The "i dont have money" delima
11 years ago
General
Ive had a few instances where peeps commission me and then dont pay me because they say they havent got their check yet, are poor, on disablility etc etc etc.... Now i understand money issues but that doesnt make it okay to scam people. Just dont commission. You can live without art, i understand wants, but scamming and stealing from artists is no better than stealing from a store. Just dont do it. Now ive also seen a HUGE amount of "i dont have money :'(" rants, journals, and comments, and while i dont have a problem with them i just veiw them kind of silly. I was raised in a relativley poor family, and im always in the hospital (putting us in debt), but i just dont see a point in cryin about it. Maybe just because i was raised that when you nee money you work, if one job isnt enough you get two. Pretty much raised you do what you gotta do to eat, whether its unpleasent or not. So when i see all these journals of how "boohoo i no has money" im kinda like "meh. Get a nother job". Whats you guys opinion on those? The "i dont got money" journals and stuff. Im curious to everyones money views

If it were that simple to get a job, unemployment wouldn't reach double digits. When >10% of the population can't get a single job even working minimum wage, how can anyone be expected to get two jobs?
In my area, unemployment for my age group is 25%. It's one of the worst in the country. The "just get a job" mentality can be really frustrating when there aren't actually any jobs to get.
