Good thing you got lots of money to buy new cell phones.

 

Only one and it's an investment.

 

Ya you've tried to justify it so you can "respond quicker to ebayers". Seeing as how you need wifi you won't be responding while working will you? If so why are you responding during work and not working? If not do you think it makes much difference if you respond at say 5pm when you get home from work and check your emails and once at 11pm when you go to bed?

 

How many questions/responses in a month do you get on ebay? Seeing how you haven't sold anything since Oct 22nd I don't think response time is your issue. You can continue to try and justify the spending though ;)

 

No I won't carry it to work with me but there are about five of six apps that you can sell only by using their mobile versions because I've tried otherwise and it didn't work.

 

Which "apps"

 

Ebay, Letgo, Instagram, XE currency converter, Kitco, Offer up,

So you needed government assistance while living with your parents to pay them rent?

 

Sorry if I haven't kept up

 

Yes because they charged me rent no matter what and if I didn't pay they would kick me out.

 

Well, to my understanding, you cannot claim to the government that you need money for rent if you are living with relatives....in fact, the government encourages you get assistance from family, before taking advantage of government services.

 

Just my understanding, I haven't actually had to get welfare, although people seem to think that on themselves.

 

I don't know the situation but this was a month before when my own money was running low and I have my own separate apartment.

 

You have your own separate apartment and you're paying your parents for this apartment?

 

By "apartment" I think he means "bedroom" or maybe his parents have a "rental unit" in their home. Gabe, your OW worker knew you were/are residing in your parents home though right?

 

Yes.

So I've noticed but I learn from my mistakes even though I repeat them.

And he'll probably stay on the road to failure indefinitely. Why would he change, when there is almost always someone, be it his parents or the taxpayers of Canada to subsidize his chosen lifestyle. By his own admission, he doesn't take anything seriously unless his back is to the wall. He admits that he's not interested in looking for another job, or even getting more hours at the job that he has. As someone else said, his actions speak far more loudly than anything he says. I find it ironic that he feels so good about selling 9 comics for a dollar each that he wants everyone to know about it, when working just one more hour a week at his job would have brought him more money.

 

I am happy about selling my comics because that's what this thread is for but if I had any job update it would be posted as well.

Gabe are you still at your parents house or did you move out? I thought you had an end of month timeline. .

 

I'm still here but like I said they changed their minds when they needed money and I said that I'm firm with my beliefs and either you agree or kick me out.

If we all mutually agree to ignore this thread, will it go away?

 

I'll start.

 

I would hazard a guess that he is still at his parents place as he has been busy posting about the "end of the world" and sharing other not so nice things on his Facebook Page. About 8 posts in the last 24 hours.

 

...I think Gabe is starting to go "down the rabbit hole" on top of his "other issues".

 

 

 

Yes I'm still at my parents and the "not so nice things" are the truth of what's going to happen whether you believe it or not.

I've just walked into this disaster of a thread...

 

Dude if you stil want to sell a million dollar comic, you need to hit reboot.

 

You need to step away and evaluate your life. HARD!

 

Nobody else.

 

You need to get off this pitty train, eat some humble pie, apologise to your parents and go back to living with them.

 

You're going to get rid of your debt and you're going to learn from your mistakes.

 

See what others do.

 

They buy keys and resale.

 

Get a job and after all your debt is paid start saving. Little amounts here and there.

 

Buy a key. Sell for a profit. Use the money to buy another key. Rinse and repeat, but for the love of god stop roaming for attention and do something.

 

Best,

 

Bruno

They are my landlords and there are three apartments and I live in one of them and pay rent.

 

Everyone should really give that statement a really hard look and take some time to think about it.

It's incredibly disturbing and I wish everyone would read it before offering him any advice. Everyone should really evaluate whether they want to help this person. His page is filled with hate, conspiracy theories, and all around vile things.

No kidding. His parents have no money but have 3 apartments? He moved out, but lives in his parents' apartment?

If they're landlords then the money you're paying them for rent doesn't go entirely to them does it? I would assume the majority of it goes to the property owner, unless your parents own the property, and your parents would get some money knocked off their monthly rent. Also, if you are a tenant, since you're paying rent for an apartment, can they kick you out or do they have to evict you?

Juxtaposed with posts condemning others about how to be 'responsible' and/or 'live right' in which he can't see the irony in and "cutesy" My Little Pony and Anime .

 

I think there is more than just "learning issues" at play, even more so now than before. There was an "uptick" in religious stuff around Christmas too, hence my "rabbit hole" comment...

 

Gabe, you told me you had a counselor before...Have you discussed any of your "views" with her, motivation/job issues and/or what went on with your parents just before the holidays?

I've never even considered that I had to share a belief system with my Landlord....
