I know my twitter and FA Journals are up and then down, What is that dumb fox doing.. After several confusing questions here let me pace it out for you..
Work: I work two jobs technically. One is a 6 day a week(54 hr a week) Night shift Job as an Assistant Manager at a Pharmacy/Retail company. My other job is a work from home job, I do day trading with my own money. I have had some really upsetting moments, when my mother died I had to draw back. But Im doing it again, I just passed my "Series 7 Exam" last month so now I can say im "Certified". I guess you can say im transitioning between "professions". Public Service never really accepted me because I was unable to get another job in government after 2008. So I took my knowledge and went to the dark side. Several of my Friends now work on Wall Street, thus giving me a shot at taking that exam :). My drive is I really want a better life than the recent downward spiral I found myself in after being Laid off in 2008 then losing my mother. Honestly I will do almost anything to be financially secure now..Im doing better.. I need more time to build savings without disasters wiping me out, to be financially secure.
Housing: For several reasons Including my father, income, expenses,Student Debt, Loss of most financial assets last year because of the financial hell losing my mother caused. I currently live with my elderly Father in a dangerous Public Housing Project Tower Just outside downtown Boston. I have a very cheap rate largely because of my 70 year old father who I support largely on my own meager income. He only has a social security pension, so the formula the housing people used determined I qualified for family housing at X rate for one year. After a year my lease is reviewed. If I dont get a raise this year(My pay rate is sadly stagnant and has fallen). Inflation will reformulate me to a lower rate still next year.. And I dont make enough money yet from the day trading to be able to afford a place of my own and take care of my father well in Boston(I need to be making $38,000 im told or have X,Y, and Z instead, and it will be a higher level next year) Statistically Im living in Poverty to be honest... Just another reason why America is full of suck these days...
