$$$$$

Money really makes a difference in people's lives. All the guys in my apartment are pretty much unemployed. And we sit around all day and talk about how poor we are and how impossible it is to find work. Then when something fun comes up, we obsess about how much money it'll cost. WTF? Can't we just enjoy life? If we could each have work for only a few hours a day, we'd have enough money to do whatever we want and not obsess about bloody money all day.

  3. Your life sounds so sad.

    Buy a lottery ticket together. Then you all have a chance.

    Or better yet: get a job. Then you are sure to make money.

  6. Who pays the rent.

    P.S: Sounds familiar. Except that I work, I just am not getting paid.

  8. altie: wonderful advice. ty

    Cheerio: at the moment there are four guys in the apt. One works but barely gets paid. Two others are in the country on student visas and can only work off the books (and off Kingston Ave., so that the guy who's giving them their visas won't know that they're working). Both have temporary, low-paying jobs now. And then there's yours truly, who needs a job that won't interfere with school.

    Thank you very much, but we don't need Cheerio storming in here and telling us to get off our asses.

    C: Everyone has his own cheshbon with the landlord, so everyone pays his share of the rent.
