    Hm. The ironly is ADHD and Dyslexia is far easier to diagnose in school-aged kids than in adults, so if they couldnt nail it down when you were younger Im not sure how they would as an adult. What were the symptoms the doctor recognized?  

    I don't have the papers on me and I would need to look for them later.

    Gabe, I think you have mentioned some learning disabilities in the past? (Am I remembering that right?) And these issues affect your ability to find/hold appropriate employment? 

    Did you ever have a diagnosis (maybe when you were in public school)? 

    I ask because in the US (so hopefully also in Canada) there are organizations/programs for placing young adults with disabilities into the workforce. But it would mean you would have needed to be clinically diagnosed. Do you know if you have a clinical diagnosis? 

    Yes, that's correct. Over the course of my lifetime, I've had about 50 doctors try and they either said that they can't figure out what I have. The closest that I've gotten is that I had a professional come and test me when I was in college and diagnosed it as a learning disorder but being that she didn't specify what I had and only gave the symptoms I couldn't apply for disability. 

    I've spoken to my case worker about this quite a few times and they said they have a doctor come in a few times a year so he'll be testing the people on his file. I did a self-diagnosis and I'm almost 100% sure I had ADHD and dyslexia.

    Hit a nerve?  Please tell everyone how this doesn't describe exactly what you are doing. 

    free·load·er /ˈfrēˌlōdər/ noun INFORMAL•DEROGATORY a person who takes advantage of others' generosity without giving anything in return.

    You said that you may only have 2 more months to live with your parents.  Are you finally moving out on your own; if not, what are your plans between now and then?  Or are you just looking for sympathy points?

    If you're talking about my parents I could care less about them. If it's the social assistance you're talking about I am grateful whether you see it or not or think I'm not showing it is not my problem. 

    No, I think they got an offer on the house that they've accepted and the person gave them 90 days to get everything in order. If you seriously think that I'm posting to get pity or sympathy you really do know nothing about why I do this.

    Yes, it is and since you're the one that tells me I have a lack of comprehension you read what I said again. She is greedy and selfish so don't get it twisted. She didn't do that out of the good of her heart but to sell the house faster. I didn't want to move any of my stuff upstairs because I didn't want anything to happen to it. Freeload? I pay rent, for the food, and I use my own circumstance to HELP THEM with food! Don't you call me a freeloader again. Unlike me, they have nothing wrong with them and deserve all that's coming to them.

    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?

    It's not that I pick and choose it's that I answer them multiple times and you don't pay attention. For example, I've already answered how much debt my credit card has on it multiple times so where were you? 

    Ok here's another thing, I DID NOT NOT have a job for four years, in fact, I've had multiple. I don't make a good impression to most people and one thing I hate people telling me to do more is to smile on the job. I'm not on drugs people and unless I'm genuinely happy I'm not gonna fake it. Yes, I understand that I have a lot of things to work on and to you, it may seem like I've gotten nowhere but I've improved a lot and learned many things. 

    So to answer this question AGAIN, I owe roughly around 2800 dollars CAD on it. I'm not making any payments on it.

    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.

    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?  

    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.

    And yet here you are, concerned that your "merchandise" will take up too much space in your room...  (thumbsu

    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.

    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. 

    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.

    You do realize that by charging you to live there, they are actually trying to teach you some responsibility?  You're 26 (if the post above is accurate), time to fly little birdy.  

    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.

    I read that bolded part and...yeah.  You're living under your parents' roof out of their generosity, and you have the audacity to complain about the size of your room? 

    Buddy, you need a stint in the military.  I really don't know what else to say.

    Out of their generosity? Don't make me laugh. They made it clear to me what they care about. Money is all and if I didn't have that I wouldn't be living here.

    Why do you think they chose to call it this? It is designed to assist someone who has fallen to get back on their feet. In other words, it is supposed to pay someone's way for a small amount of time while they make every effort to get back on their feet and pay their own way again. It is not supposed to be used as a crutch whereby the payee coasts on the assistance in order to avoid rock bottom. You sir need rock bottom.

    This is how it is supposed to work - Man loses job and applies for social assistance, begrudgingly, in order to feed his family while he searches for new job. Man finds new job in order to support his family anew and rises like the phoenix from the ashes of social assistance. Man is grateful that he lives in a society that takes care of their own and strives for success never wanting to rely on others again. 

    This is how you are using it - Man child chooses not to gain employment. Man child uses social assistance, for a grossly over reaching amount of time, to fund his meagre lifestyle while living and eating in his parents house. Man child thinks assistance money is his own, that he is entitled to it, and tries to use it to play around with comics, toys, video games and online elf sex quests. Man child is extremely ungrateful that society has carried him for years and feels that he should have more because he's the victim of social assistance and becomes determined to rely on others more.

    It is not YOURS, you're borrowing it from the government, the people, to get on your feet. You didn't earn it, someone else did. You are entitled to nothing, you receive what you do under the good graces of hard working people. At least try to be grateful and try to thank them by getting your rear out the house and making something for yourself. The people can't do everything for you, only you can save yourself. Get to it.  

    Let me clear something up for you. Taxes are paid regardless of whether you like it or not even I pay them as well. 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. Another thing is that you don't know the situation that I was in when I asked for assistance again and don't act as you do. If you so badly want to see my plans for this year then just go back a few pages and read it's not that hard.

