I could, but it would be super tight. My wife, however, (who deals blackjack) works half the hours and always smokes my paychecks... I could always be a dealer
-
Yes thank you.unless you are offering help.
-
Yes, thankfully.
-
Nope, I dont have job and im in college I will be able to once im out of college though....
-
Only if I cut out all "extras" and luxuries in my life: like hot water and food groups not including Ramen noodles.
-
yes i do, but me and my partner share all bills and expenses and we set aside money out of our checks every month to buy whatever we want, just wait till there are kids on board i can say goodbye to my shoe collection
-
Yes I could but I only have myself to worry about.
-
Yes I can.
-
I have been able to for many years.
-
I have 2 jobs, one full time and one part time and going to college part time and for some reason, i still can't seem to barely support myself. So no!!!
-
Yes, I support my entire family.
-
I should be able to, but my lifestyle has only allowed me to support myself. Good thing that I am the only person I am financially responsible for.
-
Yes, if I had to, definitely.
-
yes, i do now.
-
Yes, I had to for just over three years, it was tight, but we made it.
-
No, I can't even support a church mouse on my salary. I get a grant to go to school and that's it.
-
Yep
-
Doing it right now. Things are very tight. We are just barely getting by.
-
i can support some one's ass to the unemployment line
-
sometimes ppl have to do this, we have been doing this for 4+ years......my son has special needs and it is not possible for me to work outside the home right now. It is a sacrifice we have to make and it works for us!
-
Support myself, wifey, kiddo, three pets, the local grocer, utility companies, postman, the guy at the grocery store who invites himself over to eat when he sees you have an Encore (c) meal, the local professional minor league baseball players, and, of course, because I have a two year old daughter, every employee of the Disney company.
-
Only if they like ramen noodles and a really small studio.
-
Yes.
-
Depends who that person is. If they need all the fanciest things and can't hold on to money then I can't.
-
I don't have such a mundane thing as a salary, I have an income from trust funds set up for me at birth.
-
Doubtful, unless that "someone else" would enjoy sharing a tent with me for a few years.
-
I have no choice - married with two kids, one just about to leave college, the second one entering this fall...
-
Don't forget the elderly on social security. I'm only 21, and I think of that elderly person as my son/daughter because they are my dependent.
-
Sure.
-
Of course, I can, I support myself and my son, I even already paid for my son`s education at the university- he studies law.Oh, I have forgotten to add my dog- he has fresh meat almost every day!!
-
Yep! Myself, two kids, and a cat that eats like a horse.
-
No.
-
i live on overdraft every month and am currently looking for more work. if it wasnt for tax credits topping up my wage we would be homeless.
-
Yes.
-
Do I have any other choice?
-
needs - yes wants - no
-
Yes. I already am.
-
I do... My cat she's a princess...haha
-
Why is my income anybody's business?
-
Yes.
-
No, not now. I have had to quit work due to health reasons.
-
I would if I had to. I've worked two or more jobs at a time to raise my son and grandson. I could make it work on SSI, but we'd be eating a lot of oatmeal, beans and cornbread! I still take in homeless from time to time till they can get in a shelter.
