Who here actually wants to come on here and admit they have nothing?

Question

Okay so throughout the years, I've noticed people all over the net try to claim they are rich, they know someone famous, or they are famous, etc. Who actually wants to come on the internet and admit that they have nothing.

Okay I'm 24, I still live with my parents :( I struggle to find decent work in my Appalachian town, I have less than $1200 in the bank, some of that money was saved when I did have jobs, a few dollars I'm sure are reminents of my years of allowances saved up for college.

Answer 1

Yeah you're right who does want to come on here and admit they have nothing. I'll admit that i do have money im related to a star whose pregnet at the moment! If you guessed good for you! Lol Paris Hilton is broke at the moment she'll admit she has nothing!

Answer 2

I'm 24, moved out 6 months ago from my parents place.  Started a career in Engineering and bought a house.  I rent a room to a friend of mine and I'm looking into investing my money right now but I'm not sure where I should start.  Right now I'm not poor but I'm not rich.  And that's the honest truth.

Edit:  Just a weird observation.  In this post "TheWoman" says she is an army mom with 4 kids.  Here:  http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...  she says she's an army mom with 3 kids.  So... she had a kid like within a couple days and is still posting on yahoo answers?  lol.  I just said that to prove that people still don't tell teh truth.  Even in a post about telling the truth.

Answer 3

I am an Army Wife, with Four Kids, of course I am broke.

Answer 4

Your question got a lot of responses, its a good one, you know my story, disabled, broke and homeless, I have several job offers in China now, I can work part time, have a free apartment and more than enough to buy food with - I just need to raise the money for my visa and plane fare now.

Like your new look my friend, I am convinced things will get better for you, so hang in there, you are in my prayers.

Answer 5

I am not poor but I'm not rich that's for sure.  I don't know anyone famous either.  I've got bils, bills, bills.  I don't know many that don't.  There I admit it...Now can someone out there that is rich please send me some money???

Answer 6

me

Answer 7

I have no savings and about $8.00 to my name.  I have some college but am in student loan h**l so I can't finish anything until I get right with them.  I have been taking care of my mom since 1994 when she had a stroke and then some additional health issues.  Oh, yeah I forgot to mention that I lost my job because my health is failing and my boss got pissed I was at the doctor's office more than I was at work.  

People lie on-line because reality sucks.

Answer 8

I am 14, and I live with my parents and brother. I'm a DJ, but I haven't had a paying job yet this school year. I have $2 in my wallet right now.

Answer 9

go in the military, even  as an officer.

Will solve all your problems

Answer 10

I have NO-THING.............except a box of unused condoms

Answer 11

At 24 I didn't have anything, either. I was still going to university, working part time as a waitress and bar maid, and spending every weekend studying and partying. I think for baout ten years I lived on water and whatever leftovers were in the kitchen at the end of my waitressing shifts!

However, coming from a not-well off background meant it didn't bother me too much. There's more to life than how much money you've got!

I'm quite a bit older now, have a well paid, regular job which is reasonably interesting and although it's not in the 'Lotto Winner' class, it's enough to pay the (never ending) bills and have a nice lifestyle.

Small towns are harder to find work in than cities, and that's a fact the world over.

If you want to get mor financial, you may have to move to the city OR you could think about setting up a mail order or online business you can do from home.

At 24 you are just starting out in life. The fact that you already have a college degree and some money in the bank tells me you are bright, intelligent and have a good future if you push a bit.

If you love your town and want to stay there, you'll have to work out how to do that ... and starting your own business is the tried and true way to do that!

If you decide to leave, it will be a risk, and maybe you need to let your parents know that you may be back in 12 months. But if you don't take a chance you'll never know.

As to why people lie online, I think it's just because they can! However, I also know that I've been called a liar when my life experience doesn't support someone else's argument. Really, it's online, who cares?

Let them be who they want ~ you have the same option!

Best wishes and good luck :-)

Answer 12

I'll step up and admit I have nothing!  I work, I play, I give to charity and I'm a happy camper.  Don't need more than I have and will probably sell pencils on the street corner when I'm old.  It's all good.

Answer 13

Well...let's see...I live in a decent house, and I can't say that I'm poor...hovewer, my step-dad is going to Iraq in a week. We found out today. Not to join the war. Thankfully, because I am anti-war, and I'm very commited to my beliefs, but he will be gone for a year, because we need more money....according to my parents. I won't deny that I can be a spoiled little brat sometimes, and now I will tell you the truth. I do have a $2000 computer, and my mom does give me money whenever I need it. Hovewer, I still feel like I have to steal. I know I probably have a problem, but I am anti-Walmart, and when I am pissed off I get the urge to smoke or to steal. I don't have anything in the field of love. Last 4 guys I went out with, cheated on me, and now treat me like ****, like I caused the cheating.I have very few real friends. On friday, I found out who my true friends are, and I am very lucky to have them. So I do feel rich in that field, because they were there for me when I was in tears on friday.

Peace!

Answer 20

I just finished my degree in history this past May, I am 28. I worked in surgery for a few years, hated it well loved surgery, hated the nurses and doctors that thought they knew everything. Anyway, I live with and take care of my grandparents, who are in their mid-80's. I have never been married, have not dated anyone in like 8 months, have not dated anyone I really loved in well let's just say it has been over 10 years. I am every woman's friend and councilor that I know, and nothing else, though they always say, why can't men be more like you. I have no job and have been looking for the past 5 to 6 months and I live in a town that is not that small, with the state capital not to far away. I only know one person who is semi famous. I have about $200 in the bank left of my graduation gifts. Well this could go on but I think you get the picture. =)

Why discuss any of that? Really my financial status and what not is no ones business and I doubt anyone on here really cares about most of the stuff on here. Why is it relevant??

Answer 26

I have no problem admitting to my life's struggles.

Answer 27

I have a wife who worships the ground I walk on, a roof over my head, a decent job and a few good friends.

I've got all I need, and then some.

Answer 28

ok i'm 16, can't drive, and have less than $500

Answer 29

A rich person only has to spend a dollar less than they make.

The funny thing is anybody, and I mean anybody can become rich.

Read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" to get your self in the right frame of mind. Read "millionaire next door". At the age of 24 you can do it.

Set some goals and work towards them. Not goals like... I want to be a millionaire, but goals like, saving up 6 months salary as an emergency fund, or saving up enough to move to a city with more job opportunities. etc... 3-5 year goals.

Then don't let anything get in your way. You will be surprised 3-5 years from now.

Answer 30
