chocolatemuffin 12/15/17 1:01:49 AM #6:	Depending on your managerial abilities and your determination they can be pretty good paying jobs if you work your way up. I'm just a supervisor at starbucks and I make a little over $17 as of jan.1. The higher ups whenever I see them are always decked out in designer clothes and can make between 70-150k a year. For a person who potentially doesn't have a lot of other skills it's better then a lot of other options. <cite>chocolatemuffin posted [p:892247692] in So why exa...

If you are able to work then you must work. You can't just go get welfare for no reason. If you are disabled for some reason, you can get welfare, but it is minimal living. You may need assistance to supplement your assistance. Food stamps are also minimal. $40 bucks a month. More for each kid you have. Its not very much if you want to eat a couple times a day.

NYmasajista 12/15/17 6:42:31 AM #15:	Thanks for answering as I wasn't sure if you were a kid without bills and responsibilities hating on others from a lack of empathy due to having few life experiences. Many people settle for the 'devil they know' and don't take many risks or chances with jobs (and many other things in life) for many reasons such as personality, inertia, culture, family expectations, fear of change, comfort with the routine, transportation (or lack of), and countless other reasons. Empathy comes from understanding where somebody is coming from and you don't have to approve or dissaprove of somebody's choices to understand them. I'm sure that your child was one of the reasons for your post as you know how expensive children are. But that can also be a factor for some people to not change jobs because of the potential risks such as not getting steady hours or not having the flexibility needed to be with them, especially if they are a single parent and/or are sharing child watching duties with their friends and family. Most of us are one or two missed paychecks away from hunger and homelessness, and having children increases that even more. I started working when I was 12 to be able to contribute and help my family. We cannot walk the path of life for another, no matter how much we might want to sometimes. Try not to judge others too harshly as you never know what the are going through in their life unless they tell you. <cite>NYmasajista posted [p:892256606] in So why exa...

If they work, but still can't make it, they're in a good situation since they'll get a paycheck AND their Government check. Don't work at all they'll keep trying to make you find a job. Have a job that pays too much and you will lose that extra money. So they try to fit right in the middle to get both checks --- https://i.imgtc.com/hQ5SuG6.gif https://i.imgtc.com/QrhAq36.gif https://i.imgtc.com/Yjov9DU.gif <cite>Bad_Mojo posted [p:892266126] in So why exa...

They still consider my parents' income even though I haven't lived with them for years. But I think they FAFSA can no longer consider their income, once you reach a certain age. I want to say it's when you're 26, so I should re apply now. --- http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h239/nhottbarbwire/owningroad_zps2333f502.gif <cite>lww99 posted [p:892281509] in So why exa...
