my babysitter's brother-in-law tried to commit suicide last night....

[srican69]

he swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills and is in the ICU right now. The doctors arent saying much... apparently he was in financial difficulties... He is a limo driver and used his credit card to rent the limo for $600 a week..

I don't know him personally - but I find it so unnerving that people are forced to take such drastic steps needlessly. He could have declared a personal bankruptcy instead - but the shame of doing so was too much for him.

Its the world we live in today- no matter how hard some people try - they can never get out of where they are.

1. The financial difficulties may have

been the straw that broke the camel's back.

I hope he recovers.

2. There is always another way. Some don't have the friends and support they need to find it.

4. The problem is many friends and family are in the same boat. How can you help a

drowning man when you are drowning yourself.

5. its just heartbreaking ... to know that people are subjected to so much fear and uncertainty

7. Your right. Some days I feel so overwhelmed that I would just love if god took me.

I see what is happening in our country and I don't recognize it and don't think it's going to be better for my granddaughter. I know we can't afford to give her that leg up because we are to busy trying to live day to day like most families. I know many families are one paycheck away from going over the cliff.

8. I am sure things will get better for you ....

stay safe.

10. Thank you very much. We all have those waves we must ride.

3. For the little people bankruptcy is personal dishonor, for the wealthy it's just bidness n/t

9. +1. We should be as shameless as our 'leaders' are.

11. Donald Chump's - Chump Enterprises has declared bankruptcy 3 times ...

he uses it as a business tool for competitive advantage

6. I see such misery every time I see a 'Payday or Title Loans' business

And our small town has so many of them. Many, many more than 10 years ago. Each one represents misery, imho.
