Stay in school! Do your best in school, try to honestly learn something.
You will need it to make it in this messed up world your elders are leaving you.
Get a part time job, save your money, for when you need it. Stay away from drugs alcohol
and cigarettes, addictions will cost you for the rest of your life.
What about college? Unless you are in the top 10% of your class forget
it. It is a waste of money for you, and your parents as well as the the tax payers.
Go for vocational education, most of the available jobs in this country are in food service. Food service training means you will always have a job when you want or need it. College for those who are not gifted is just a repeat of high school and those pieces of paper you get at the end, get you the same Mc'job you would have had anyway. You would be much better off working and saving your money until you decided what you really want to do with your life. You can always go later... College just starts the debt cycle, four years , no earnings. You wind up with a stack of books you'll never look at again. For most College means four years of partying and $100,000 in debt, which you have to pay off in ten years...
If you are in college and doing well stick it out , you mighty get lucky...
Top students often get real job offers before they even graduate. If your not doing
well bail now, get a job get two pay off those loans as quickly as possible find
an interest and start a life. Stay out of debt, financing is the key to your enslavement.
Waiting a year for something while you save the money, will make you appreciate it
so much more than if you pay for it forever. Forget the bonds of marriage and kids.
Marriage changes a relationship so much, you won't know yourself after six months...By
trying to meet the expectations of society, family and religion you lose yourself
to the institution. The first is those fancy rings that cost a years wages and are
easily paid for in 60 monthly payments... Kids... forget get it... you are put under
a microscope everybody from relatives to local authorities, school snoops and the
federal government breathes down your neck watching every move and telling you you
are doing it all wrong. The kids themselves never appreciate what you're doing for
them either.
By avoiding the peer pressure, you can make your life your own and
you will be happier in the end. Forget the big house fancy cars and the rainbow dreams.
A cheap used trailer protects you from the elements as well as a $200,000 dollar
house. Trailers can be had for as little as $500 and cars as well. Two months pay
at minimum wage and you can have both, with out having to make a monthly payment
for 7 years (car) or 40 years (house). If enough people follow this advice the market
will drop out and houses and cars will be affordable in about the time you have saved
the money to pay cash.
Well some of us have to learn the hard way, so we can teach others. Congratulations you are a teacher. My suggestion to you is that you liquidate everything you possibly can. Sell the house and the car move down to something you can afford. Get a second job pay off those debts as quickly as you can. Pay off student loans and taxes first. Work at it for at least a year if it still seems hopeless declare bankruptcy. If nothing else it will prevent you from making the same mistakes again..
Well you have achieved the American dream... Been there done that.... Marriage house kids and the two cars. Congratulations, The government will not let you out of this. You are responsible for those kids and their actions until they have been declared adults. You can try liquidating to some extent but don't go for those second jobs... Because your kids need you for guidance and protection and the government has scores of charges to put against you if you should fail them in anyway. Tough it out raise good kids raise smart kids don't let them fall in to the same traps that you did...
