George hit the nail on the head. "at some point we have to do what we don't want to do " I constantly hear these excuses about all the reasons people cannot do things, not just about finances. It all boils down to people just not wanting to do things that make them uncomfortable. It stinks, but at times in life we have to just do it. It will be a hassle, hard, frustrating and uncomfortable. If work was fun, you would not get paid. I was a restaurant manager for 20 years. I worked 60 plus hours a week and was a single mother. I enjoyed the job, but the hours stunk. It was hard, it was a struggle, but, I had to take care of my kids, so I did it. I live in Texas and I HATE mowing my lawn. It is so hot. Each week I am out there with a mower and mowing that lawn. I could make every excuse to spend the money on a service, but, I just shut up the talk in my head and go do it. This sounds like a small example, but, we are faced with a series of all these things each day, just shut out that conversation in your head and get it done. Success comes to those who hate doing things and do them anyhow.

I mean I want these people to get motivated because they can do much better than this. But right now it's a mentality problem. Don't become the person who makes some mistakes, and then decides to live in the land of excuses, and then act like you had no choice. Dude, husband needs to get a better job. But also you're getting the second interviews, that means you're really close to getting hired. Why would you give up when you're that close? Really frustrating when it seems like they just want to select defeat. I understand it's hard to get motivated when you had a really bad streak. But that's what they need. They need motivation

It's only 800ish dollars to get his license reinstated. That is sad people are in that kind of situation.

[@unfairsanic5089]

Its more sad for people that they are making excuses just to solve their problem

The launch of Amazons AMS79X is like the opening act of a grand opera, setting the stage for a performance thatll be talked about for ages.

where are all these $20-25 /hr jobs they’re saying you can just go get right now. entry level job market is a joke today

[@michaelwoods4495]

Have these people any skills? Can they figure things out and learn? I'm 76 and a retired CPA and before that a retired USMC Naval Aviator, but I can figure out how to repair a toilet and shower myself. I've done it from time to time when needed. It's a bother but not difficult.

[@Enochparkcpa]

Sometimes at life when things are not looking good, you just shut up and work and work and work.

[@BarelyNoticedADD]

Yes, looking for work sucks. But being in debt with no shower or other running water sucks worse.

[@CarlaQuattlebaum]

@BarelyNoticedADD - So they've been showering at her mom's house for 6-7 months. I just wonder if their toilet is working and or how they're working around that?

[@chazzkramer7676]

It actually sounds as though there are problems she's not talking about. She's got excuses. Showering 2 blocks away at mom-in-law's is no big deal for a little while. 6 months AIN'T a little while. Sounds like covering for some serious lifestyle issues. I hope I'm wrong.

[@RahulSingh-v4c8b]

The gravity of Amazons AMS79Xs entrance into the market cant be overstated. Its like watching a supernova; its dazzling, powerful, and changes the space around it.

This is 90% their fault. Hard to feel bad for people like this.

[@mysticquetzal87]

so… if I got this straight, he drinks and drives, and she’s lazy…?

[@BusArch42]

Nailed it

[@jeffcrayton9596]

I dont think she was ever making 60,000 she was probably a waitress that got let go bc of being late to work

[@gailhoover9263]

Actually, she said she was working 60-70 hrs. weekly and making 60k. She'd be better off being a c.n.a. making 50k. Then she could pick up a part time job and make another 20k or even more. So 75k in same number working hrs.

[@tb0069]

Where does a CNA make $25 an hour?

[@mrsh2167]

many places now, LPNs make 150k

[@MrsMathews]

Not sure why she even called. She needs to get another job. At least around here, the restaurants are all desperate for workers. Also, it’s better to marry a man who is a provider.

[@halfmoonyogi4997]

There are these things called bikes and buses, Ubers and rides home from coworkers. I work with teenagers at a residential and when they get jobs part of the deal is they practice getting themselves back and forth. If a 16 year old can do it, this man child can do it. And im in rural Maine.

