Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
It's really frustrating to watch a good friend repeatedly commit financial suicide... I've known the guy since high school and he's never been really good with his money... But the past year has been really rough watching the stupid spending and financial decisions kick into overdrive... It's getting to the point where stuff is getting cartoonishly stupid (like not realizing that a $1200 payday loan would result in a payment of about $225/week and something that needed to be paid back ASAP... Also filling out his W-4 so taxes are NOT withheld and then simply not paying anything or filing taxes when he learned in April that he owes a significant amount to Uncle Sam)... The guy is now one minor screw-up away from losing utilites and even worse, his townhouse... And yet the stupidity continues... I feel like I have the horse at the water trough, but the horse simply refuses to put his head down and take a drink
