    What drives me is money.....I have lived on the streets, lost everything etc and never again will I allow that to happen.....I'm tired but I am still up at 1:49 AM listing items on ebay and headed to the scrap yard first thing in the morning.....Then dropping off packages for ewasted.....Then doing some clean up.....Then start over again......Break down scrap......List computers on Craigs list.......List items on Ebay......Send box to Ewasted.....THEN REPEAT OVER AND OVER

    remeber what Jesse Ventura said "win if you can, lose as you must but always always cheat" well maybe not good advice but it made me laugh!!

    God bless little children while they're still too young to hate

    Dude, buck up and pick your head up. As long as you have two strong arms it can be done. Be a full time scrapper. Work for yourself and set your own time. Network and educate yourself on the trade. As for your bills, cut back and get rid of your wants and only keep your needs. As bad as you have it, another have it way worse. Stop feeling sorry for self and let's get moving.

    Yeah like what everyone else said hang in there and keep plucking away. Try to focus on the good things : You have a place to live, you have a car, you are healthy, etc.

    I was actually watching this video yesterday and it helps to put things in perspective in my life. Perhaps it will help you.
