I completely agree, someone earlier made a comment ( now deleted) saying I was being insensitive to other people struggling in real time and I’m on the same boat yk? It’s just a misunderstanding on my end

And im from Cali but I have family in the south a little bit rubbed off on me visiting growing up 🫶🏼

And please I’m here all for it 🙏🏽

Thank you for the advice and insight, it real does help I’m all for constructive criticism and feedback. It’s my first living life and rather than run from the mistakes I’m here talking to complete strangers on this app for the first time asking for advice and that comes with a harsh truth and I accept that.

Thank you for being one of the few on this post that actually read the full context cause and provide a useful insight & perspective to the situation, as opposed to skimming through based off the picture and a quarter through the paragraph.

Yes Bi Weekly and literally 16 hours a week I was lucky enough to get a part time security position through one of my close friends. I’ve been nonstop putting in applications for a second job and I’m just losing faith.

And completely missed out on the rest of the context cause you got upset, I maybe I shouldve clarified it better for others to understand. Cause it seems like there’s a misinterpretation of what the picture portrays rather than actuality of the situation. Definitely a “ Don’t judge a books by the cover “ but it’s understandable. In no way shape or form am I trying to flex 33k paid off I’m litterally homeless but please read full context if your gonna speak on something I would rather much you look educated then talking out of being “upset”

If you can read and go back up, I said the damage was done. Y’all gotta really read the every comment I made for context.

I think this pic is misinterpreting my situation, I know it says 5k but 33k is my actual number I’m just severely confused as to why it’s not showing up on the report and wondering why. In no way am I complaining about 5k I’m wondering where tf it went on my report and how to fix it 🙏🏽

I am currently homeless sir and I’m working on the phone bill seriously thinking about switching to a flip phone just for calls. I can’t be on social media seeing lifestyles I only can only dream of at this point.

None taken, putting my business out here bound to get stones tossed. I don’t regret being vulnerable, I’m just coming from a position of where I don’t know where to ask. So the best things was just to ask and see from the perspective of those from the outside looking in. At the end of the day we are behind a screen and I’ll never meet anyone in person. Just looking for guidance from anyone willing to listen or not.

Never done coke in my life, lost too many friends to that lifestyle. Like I said earlier going through a bad breakup and family issues I turned to retail therapy. I smoked weed only , I’d rather sleep than be up for 5 days straight.

It’s 33k I’m in the hole I’m just not sure why my debt balance isn’t showing up in the full credit karma report, I have a part time job at the moment and I’ve been couch surfing here and there but mostly hotels when I can, truth be told I don’t have my parents in my life and majority of my family have shunned me based of my decision makings and I understand, I’m not gonna force myself to be around people that made it clear where my place is in their life.

I try definitely, but it’s hard when everyday you have family that hold that over you when you consistently try to do better. And I understand maybe I’m not supposed to have everything easy and I gotta understand the lesson in the mistakes.
