The Struggle For Ukraine

[Trenchcoat]

Trench, do you realize that you are in your "Peak Earning Years"
what kinda "peak" are we talkin about
how does it compare to some random teenager, who's working a minum wage job
and you claim you have knowledge and ambition
where do you keep this vast treasure of yours?
your peak earning years will be over soon, and then it's all downhill from there
I imagine that means yur retiremnt pension will be miniscule

Reality, Trench, Reality
you barely make enough for ONE person to live on
no phuqueing way you are EVER gonna make enough to support a family

part of the secret to making money is to "work yur ass off"
instead of workin hard, yur hardly working
merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream

My income will be going up soon as a result of renting my place out, that and a few more hours at work. Additionally I am going to try to develop another stream of income. My girl brings in a small amount of income. In the UK there is more support for families than in the US, free education, free healthcare, free dentistry for children, and done child benefit money, etc.

I'll get the standard State Pension which isn't bad in the UK, you can live off it. In addition I might get the Pension Credit on top. Other than that it can always be topped up with some part time work.

That is all a way away as I won't get the State Pension until I'm 67. In general it is good to have children in the UK as the government won't let them starve or be out on the street - and that means as a parent you won't either. All the homeless people are usually young single men followed by everyone else thereafter. Those with children are deemed a housing priority so they are never without a home in the UK even if it's just temporary accommodation.

I intend to do better than relying on the state for housing though of course, but as a base layer it's better than being homeless. No gender equality there for young single men lol.

you're gonna live out yur life as a Dicken's novel?
aye, here's poor little Tiny Timmy Trench, a poor wee street begger near Hereforsdshire
"can ye spare any change, me brother"

you amaze me once more Trench
a fellow of infinite jest
yeah, go have some kids for the welfare benefits
smart idea, no worky worky for Trench
just ka-ching for creating Tiny Timmy Trench
and the ghosts of Christmas past

PS
lack of understanding on my part
if you "rent your place out"
where are you gonna live?

I can see you contemplating this question
then slapping yur forehead
"DOH! I never thought about that"

Ruh-oh - time for scooby snacks

[Trenchcoat]

It's whatever works at the end of the day. There are many people here that either never work or rarely work and have family all on the State. The State provides rent free social housing if they are not in work, it pays them unemployment benefit, it pays them child benefit, etc virtually everything is free for them lol.

I'm not saying that is the way to live but that is the bottom rung of society in theory and living isn't too bad. Some of those on the social even invest their benefit money on Crypto and try to get rich quick.

With a house the maths should work out. We can live in part of the house and rent a room out to a lodger for extra income, possibly even two lodgers. I could even end up with a house full of Ukrainians if I rent out rooms to them lol. When hosting arrangements come to an end here after 6 months, 1 year or so then some move into rented accommodation if they can't find another host which is increasingly becoming more difficult now.

So I could become known as the local saviour of the Ukrainian people

Give old Schindler a run for his money

[krimster2]

does yur mansion have separate bathrooms/kitchen for the lodgers, or everyone shares yours?
lovely....

now, I see....
minimum wage job, dodgy lodgers, and welfare, is the sum of your ambition
you REALLY DO have the world all "sussed out" Trench
Elon Musk better watch out for Trench, he's building a competing empire

the reason yur "home improvements" took so long, was due to an absence of money to finance it
I would've advised you to get a "HELOC" and finish the work early
then use the lodgers to pay off yur HELOC
and you would've been done, long, long ago, and yur balance sheet MUCH IMPROVED this way, compared to the years you've taken, for what are likely minimal changes
but you missed that opportunity, like every OTHER opportunity you miss

PS
of COURSE, Trump is lying about why he's cutting off Ukrainian aid
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/hegseth-halted-weapons-ukraine-military-analysis-aid-wouldnt-jeopardiz-rcna216790

Trump TOLD hegseth to cut-off aid to Ukraine
to hurt Ukraine, AS MUCH AS HE POSSIBLY CAN, before Putin's "Break-out" planned for September with gazillions of gopnicks and North Koreans and Shahad Drones
you Ukrainians KNOW where the Shahad factory is, droneify it

Trump's relationship with Putin, is strictly quid-pro-quo
Trump in public office, doesn't owe the public anything, Trump ALWAYS works for Trump
and whatever $$$ Trump can SCAM, will come at a cost to the public who voted for him
just like Putin

Each bedroom now has a separate Ensuite. There are now three bedrooms in the house where before there was just one bedroom. So valuable in the UK as it means income can be gained from each extra bedroom. Most bedrooms for rent don't have an ensuite toilet so it should be quite enticing as I think a lot will appreciate being able to use the facilities at all times of the day and night without having to troop through the house to the bathroom except to hand a bath/shower. Potentially lodgers could keep a microwave and mini fridge in the rooms so as to have their own basic cooking & food facility aside from the kitchen.

A lot of work has gone into changing the house. I think if I paid others to do it, it would have been find quicker but would have been a little more expensive, to very expensive for a small house. I get where you are coming from and you could be right. I definitely wouldn't want to embark on doing this type of thing again, I have learnt a lot but yeah time over again taking a more financial route could have been a better choice.

