You don't need to lecture me on that. I have a good reason for what I said, that three months that I used my visa to pay for rent I begged my parents to let me live rent free for 3 months and I would pay them back with interest. They gave me a cold "NO" so that's exactly how I feel about it now. Don't give me the kind and generous card because I know my parents.

Would any other landlord let you live rent free for 3 months?  Not to mention believe you'll actually pay them back, with interest no less?

Everything can be negotiated. At that time I was prepared to give them all my stuff and they were free to sell it.

People who seem to have no interest in collectibles and don't believe in your "business plan".  That's an easy no sale.

Taxes are paid regardless of whether you like it or not even I pay them as well.

Just because taxes are paid, regardless, does not mean you are entitled to social assistance. I don't know how you rationalize that one. Plus, the amount of taxes you do pay, if any, are inconsequential. The fact that you would even think of lumping yourself in with a regular tax payer because you pay $97.00 of tax a year is delusion of grander in this regard.

It's not the good graces of the people my friend because if it were up to the people the social assistance program wouldn't exist and if it didn't it would have as much money in it as it does now.

Certainly it is. The government is nominated from the people and elected by the people. At anytime we could choose to have a referendum on social assistance and, if it were terminated, it would be because of people like you that abuse it, ruining it for everyone that actually needs it. 

What if the cheques stopped tomorrow? Have you ever asked yourself what you would do then? Think to yourself here and take the time to respond. What if you did not have your parents place to live in and there was no social assistance cheque coming each month? What would you do then?

I don't know where you get the idea that I think I'm entitled to it. If I really thought that I wouldn't even apply but just demand it. I pay taxes just like everyone else and I don't complain about it. I may have fewer taxes than most people but that's because my income is lower.

I'm not going to get into what the government is or isn't so I'll agree to disagree on that. Whether you agree or disagree I need social assistance and if I didn't I wouldn't be on it. What would I do if they checks stopped? Oh, you mean like the government shut down in the US? Well, that's simple I would be in a homeless shelter and looking for a job. Speaking of not having a place to live in I think I only have two more months left with my parents.

Har har har, that's what my mom said. She wanted to make it as empty as possible so that the room looks big and nicer when potential buyers and real estate agents come in to take pictures and make offers. She's the one that told me to put my stuff on that shelf and put it upstairs, the one that bought it for me.

"the one that bought it for me" makes no sense whatsoever in the context you provided it.

Ah, well my mom purchased that shelf for me and told me to put it upstairs and the reason why it's important is because had it not been for that I wouldn't have taken that huge loss at all.

Are your parents selling their home?

If they weren't greedy they would have sold it about a year ago. Yes, they are selling the house and have been for about two years I believe.

I thought you mentioned that your family was poor and that your parents were struggling to make rent which is why they were having you help with their rent.  I guess they came a long way from barely able to make rent a few years back to being home owners.  Oh, didn't your family move in the last couple years?

Taxes are paid regardless of whether you like it or not. What happens to it after you pay them is up to the government. You act as if I've never worked a day in my life when I've had plenty of jobs. I already explained my plans for this year so if you forgot them then check them out. 

Well, my parents said they wouldn't touch it and for a good while they didn't until they did. The reason why the shelf wasn't in my room because the shelf would take up a huge portion of my room and make it look smaller than it actually is. To be honest with you I was more cautious with my comics because they have more value but that's not to I didn't care about my toys and video games just that push came to shove and I chose to have my comic books in my room.

I'm actually pretty sane and if you knew the card that I'm getting you wouldn't be making assumptions. I never said that 591 was a good credit score just that it's the credit score I have and better than I thought it would be. Actually, the reason why my card is maxed out is due to me paying living expenses nothing more nothing less.

As for the job I've already explained that situation as well so go back a few pages and read it. Do you honestly think that I would be able to keep my social assistance as long as I have by doing nothing? You know I have to report to them monthly right? Both my financial earnings and how I've been doing with my job search.

By the way here's the link to the EXACT card that I'm getting so you don't think of any more assumptions.

http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/products/deposits/virtual-visa-debits-faqs.html

 

If that card is simply a debit card tied to your bank account, then I was wrong to assume that you were getting another credit card.  That said, even after four years, it never ceases to amaze me how you strategically pick and choose which questions or comments to respond to while ignoring others.

Of course taxes are paid, and nobody except the government likes it.  The government also does decide what to do with that money.  No argument on either point.  However, what gives you the right to accept that same money in the form of social assistance to pay your living expenses and then turn around and spend whatever other money you can come up with on comics, toys or whatever?  You're on social assistance because you are unable to support yourself, correct?  That means that if you weren't receiving government assistance, any money you had, that right now goes to comics, games and cryptocurrency, would have to be spent on living expenses and basic necessities.

You say you've had plenty of jobs, maybe you have, maybe not, but how long did you actually work at any of those jobs?  Since you've brought it up twice, I never asked what your plans are for this year, and I absolutely believe that you can continue receiving social assistance while doing nothing, because that's exactly what you are doing.  If you were actually trying to find a job for as long as you say you have, then one of three things is taking place: 1) you're not really looking for a job; 2) you make a terrible first impression and/or your resume tells prospective employers that you are not someone they want to hire, or 3) you really and truly are unemployable, which your lack of grammar, hygeine, comprehension and common sense most likely contributes to.  Because the cold, hard truth is that nobody, but nobody can possibly look for a job for 4 years and not find one, or at least one they will stick with for any length of time.  It's hard to believe that in the four years since you started your journal, you have gotten exactly nowhere, unless you count your foray into the elf sex realm as a rung on the ladder of sucess. You're still living with your parents, still don't have a job and are still losing money with your comic and game flipping.  

By the way, since you ignored it before, I'll ask again: How much do you owe on your credit card, are you making the payments, and if you are, where is the money coming from that you are using to pay them?

You're correct my family is poor and was struggling with rent but you give them too much unnecessary credit. Though they don't tell me the exact specifics they're either on their second or third mortgage and heavily in debt. Yes, they moved quite a few times and I moved with them.

got my virtual visa debit card up and running so now I'll be able to pay cgc faster for the comics 

 

How did your Virtual Visa Debit Card work out for you in 2015?  Do you think you'll repeat the same mistakes from a few years back?

Haha, that's not what I'll be using the virtual visa for yet. I want to check out cheaper shipping and cheaper shipping supplies. Well, the card didn't work as well as I've wanted in 2015 but I won't be making the same mistakes again.

Were your parents selling and buying a new home every time they moved or did they keep the house while they moved?  Maybe things are different in Canada, but you mentioned that your dad was unemployed due to a work related injury so he had no money coming in.  Wouldn't this be a huge red flag for banks if your parents tried to take a loan out for a house?
