer upgrade. That $2000 will be my taxable income this year unless something extraordinary happens in the next two months.

No savings - my disabled kid's medical bills wiped that out - and I owe some $ to credit cards.

Make me feel better - tell me you're poorer than I am.

Ouch, I can sub you 40 quid or so if you pm me a paypal address.

I'm drunk and happy right now. :)

After running this through a translator, I think he is trying to give you a subway sandwich.

Been unemployed since March now. I had a little over $10k saved up for a down payment on a house, but that is all gone now and I'm doing side jobs because I still can't find regular employment.

Though I am getting tired of rice for dinner.

Are you collecting unemployment?

*sigh*

I am willing to enter an informal agreement, whereby I will lend the OP an amount of monies (roughly in the region of 40 Pounds sterling) until she feels able to repay me.


Any better?

I'm neither drunk nor happy, but I'm with this guy. If I still had my PayPal account open I'd be more than happy to throw a few bucks the OP's way.

Send me a check and I'll forward it to her via PayPal.