[krimster2]

yet another of my predictions about Putin's war has been fullfilled

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-ramps-up-chemical-attacks-with-wwi-choking-agent-as-putin-blitzes-kyiv/ar-AA1HYM1R?ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=ea4b68f811d343789da15269d098aeb6&ei=59

this will keep increasing, and if no western response, no "red line" then it's gonna kick it up a notch with Novichok

dozens of little girls died in an unforecast massive rain/flood at a Bible Study Camp near San Antonio, Texas
that was built right on the edge of a river on the worst flood plain in the USA

when I bought property in Texas, I referenced a topographical map, and I bought property on the highest point in the county
common sense 101
all yur prayers did NOTHING at all
when just 10 minutes of ACTUAL THINKING would've saved every one of them
oh well....

dozens of little white christian girls dying in an un-announced monsoon like flood is a tragedy
but 51,000 people dying from losing their medicaid health insurance is a STATISTIC just like Stalin said

My income will be going up soon as a result of renting my place out, that and a few more hours at work.

If you aim low, you will hit low. When I was a young man I worked for my father making $1.25 an
hour. I got a job at a restaurant and doubled my money. I kept switching jobs always making more.
I lost everything I owned during the 2008 crash, even though it took over a year and a half for my
last kopeck to turn into dust.

So what did I do? I started over in the oil fields of Norf Dekody. I lived in a camp trailer in a dirt field
in bumF#cky ND -40F in the winter. I lived there when I flew to Russia to eventually meet Angel Eyes.
I didn't stop, I never stop. Wyoming, Colorado and now in Texas. Continually jumping to better and
better opportunities. Angel Eyes hitched her wagon to me and have made more money every year. 

You are aiming at the lowest possible rung on the ladder your big plan is to stay on the bottom wrung
but stand on your tippy toes?

Renting out a room in your house isn't a plan. I've made more money than you in every job I've ever
had since 1988. My 35 year old son has never worked for less than you in his entire working career.

Raise your sites higher and an FSUW good girl will stand beside/behind to help and support in every
way. Aim for the absolute minimum, then a man with more ambition will be noticed when he comes
along.

Aim higher, a lot higher, women are biologically, chemically and prehistorically predisposed right down
to their DNA to seek and compete for the higher performing men. The fatties, the disfigured and the
disabled are the ones who are destined for the bottom rung.

Make a better plan.

You think Gawd would have saved them.

Not good for the female to male ratio later in life.

You've had a tough life and worked hard Bill. I hadn't realised that you had things that way. It no doubt was hard in that trailer in such bitterly cold weather but you did well to hang on in there.

I don't know how you lodge all of your money in the credit crunch of 2008, maybe you lost your job, had money invested in something hit hard by the credit crunch or both. Bad things can happen in life and take us unawares but you did good not to let it get you down as it must have been hard times.

I think though that there is another aspect here, you say you Mads more that me since 1988 but lost it all in the credit crunch. So you possibly ended up making more money with that leading you to taking more risk. You then lost it all to taking more risk but perhaps those who hadn't made more money but stayed with less risk ended up in a better more stable position at that time.

If you have had a woman then and you lost it all many women walk out on their man in such situations particularly if it's easier to find another man it's an easy thing for them to do to jump ship. It happens during many recessions that women walk out on men who are no longer doing well even with the kids lol. They can be nasty I guess. I get what you are saying that there is potentially always the competition. Again it can depend on how easy it is for a girl to upgrade, for some girls less so as they age and/or how they are. Having a girl who is highly desirable on several fronts isn't always a good thing. What I've learnt along the way here is not to get too hooked on the idea of holding onto one girl as if your life depended on it. She is just one possibility of many possibilities in life. That even if a girl did leave me that there are many other women out there in the FSU and elsewhere who I could hook up with and potentially be happy.

I won't just be sticking with my job and renting out my house I'm just saying that my financial situation should be picking up then🤞

I'll have extra time on my hands so it will make sense to try and do something with that extra time to do work with and try and find another stream of income. My job is fairly resistant to AI so although it's minimum wage it's a fairly safe bet and many jobs in the UK are low pay anyway. My girl is attractive looking but she is around 30 or so, so while not real old is out of the very actively red hot late teens to mid twenties dating scene.

So things are going ok at the moment, life is life so I can only hope things will keep going ok and life won't bite me on the bum as it can do so. On that front just keeping up with work and working on myself will hopefully help to avoid that along with trying to make sensible decisions.

Russia to Involve Laos Troops in Its War Against Ukraine. Here’s What We Know
Kremlin is organizing the deployment of up to 50 Lao sapper troops to clear landmines
in Russia’s Kursk region under the guise of humanitarian assistance, a move Kyiv says
is intended to legitimize the presence of foreign combat-support forces on Russian soil,
as stated in the latest Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (HUR) report.

“Russia, hiding behind humanitarian rhetoric, is trying to legalize the presence of a
foreign military contingent on its territory, effectively using it to support combat operations
against Ukraine,” the intelligence directorate stated.

In addition to the mass recruitment of mercenaries from African and Asian countries
and units from North Korea, the Kremlin is exploring the possibility of involving so-
called partners under the pretext of implementing humanitarian projects in Russia’s
border regions with Ukraine.

Trench,
well, at least you won't be sharing a bathroom with yur lodgers
but...
if they don't have separate entrances, then they will share yours
and you will lose more than just privacy

what if Tiny Tim Trench, a poor wee defenseless lad, is home without mommy or daddy
and the lodgers are there?

now do you KNOW what you're trading in exchange for yur lodgers
yur NOT ACTUALLY MAKING money
yur just selling yur privacy and security
and yur not counting this loss, against the gain
IMHO, a poor exchange
I stopped living with room mates 40 years ago

There was a perfect storm of conditions, I had my own company, I lost more than $3 million
(but less than $4 million) I spent 4 years in North Dakota but only 3 winters in that trailer.