    Okay, so here is essentially what you are telling everyone, primarily all the Canadian taxpayers who are currently paying your way for you:

    "I don't care enough or want to work hard enough to get and keep a real job so that I can, you know, actually support myself.  I would much rather have YOU, the taxpayers of Canada, through the income tax that YOU pay on money that YOU worked for and earned (and I still don't get why you people actually do that, but I'm working on it) pay my living expenses for me, you know, the not fun stuff like rent, food, etc.  That way I can use whatever money that I can scrape together through my various "enterprises" to buy the fun stuff, like comics, games and investing in cryptocurrency, because, you know, IT'S MY MONEY and I can do what I want with it. That's why I don't "invest" any money I can't afford to lose, because it's really YOUR money.  To sum up, I'm perfectly okay with YOU going without things you may want, but can't afford or do without  because you actually pay taxes so that I can use YOUR money to pay my living expenses so that I can use MY money to buy what I want."

    Next, I'm sorry that your games and toys were destroyed.  I wouldn't wish that on anyone, and I doubt anyone else in this community would either.  But if you had a safe place to store your comics, away from the construction, why didn't you put all of your stuff there?  I know you said you covered them up, but that stuff shouldn't have even been on the same floor where the construction was taking place.

    I'm also sorry your dad said what he did to you, but, take a step back, clear your head and look at it from his perspective:  He has a son (you) who is 26 years old, hasn't had a real job for several years, and his only ambition in life seems to be being a wheeler-dealer in comic books, games and toys.  Add to that the fact that in four years, he has not only made overall no profit, but has lost way more money than he has made.  Can you see how your dad might not be very enthusiastic or sympathetic about your comics, games, toys, etc.?

    Did I understand correctly that you are you actually getting ANOTHER credit card? Are you truly insane, or do you just believe that that no matter what asinine things you do and situations you put yourself in, that someone will always bail you out?  You already said that you maxed out your original card, and now, for one reason or another (none of them even close to legitimate), you either can't or won't make the payments.  How is that situation right now?  Are you making the payments, even if only the minimum, and exactly how much do you owe on that card, as in what is the current balance? 

    I can't understand why anyone would extend you credit if you're refusing to pay what you already owe, but I hope that you don't actually believe that you were offered that card because you have a good credit rating.  First of all, 591 is not a good credit score.  Second, credit card companies strive to extend credit to those people who should absolutely not be using it (like you). The reason is simple; those are the ones who can't afford any or all of the extras (non necessities) that they want, so they use credit to buy the things they want but can't actually afford.  Before long, the card is maxed out (sound familiar?) and they are then stuck with a debt that they only make the minimum monthly payments on.  By the time the debt is paid off, if it ever is, they will have paid way more in just interest than what they charged on the card in the first place.  That's how credit card companies stay in business.  What is the interest rate on your new card?  I'll bet the number has a 2 in front of it, and if it doesn't it's real close.  Please explain why you think getting a second credit card is a good idea when you can't or won't make payments on your original one?

    Finally, is the social assistance/welfare system in Canada, aside from those individuals who really need it (not you), essentially a get out of jail free card for anyone that is too lazy to get a job (like you), or have you just figured out how to work the system?  Here in the US, if you are receiving welfare payments, you not only have to actually look for a job, but you have to document and prove every potential employer you talk to or interview with.  In Nebraska where I live, you have to make at least 5 job search contacts every week and report these to the state.  If you don't document your contacts each and every week, or you lie and say you made contacts that you really didnt and they find out, you immediately lose your benefits.  In addition, if you refuse an offer of employment for a job that you are qualified to perform, you lose your benefits.  It's sad to say this, but it seems like in Canada it comes down to a matter of pride, and it's pretty evident by now that you just don't have any.

         

     

     

    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.

    So, let's not make assumptions.  Put it all on the table.   How many hours total did you work at Subway and Kelsey's?  What was your rate of pay? Then when you "worked for yourself" how did you fund that enterprise?  Were you on government assistance at the same time?  Were you straight salary or business owner?  Did you pay GPP on top of your taxes?

     

    What EVERYONE is trying to get across to you, and you for whatever reason keep ignoring, is that government assistance is not a separate pocket.  You don't get to say "O, this is separate funds then my assistance."  Liquidate EVERYTHING.  Take whatever you can get.  Sell the crypto, the comics, the toys, the video games.  Even the "damaged inventory" (just disclose that it was exposed to dry wall).  Take that money and invest in yourself.  Get your resume together, get a nice interview outfit, and find a job, any job.  Go stock shelves at a super market, go pick up carts at a store, basically anything.  Get money in, and start paying off your debts (your credit score is terrible and will affect everything from your ability to rent apartments, get loans, get jobs etc).  Build a nest egg of at least $5k.  THEN you can start finding other things and having "disposable" income.  As long as you are on government assistance you don't have money you can lose.  

    Off the top of my head I don't know how many hours I've worked I would need to check. My rate of pay was minimum wage. I funded the working for myself with money I saved up from my jobs. No, I wasn't on government assistance until Subway because the caseworker told me they would allow me to have both and anything I made over $200 bucks per month 50% would be deducted from my social assistance. 

    I would say that I was a business owner because how I paid myself was like this. I would buy and sell, take the profit and move it towards my next purchase, total it at the end of the month, and pay my bills and anything that was leftover was saved.

    I'm not gonna sell the crypto at a loss. Also, so because I'm on social assistance regardless of what money I get you consider it not mine? Is that what you're telling me? As for the resume I already have one. I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal out of a credit score, to you guys if affects everything but me it's doing nothing almost. As for everything I need to do I've already stated my whole year of what my plans where.
