    Good old fashion saving up is so 50 years ago. Now we just make 10000 excuses why we can’t and do GoFund Me.

    I’m thinking of opening up a gofundme. I’d like to try a dozen of each brand and flavor of each of the worlds beer over the next year. Since I’ll be at various stages of drunkenness 24/7, I’ll have to stay home. Gofundme seems to be the place that people like me hang out. Thank you all for the consideration. Burp.

    When I got started, I ended up getting a grant for 4k from the state. I went to the career center, and went through the steps to make that happen. That was in Tennessee. I paid the balance out-of-pocket once I started driving. Why don't you see if Florida has something similar? Check out their career centers if available.

    I comped my girl 6 grand AND paid her 6 grand (1000 a week) to attend. I stacked boxes in a huge Walmart warehouse fridge at high speeds to fund mine. It’s way simpler than people make it. People are just #####es.

    The US Army has a 88M program. Some here have done it and succeeded. You could try that, the Marines has a similar program but it comes with more workplace violence.

    Hey, I love savings.
    I may be old school, I know.
    I don't even have a credit card anymore.
    I just prefer to be free, not a slave to a system.

    Ah gosh. And here I had the full amount he was requesting on his gofundme ready to send. That's a real shame.
