Sounds like a shitty situation.

I am just having trouble believing that all hell will break lose for if you don't get 50 dollars. I'm not exactly Mr. Moneybags either, but the numbers you are mentioning can't possibly match the tragedy of your situation.

Oh man

i understand you

in past my parents had finantial problems and struggled hard to honor our debts

Do your college have a tolerance time after the estabilished limit? Being in college i believe you can try some Student finantial Aid, or at least some comprehension so they can wait a bit till those ppl pay your mother.

Are you familiar with day labor? Its a way for you to work for a day at minimum wage and get paid the same day.

Look up temporary labor in your phone book, or look for a place called Labor Ready. If you want to be guaranteed a job for the day you have to show up at like 5 am. Wear work clothes and maybe bring a lunch and something to drink and thats all you need.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_labor
http://www.laborready.com/Page.aspx?nid=17

This is assuming you're in the US...not sure how other countries work.

And some tell TL is no community.


I hope you manage to help the OP. It would suck for him to lose his school because of not being able to pay the last tax .

This is going to sound almost cruel, but sometimes you need to just get away from the situation.
You need to go somewhere else and start a life there. The only way you will be able to break out of the cycle is if you first go out and settle down first. Once you make an income you can help your mom. I feel that you need to be free from this to focus as a student.

May I ask, how did this all arise? The debts, people owing your mom money, and your dad just not doing anything?
always tired -_-

So my parents had a fight last night, and it turned out my mom had been in debts since years ago, and now she's making the same damn mistakes again. Dad was so tired of his wife that he stopped caring. I think the recent debts started when some guy bought a lot of stuffs from her and kept delaying the payment. Those wasn't HER goods though, I think she borrowed money from people to buy them. As you said, it's a circle and I really need to get out and start a new life. But how? I don't even have money to buy gas to travel now. I'm searching for a job everywhere, but it isn't looking very promising.

To everyone else: yes I'm living in Vietnam.

Life is tough, stay strong my man. Hope you eat well at least. Keep looking for a job, this is the only way to bust this vicious circle. If you absolutely have to beg - then do it, I'm not too sure what begging looks like. Maybe you can talk to your uncle yourself without involving your father? How much money will you need total in order to graduate?

you really should have had a job already if you knew you had shit to pay off and that your parents were in a shitty financial situation...

at least take from this that you need your own job, even if it's shitty, and that you need to get your own savings account that your parents cant touch

I'd have to kinda agree with Hawk here... You should've got a job a while back. I know its not as easy as that, but there are always jobs around for you to get.
