Author Topic: Happy birthday to me, and yet, my present becomes bankruptcy  (Read 2917 times)



So it's my birthday.

And yet, I'm not as happy as I'm supposed to be. In fact, I'm far less than happy. I'm scared stuffless. And there's nothing I can do about it besides getting a job.

Earlier today I woke up and was informed that I would go get a haircut and then go birthday shopping with my dad, but while I was getting a haircut he was going to go and browse a local Home Depot for a few boards for the basement.

When he came back, without wood, I was confused. As I entered the car my dad said "Sorry bud, your birthday pretty much just got canceled."

My dad's bank account, visa and American Express cards are all empty. In fact, the visa and AA cards have around $-200,000 on them. My family is officially out of money.

We have to sell our house.

Either that, or every single family member gets jobs and pays off everything as soon as possible, but that may not even work.

My dad still went out and bought me a Belkin controller and headset as well as GTAIV, but that completely maxed out my mom's credit card as well as my Future Shop gift card.

So I'm pretty much in a

":C"

state right now.

Oh wow, that's got to be bad. Sorry, and happy (I think) birthday.


I know how you feel buddy. I'm losing my house too.

So how does 200,000 suddenly go missing with no one noticing.

I say we put some money in your Pay Pal, but I have no money to donate. :c

Ow. I have oodles of munnies (Well, relatively), donachuns?

You could have waited to buy your gifts.

You need all the money you can spare right now.

How the hell do you get $200,000 in debt without any notification from your credit card company?  How could anybody even spend that much without realizing they were spending too much?  Your parents must be idiots.

My parents never told us about this, because they though it would put too much stress on us

Your parents must be idiots.

We're in a stuffload of debt for stuff, and we could only pay for it with that credit card.

We've been borrowing off of family members, from other banks, etc

And so far, it's an infinite loop of debt


Put the bill on another credit card.

Dont pay mortgage

We have not payed ours for a long time we can afford the payments but don't have much money left over

From what I see, your parents suck at keeping money if they can waste 200,000 randomly. At 100,000 i would stop spending forgetloads of money.

Put the bill on another credit card.
If their credit is even good enough to do that.

Put the bill on another credit card.

What I mean is, there is around $-200,000 on all of our credit cards put together.
