you can volunteer but no one will hire your. You went to school to retrain for a new career but that only lead to more debt and still no one would hire you. You got a job but the manager fired you for some petty reason. You tried to start your own business but it turned out to be a lemon. You had family and people around who you needed financial help but you could not help. You were being cyber-stalked and stalked. You go into a store and all of a sudden the cashiers have disappeared and the doors are left open. You find yourself alone waiting for what seems like ten minutes at the cash register looking at the open door. Would you walk out with the merchandise? Would you turn to crime if you found your self in dire straights with no money?
Under what circumstances do you think an average person would turn to crime? Do you this might be the subject of a Stanford University or other study in the Central Florida area? Or is this a way of keeping immigrants and minorities down?

What if your parents had no health insurance, no Medicare, nothing like that and both had had surgery. Then your father had a stroke and needed 24 hour care and you were one of the people they depended on to help.
You did not really need a job. What you needed was money. Would you become a criminal or commit a crime to get money?

I am in a store at the cash register ready to check out but there is no one there to ring up my stuff. The door is open. I wait and wait and wait maybe ten minutes. This is the third time I have experienced the same set up. Obviously it's some kind of a test to see if I would steal merchandise. Milgram studies? Or is this something some group is doing to keep immigrants and minorities down?

There is nothing to done until a person has money or a stream of income - wouldn't you agree?

FYI. I have a husband who makes a fairly decent wage. However, he is angry that I am not working and will only make minimum payments on my debt until I find work or have an income to pay off my own debt. I do not need credit counselling as it will not alleviate my situation. My situation is that I feel worthless and have no quality of life because this a money culture and money is what makes quality of life here. My situation is that my husband pays off his credit card debt right away but refuses to pay off mine. Also I am on a tight house keeping budget and I am trying to cut back . Until I find a way to make money my quality of life will not improve. My husband is a computer guy who only need a PC and a monitor to be happy. He's a good guy but totally unaware when comes to my needs or anybody's needs for that matter. I know he is doing the best he can. We both are looking at our options. There are many. Credit counselling would neither help me or change my life for the better

I want my life back. I don't want to be used to promote a new American gang stalking phobia. I want my life back.

You know what the problem is? There aren't enough criminal in this country. I took a psycology class at Seminole Community College in Sanford and learned next to nothing about psycology. Instead we were taught what designer drugs to take, all about uppers and lowers, where to get our tattoos, and to always keep a baseball bat in the trunk of our cars. We were bombarded with horrifying images of the holocaust and all manner of shock value. There aren't enough criminals here! There are too many police with nothing to do. They want people to put in all those new jails they have built. They want us to go out and be criminal and crimes. Why else would they do this? They are trying to manufacture criminals.

I am an American citizen and this is a country of laws. I am entitled to work, make money do as I please so long as I am not hurting anybody and abide by the law. I have lived here more than 22 years and I am a proud supporter of the NRA.

I can honestly say that, under the previously described circumstances, I would turn to crime.

Credit card. People generally tend not to thoroughly discover how a lot they're paying in curiosity each and every month and what sort of it provides up. While paying off you are card would possibly supply you extra "play cash" each and every month, paying off your bank card goes to mention you a entire lot extra money ultimately. Paying the minimal each month will expand the period of time you are going to take to pay it again (for a few men and women it does not even quilt the curiosity ultimately.) Not most effective will you no longer be paying extra cash in curiosity, however you'll be able to want the larger credit score ranking as time is going on.. much more so with a brand new baby at the manner. A larger bank card ranking can support in lots of many methods, like coverage (that's different centered in your credit score ranking.) Kill the bank card... high-quality option ultimately, and the longer term is what you relatively wish to feel approximately.

If a person has accumulated a large amount of credit card debt due to multiple credit cards, the need for a proper counseling for credit card debt consolidation can't be understated. Credit card debt consolidation counseling helps a person get vital insights into the facts that can help him get control over the credit card debt.

Credit card debt consolidation counselors are experts with a good knowledge of debt management, budgeting and behavioral patterns of credit card holders. These services are vital for those struggling to manage their credit card debts. Also called credit counseling or debt counseling the credit card debt consolidation counseling brings immediate relief to a credit card holder.

A person seeking credit counseling can get it from two types of organizations. The professional or commercial organizations, and the non-profit organizations. As depicted by its name or categorization, the commercial organizations charge money for their credit counseling sessions and consolidation help on the other hand the non-profit organizations offer free of charge services. Just because the non-profit organizations are free, it doesn't undermine their quality of service. The persons associated with such organizations are thorough experts and have lived the trauma of being under credit card debt themselves and hence bring their vital experience to the credit card holder.

When a person approaches a credit counseling agency, the first thing it will do is to take stock of the situation and get various facts about the credit card debt. The credit counseling agency collects data about the income, expenditure and spending habits. It will guide the credit card holder about budgeting benefits and try to inculcate good financial habits.

No, I hold myself to a higher standard. I'd bite the bullet and ride the wave until things "started going my way." Once again, no I would not turn to crime because the chance of getting caught would diminish ALL chances of prosperity if I was locked up.

The circumstances vary depending on the person's moral and ethical behavior. This does not constitute a "way" of keeping immigrants and minorities down.

Personally, I would file for bankruptcy. I would never resort to crime, I would continue to look for a job. I don't think a study on this is a way to keep immigrants and minorities down, they have a choice just as anybody else would.

I don't mind stealing bread if I'm hungry. There are jobs out there, you just have to lower your standards a little bit. There is no shame in bagging groceries, or working at McDonald's; you should be ashamed if your not working.

It would depend on the stability of the individual - some can handle stress, some can not. I'm optimistic, so I'd be looking for ways to make it better, not worse by getting myself thrown in jail.

Good question tho

Usually if people want to work they will get it. It`s just most people do not want to work a min. wage job . If you are willing to do that you should have no problem getting employment . As far as your debt do not try to blame others , you did that to your self.
A very important principle in life is except responsibility for your own actions. And not give up and persevere.
And jail is not a nice place to end up .
