Well no fuckin duh, you've been working with computers for how long
and you don't even comprehend something as simplistic as laptop
prices? Laptops are pretty much worthless the day you buy them and
spending four thousand on a laptop in the first place is
just...retarded at best. You should never pay more than $1200 for a
laptop and after you buy it expect its worth to drop instantly to $800
and then down to $500 within three years.

Also, you might not want to kick your kids out of the house...but they
might be better for it. I would give them an ultimatum...either get a
job...or get out. And once they get a job they can help out if
they're gonna live with you. Your situation is retarded at best, I
mean you've got four physically capable adults and you're pulling in
less than $500...that's fuckin insane. Hell I only work four days a
week at Wal*Mart and I make around $1300 a month. If all four adults
were working semi-decent jobs you'd easily have around $5,000 a month.
That's called working synergistically. It doesn't work though when
only one or two have a job and the other one or two are just free
loading. Further...taking out a mortgage on your house to pay for
your kids wedding...that's absolutely fucking crazy to the nth degree.
I mean you literarily have got to be just about the dumbest mother
fucker to do something THAT inane. I mean, what the hell were you
thinking?

The sad thing about your situation is that you really are in an ideal
position to better your situation...but only if the dumbfuck kids stop
freeloading. It's sort of like right now my mom and I are sharing a
three bedroom apartment...I pay the rent...and she pays the utility
bills. The best part is, it saves the both of us a lot of money which
we then put into savings and such. The other thing I do is have $75
per paycheck taken out and put into Wal*Mart stock, which is a nice,
automated "forced savings".

Right now I'm gearing up to buy my own home too, with my mom staying
with me until she pays off her land in Colorado (she can't build
anything on it until the land is paid off). So the nice advantage
there for me is that she's gonna keep paying the utilities so that
means I'll have enough extra money to buy a washer/dryer and so forth
and she'll be able to pay off her land quicker. Again, working
synergistically to both of our advantages. If only ONE of us was
working though...yeah, it wouldn't be a happy place for either of us.

Also, education is the key to saving money. For example...don't buy a
used car unless you can repair it yourself...cause otherwise yer just
gonna be fuckin yerself up the ass sidways. They've got
auto-mechanics courses at most community colleges...so sign yerself up
for classes and learn the shit...same way you learned about computer
tech. Just as those who can build their own computer can save
themselves a buttload of money, those who can fix/repair their own car
can also save a buttload of money.

Also the more skills you have the more "marketable" you are. Like I
do a lot of rudimentary tech stuff for people I know and only charge
them $20 for it. They get a good deal cause the repair shops charge
around $50 and it's a good deal for me because it doesn't really take
any real time or effort to fix the problems.
