Why do people assume that the rich unemployed are drug dealers? Plenty of ways to be unemployed & rich...here are just a few....
Retired footballers
Internet kids who have just sold their company (well, 2 years ago)
Successful business people who have just sold their companies
Actors in between jobs
People who have inherited a fortune
People who have won the lottery
People who play the stock markets (don't need to have a daytime job)
etc etc...

PIMP - Joke.
I will have in my and a nice cheque for £35k this Friday....all for buying a house and renting out for 3 years. (I have lived there too
)
I might do it again when I have more confidence in the housing market.
Easy money.

Credit cards are the work of Satan.
If you can not pay off every month what you owe - then you are in debt and spend more money than you earn.
If you can't afford it, don't buy it! I shudder to think of the debt people are in on this website!

I wish 
Makes me wonder how some of these young'ns can afford scoobs. At 31 years of age I've only really had the cash for a scoob (MY00) the last year or so since getting a car allowance at work (underpaid, overworked electronics engineer). Moved out of my parents aged 18 to go to uni, never moved back, and still renting. Wish I had bought a house a few years back now, property market is way too scary at the moment.
Oh well must come up with the next big thing and make my millions (Note to self buy lottery ticket)

23 had scoob for 10 months, just about to buy my second house, once I can sell the first.
Had a baby at 20 while still at uni, and have not had a weekend off in the last 2 months, and have not had a none working holiday for 17 months now!!!! My secret is to work all the time, and when not at work, work for someone else. There is nothing like taking time off work to do another job for a few days.
I do need a proper holiday

19 Years Old (Almost 20 
) and work over 100 hours a week. 80 hours offshore on the IOM for IT/DCS getting paid very well and 20 hours a week in my local bar (IOM Rate £8.90 per hour) to pay for my one passion, CARS! I own a SLK modified too. Just something I enjoy, spend alot of money on and am happy
Dont own my own house. Market aint right to enter at this time! So rent a nice 3 bedroom pad in overlooking Promenade In Douglas.
Its a life and I enjoy it! Very hard work though.
Its not a bull story either. See SIDC Forums. And M0NEY knows me quite well too

I could work 12 hours a day if i wanted.....but its cr@p money even working those hours. If i was to work 100 hours a week-i don't think that would be too fair on the bf as i'd never see him-although he might disagree LOL. I thought you had all won the lottery.
You mean its all down to hard work? [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] dammit!