[@jaxx-ld2bu]

God bless you 😇💙💙💙💙it's not easy working with teenagers at a residential center.

Dave was right...they should write a country song!!! Lol!!!

[@Ahdbfbfbeh]

Do they have kids? If not they should sell the home, split up, and she should move back with her parents

[@annt2685]

Geez she’s got an excuse for everything!!Including that husband of hers.

[@danieldoucet9121]

She's not going to take any of their advice. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

things are different here. When you lose your job, you have no health care, hope you don't have a heart attack

[@hipostang23]

$25 an hour @ 40 hours a week annualized is $52k and OT is likely available and would be another $25k if she works 60 hours. I’m not following how a restaurant manager position she can’t find is a better option than just going to work as a CNA.

[@drewdelaney4166]

Girl has a story for everything. We all have a story honey. I served 10 years for the federal government and can no longer work at 38 years old. Luckily I’m blessed after fighting the VA for years and social security but I’m a mess and miss working and having fruitful career. Severe osteoarthritis of the spine, ptsd, vertigo, tinnitus, insomnia, depression, you name it I have story too but no one cares. Have to fight for yourself. Life has happened to you. Imagine what military veterans do. Some are addicted to drugs and alcohol and homeless. Many of my friends are dead. There happiness is neither here nor there

[@c2s2942]

If the pipes bust internally, the insurance is usually required to cover that from what I understand. Anyone know differently?

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

IF they had insurance. An insurance rep would have come out to inspect the damage; a burst pipe looks very different than a pipe that may have corroded or rusted away. It seems to be a racket that people claim a burst pipe, have an emergency plumber assess as a "burst pipe" and repair the damage but not document it (e.g., images), and then the plumber is paid through the insurer. If the insurance rep beats the plumber to the damage, the homeowner is on the hook if the pipes are not actually burst.

[@aolvaar8792]

Exceptions to coverage: aluminum wiring, Poly ButaD piping

[@coldnnh6983]

$25 an hour is 52k a year for forty hours, working just 10 hours more puts her over 60 without the stress, restaurant work sucks .

[@juliefitzgerald-frangos2211]

As a therapist listening to this, she needs some counseling . It’s normal to feel like nothing is possible when so many things pile up. She just needs someone to sit with her and help her find solutions and get some momentum. ❤

[@samrusoff]

Bet she's got a reason for counseling not being possible

[@strangeroamer3219]

Did you not listen to the whole call. They can't afford to fix their bathroom let alone therapy.

[@eemr8439]

These people dont wanna work period. Just like many other callers they dont want to take accountability just full of excuses.

[@LinzyLinz7]

Ive never heard of CNAs making that much. Ive only seen $12- $15 an hour. Sounds like a really underappreciated job. Smh

[@africanaissues4294]

I cannot deal with this caller! Jeez so chaotic I am getting a headache listening

[@amc5926]

unless she was lying about her 60K income......

[@jnixx34]

What a mess

[@user-wq5ws1qs7x]

$18 as a machine operator is pathetic. That’s at least $25 an hour these days. Fast food pay over $15.

[@SpoonyLuvification]

I was gonna say, big CNA energy with this call. They're drawn to chaos. Showering and taking a dump at the in laws house and she thought it was fine not to work since June

[@charityclark7910]

6:20: Dave, $25 an hour is $65k a year gross pay. (50 hrs a week)

[@macromancer]

OMG these guys are the real life Wheelers from "Night Court"

[@mikesmith-wk7vy]

If the market says he is worth 18$ as a machine operator just going and making 25 isn’t really likely going to happen . Dave just thinks it’s so easy to just go get a better paying job just like that , that’s the biggest thing I think Dave gets wrong regularly

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

No he doesn't. He correctly believes whether something is "easy" or not is irrelevant. When you've got to do it, you've got to do it, hard or easy.
