The title of this thread came up as I attended a seminar. The host of the meeting incorporated this maxim of truth into his pitch. In his attempt to "seal the deal" some started to get up and spend there finances in hopes that there investments manifest prosperity. I unfortunately didn't have the resources at the time to make that choice. My reward depended on ancillary gains or the "show up trophy". But you get what you put in.
    My decision to leave my job and take the "leap of faith" towards the prospects of owning a valuable business has its cons respectively. But the question of will the sharks( bill collectors) get you before you drown( be without day to day necessities).Will I sink or float will depend on will and grace(being safe good health .,etc) As an entrepreneur if my business is structured right I can  create wealth and extend my hand to others less fortunate with my added time and finance. At my 9 to 5 making $9 with children and wife if I work much harder I may get a raise of $1 or more and the income seem safe and stable. From the employees view it's "guaranteed".
But the life energy is sacrificed for low wages to compound profits for people who condemn the poor right out. Regardless of my opinions toward the boss of the company and his lack of philanthropy his thinking is distinct from his employees which is building a self sufficient business. 

After leaving the marketing lecture I left early embarrassed because I didn't have the money to invest but laughing to myself brewing on the old concept "When the student is ready the master will appear. All caught in my thoughts I went back to a time when I studied Robert Kioyasaki Rich Dad series. Thinking further of his business friendship with Donald Trump and their successful business strategies. How his friend  Incumbent Pres. being knowledgeable about business , solid networks and American social perspectives open the doors for his presidency. 

    This era in America is even more an incentive and catalyst to be industrious as an entrepreneur or create multiple streams of income so we can have a contingency of sorts. My transition from employee to employer may phenomenal or dismal regardless what better time than now

Hello, I am a student in desperate need to pay my university fees. I am a foreign student and currently struggling to even pay my bills. I have a part time job as a server, but even with that I still don't have enough for all the expenses including for the apartment and the exams that cost a lot of money (They came up to 50 euros). I'm afraid that if I don't do this I will have to drop out, and I don't want that at all, I don't know what else to do. If you can, please donate, any amount would help me a lot. Thank you and God bless.

Hello everyone,
This has been an incredibly hard week for me. I just lost one of my closest friends, and unexpectedly had to spend money that I needed for a conference on emergency vet bills. I originally thought that I wasn't going to go, but I am feeling incredibly sad and feel like I just need to get away.

I know there are certainly more pressing things that people request money for, but I'm hoping that stepping away from here would relieve some of the sadness that I'm feeling.

I'm asking for a total of $500. It won't replace everything I spent, but it will certainly help. If you are willing to help, your donation will be appreciated more than you know.


Thank you!

Hi to anyone who reads this.

Where to start.., seriously in need of financial help,  have been in debt for a few years but it's so out of control everything is now at risk.

My home, my wife and child could call be lost if I can't sort things out.  Debt is over £50,000 and not even selling our home will cover it. 

This is been all my burden for a couple years, dry to some serious stress and depression I have kept it from my partner getting into further bet trying to survive each month. Finally it's too much and I have broken down as a cry of help. Within 48 hours we have received support from professionals on counciling and advice... its a good start to get the ball rolling on tackling the depression and stress that's ked to this but I feel so ashamed that I have put my wife and child in a position where they will lose everything..

I am on here as a cry for help.. maybe just maybe there are some amazing kind people willing to share spare money to help protect the family I love so much

This is my fault not theirs ...counselling is helping me unravel why I hid it all but without going full out bankrupt and lose it all .. only help for them is money to clear or chipbaway at the debt

Hope the world surprises me with the generous individuals that are out the

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Hi everyone. I feel quite uncomfortable asking for money in this way but it really is my last resort. I live in private rented accommodation with my 2 children. I had always worked bringing up my daughter and had intended to return to work after my maternity leave had finished after having my son. This didn’t happen, I was effectively bullied out of going back there by my employers wife. I don’t want to run people down over the Internet but a lot of very spiteful comments were made about my appearance and that I was like a little mouse. After months of stress I decided there was no possibility I could continue to work there as it was a family run business and therefore no one that you could really make a complaint to that was impartial. I have no family to lend this money from as the only person I was close to who could have was my Grandad who passed away this year after a short 5 month cancer battle. So I have been left literally alone with my 2 children, I went to the doctor after he died because I felt I could not cope and was placed onto a years course of citalopram 20mg for extreme anxiety, as I am a worrier and tend to obsess over very small things. After the death of my Grandad, I then found out I had pre cancerous cells on my cervix which I had lasered and was given the all clear. I also suffer terribly with back and am currently being prescribed 60mg dihydrocodiene for acute pain. These chain of events have lead to me being unable to work for longer than I had hoped and I have fell behind with my rent by 2 months and if I can’t find this soon my children and I will be at risk of eviction. My rent is £625 a month so I am £1250 behind. I would be truly grateful to anyone for any help they can offer and would be more than happy to pay it back in installments. Thank you for reading.[/color]

Hello! I'm a post-grad student who is in dire need of financial aid. As of now I am living with a very tight budget. It gets to a point where I sometimes have to sacrifice food for academic expenses. I currently work part time in a fast food restaurant and occasionally babysit for extra income. Whatever savings I have is strictly dedicated to paying my tuition fee and what I make from whatever side job I can take is strictly for the bills. I am truly desperate right now and I have no one to turn to. Family disowned me and has clearly stated that they want nothing to do with me. The money that I receive from your donations will be spent on books that I need (ones that can't be found online), tools/equipment I will need and emergency food money.

Even a dollar donation will be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my plea. If anyone has the time and patience to chat with me to just listen to my problems it would also help take some stress off of my chest.
