Can we stop with the preaching and move on?

I finally got back into my profession and started over. Moved to a new state and I'm just now recovered financially to the point I was 10 years ago.

Sometimes it's a hard road but we live in the greatest country on earth and there's always an opportunity for someone willing to work.

You'll make it through. I'm sure of it.

Yeah I am still very hopeful. I am only about 6 months away from getting my first degree, and I am testing for a very good job tomorrow. I am confident that with a little luck next year will be a great year for us.

Maybe. Are you pledging money to help the man or just trying to make a superficial point?

No. I'm helping to run a forum and you're degrading this thread. Is there a reason you won't let it be? Because I'm sure we all got your point.

I'm just responding to subsequent posts, including yours, which is the essence of give and take on an internet forum. I haven't done anything with malice or disrespect.

If the forum rules are that we just need to agree with whatever an OP posts, then fine. I'll try and avoid threads I don't agree with.

Some of your posts just come off as rude, especially the first few, and I don't think anyone appreciates it.
Next time, just try not to come off as rude.

Ok, point taken.

How did something so good (done by the OP ) turn into something so nasty by just one person's negative posts? :(

I am sitting here shaking my head and wondering what just happened :(

What's negative about wanting to help someone in a substantial, rather than superficial way?

STOP.
