[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lost my job when the economy tanked in 2008. [b]We maxed out credit cards, took a $40,000 loan, defaulted on my credit cards and loan[/b], moved from a house in a nice neighborhood into an apartment in a shitty one, lost our nice car and bought a piece of junk (repeat a bunch of times since cheap used cars break down quickly) and [b]still haven't gotten any government hand outs[/b]. We are still taking care of ourselves.

Get a crap job, OP. Deliver food for Uber or some other bottom of the barrel job if that's what you have to do while you look for something better. I think getting on welfare is the end of the line. I would not risk it.[/quote]

I just want to point out that you HAD a credit card to max out (and then default on).  How much was that?  And on top of that, you had decent enough credit to be extended a $40,000 loan.  Which you also defaulted on.

So, you didn't need any government handouts, but you DID need that money.   Which you never repaid.

What would you have lived on, if you had not had a credit card and if you had not been approved for a loan?

That's probably the situation of people who are getting government handouts.  No credit card and no one will give them a $40,000 loan![/quote]
