> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Grace \* > **And this is where YOU are wrong. She does have other things on the line. They’re called credit card bills. Tubagirl has admitted to being around $12,000 in credit card debt. Do you think that Mastercard really gives a flip that she couldn’t work at ABC Company anymore? Trust me, they don’t. I worked for a Visa/Mastercard company and all they care about getting paid. They want to ensure that they collect regular payments. How is she going to make her payments if she doesn’t get a job right away?** All her money here is going to her credit card bills, she doesnt pay for rent, food, car, etc. Gas is about her only expense. And personally I dont give a Flip about Mastercard etc! She can work while she is looking for another jobs she has lots of friends she could go work for in the mean time, it just wont be 10 Bucks an hour or anything. Oh and, I am not the Devil ok! > [@](#): > > \*\*Again, I’m not denying her a right to find a job that makes her happy. I just think she needs to be smart about her choices. Instead of encouraging her to quit her job, as her friend, you should encourage her to go look for another job. Then, she can quit. It’s called being responsible and being an adult. \*\* I didnt say I encouraged her to quit, actually she has been semi-searching for a job for a few weeks. I am just supporting her in her decision, like a good friend should do. Having people tell you what to do all the time, isnt exactly the way Tuba and I learn, we are stubborn (can you tell) and the best way is to figure something out on your own for the kinestetic learners that we are. > [@](#): > > \*\*IMHO, if she posts to get a reaction, then I don’t think she should be upset that someone posts something she doesn’t like or agree with. I didn’t open up her financial, marital, or living arrangments for the board to see. She did. It shouldn’t be a surprise then that someone is going to have an opinion about what she’s doing. \*\* I didnt say she was upset, I said I was, obviously that you would boot in give harsh advice to someone who you dont even know the whole story about. Asking questions would have been my first thought, to get the whole scoop before you criticize someone, and you dont even truely know her situation. I just ended a “Hell-Hole” job, and I can say that staying in an unhealthy place like that, puts stress on your family, yourself and everything else in your life. The world is not all about making money or caring if you are in debt. Its about God, First, Family, Second, Job, Third. I am sorry if your family and your homelife comes first but it does. How pathetic would it be to keep yourself in a job that is causing problems at home, causing a break-up? Its a job people, there are more out there. Ya know big freaking deal if you cant keep a cell phone on or pay your visa bill, as long as You am happy thats all that matters. Money is just an object, not something to get all worked up about, lets focus on the real issue being happy, the hippies had it right. ---
