close to giving up

I agree, but what does it mean?

Can you stop paying those bills, declare bankruptcy, start a lawn business, or something like that, and hold your family together.

Maybe you can still afford to buy a camper buy selling your house.

Take your family and join the gypsies, looking for seasonal and casual labor.

Could you pull it off without scaring your family. Tell them you have it all in control, and life will be more of an adventure.

Explain to them that there will be people still stuck in their homes when cities start to burn, and they will be stuck, unprepared, and unable to find a camper to flee their homes. But you will be ready to take them quickly out of any bad place, where danger begins to present itself.

If the lights go out, you will already be on the road, and you will have found and marked possible safe places everywhere you go.

Be the captain of your ship.

Praying won't help you if you aren't watching what is going on and making plans to deal with it.

If you do it intelligently, showing mild enthusiasm rather than fear, and watching to see which way the wind is blowing, you will be doing the best you could have done. You will be prepared and way out in front of troubles.

It is economic and social collapse, it will get much worse for everybody than it is for you right now, but you can be prepared, ready to move away from any place that is about to be locked down.

my house
my wife
my son


i dont deserve any of those things if i cannot provide for them. i would rather sleep in the woods and let my wife and son be with someone who isn't a failure

Been trying since june to get a job. Nothing. Expierenced professional of 10 years, a purchasing manager. Every interview is a waste of time.


There is an ancient chinese proverb. Tonight i am poor and drink wine to help the sorrow but tommorrow i will drink from the river


That is my situation summed up

no job...everywhere i apply i get some woke 20 somthings HR lady who gives me a quick interview and never calls back..i can tell my skin color maybe an issue

wife thinks i have more money..i dont

kid has speech therapy i cant pay for next month


My breaking point has come dunno what to do next. Been on GLP for many years, love this place and turn to it in times of sorrow and boredom. This is a time of sorrow.



A prayer would be helpful.

There's literally no point to me taking a job that pays $10

Ill still lose my house and my family.

Start a YouTube channel and share your experience with others?

Then take the Taco Bell job and sell your house. Buy a cheaper house you can afford on a Taco Bell salary.
You won't lose your family if you can house and feed them... But if you can't afford the house you've got now, you need a house you can afford.
There's little point looking for a purchasing manager job, because warehousing made the job redundant with software that tracks stock via barcodes.
You already know your job was automated, now you need another job.

I am an ex truck driver.
Over the road drivers, long haul drivers are desperately needed right now.
I read the other day that there is about an 85,000 driver deficit.
My brother-in-law still drives. He tells me that companies are begging for drivers.
I made around $50,000 my first year of driving.
You can make more, just depends how much effort you want to put into it.

You can earn your Class A CDL by paying out of pocket at a driving School or there are lots of companies that will hire you, train you, and put you in a truck as long as you agree to pay them back over a year or so.
This is the route I took. Got my license and was turned loose in about six weeks.

It is a different and difficult life.
You are gone from your home and family a lot. You are always alone. Live in a truck, eat over priced truck stop food, have to learn to sleep any where and at any time.
You wont get to shower every day and the hours are long and always random.

But. It is a way to make good money, quickly, and without a lot of cash out lay.

Just throwing this out there as an option.
