I stumbled upon this site and I hope it works.
I’ve been struggling the last few months, and have tried cutting back on everything, but works been slow and I don’t know what to do.
I’m 29, and a server at Olive Garden.
Guests barely tip fifteen percent, if at all.
You can imagine how unlimited soup and salad can be affordable,
which means overall my sales and tips are affected.
I’ve tried looking for another opportunity, but with my schedule
being so restricting, I can never make the interviews.
The last two years, I have slowly but surely paid off my student loans
with my tax refund, and now I am at $400. I plan on paying that before fall,
catching up on rent (I’m behind $1000) and starting school.
I’ve always taken pride in working hard, being self sufficient and
getting by at all costs. This slump I’m in seems to hinder my overall
happiness, adding stress and anxiety in my life. I pray, pickup extra shifts,
and even play the lottery every other week in hopes for a miracle.
It’s sad when $2000 is all it takes for me to be able to breathe,
move forward and get to stop worrying about everything for a moment.
I believe in karma, and I believe there are good people in the world.
So, I guess I believe that somewhere out there, my post will reach someone
that’s able to help me.
I am starting a business on Amazon selling women’s/men’s clothes, sarees, kitchen and fashion accessories. I need to pay a loan before I can get a certificate and only have two days to get this money in otherwise I won’t be able to get my certificate. I will have to wait one year before I can apply again to start my business. I am desperate and have no one else to go to. I need ₹15400 Indian Rupees. Which is $300 AUD and $228 USD.
Thank you so much for donating and helping me, god bless you. You are a kind person. I will be really grateful.

Thanks a lot for spending your time to stop by and read my post. I appreciate it.
I turned 28 last month, I'm living in the suburbs of Zurich in Switzerland and work as a shoemaker in the city. My free time I spend with literature, photography, meteorology, 3D modelling and music. Since almost eleven years I have a lot to do with vintage instruments, especially electric guitars. With the knowledge I was able to collect over the years I began to deal with vintage 1950's-1960's guitar parts, such as case candy (straps, cables, strings), hardware and electronic parts localy and on the internet. The biggest success was brought by platforms like eBay, Reverb or Gbase. It has been a while since I last have sold rare instrument items, but I'm always looking out for upcoming items, whose sometimes are harder to get nowadays. Because this activity always gave me joy, I look forward to continue collecting and re-selling.
I make music by myself as well, started playing guitar/bass at 10 and had my first (school-) band with 17. During that time I somehow started to create a big interest in old guitars like Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Mosrite and Rickenbacker. Unfortunately I wasn't ready to affort myself a vintage instrument until I was 21 years old. When I finally had enough money I found a 1967 Rickenbacker 330/6 in Germany (Fireglo, Toaster-Pickups, original hardshell-case, near mint condition) for a very good and in Europe rare price. It was my first and since then only Rickenbacker guitar/experience. I right on felt, that this is the most comfortable guitar to play, with a great sound and awesome look. The neck profile and fret action (it never had any re-fret) was great and I immediately fell in love with this classic instrument. I now clearly understood why so many musicians in the 1960's choosed Rickenbackers and was happy to be another person to join the club.
So far so good.But happiness started to getting very low when a bad accident occured, after wich I wasn't able to work for nearly a year. The recovery took its time, in wich I fortunately could continue making music by guitar. Because I wasn't able to work, had to pay my bills and hospitality taxes, I didn't wanted to risk running low on moneyand decided to sell my Rickenbacker. Up to this day I really regret that choice, but there just wasn't a better way out of it. So I continued playing on my acoustic guitar, a present for my 10th birthday. I still have the same guitar, a Admira from Spain. I haven't played in any bands ever since, but kept busy with practicing, covering songs and finding my own rythm. I'm glad I've found an enjoyable working spot as a shoemaker. The income is absolutely okay and I can pay my bills. But there's no possability at the moment to layaway some money for vacation, shopping or partying. Since nearly four years I don't find it amusing anymore to go out downtown with friends for having some fun - I'm a lousy drinking partner and rarely into the maintream music. I kept concentrating on 3D modelling and music. But to be honest I miss to play an electric guitar again, especially a Rickenbacker. Why? Because it's a lightweight, playable without an amplifier, very good looking and the only guitar maker who allows you to switch tones between neck and bridge pickup via. an extra "blender knob". In addition to that, it's an instrument that'll allow me to perform my favourite 1970's and 1980's New Wave songs of groups like R.E.M., Martha & The Muffins (Canada), The Jam, The Smiths, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Talking Heads, The Pop Group and many more. Those were the stars of my teenage years, soon after I discovered Punk-Rock from the 1970's. I'm not looking forward to start a music career, but I at least want to have that single hobby for myself. It always was and still is my only valve after work or on weekends.
However, I'm regularly looking out for low priced Rickenbacker instruments all overthe world. I try to concentrate myself on one specific model, the 360. Besides the model 330, with a flat-top hollowbody and no additional "Rick-O-Sound" output, the 360 to me represents Rickenbackers recognition value the most. I haven't got the chance to try one out yet since Rickenbackers aren't very popular in Switzerland and the 360 with six strings is quite hard to find here.Now my last hope is to fund enough moneywith some help, so I could affort one of these 360's. Because out there are lots of vintage examples (some in the fabulous Burgundyglo) with very low prices tooand still available, I need to take this chance and at least try to get some help. Some vintage Rickenbackers are priced even lower than new ones with the factory selling price of c. $2499 (the special price of $1999 is not available everywhere).
With the lists below I want to show you how many Rickenbacker 360models are available to buy worldwide. The blue colored listing represents good examples from all over Europe and the grey listings those examples from overseas like the United States, Canada or Japan. New instruments are numbered from 01 to 22, vintage instruments are labeled with V1 to V7. The store sale prices are green and shown with its shipping costs to my destination (with CITES). The end result is given as well and special/extraordinary low prices are highlighted with a different font style.Right underneath I've added the internet link for each instrument listed.Below you'll find a little explanation about Rickenbackers factory color finishes as well.
Jetglo/JG = standard black finish, offered by Rickenbacker since the 1950's
Fireglo/FG = sunburst (yellow-orange/red). Most notable on 1966-68 instruments, but already has been with 1958-61 "Capri" models.
Amberglo/AG =sunburst (yellow/orange-dark cherry red/brown. It has been around since the early 1960's, is often seen on 1963-65 "Rose Morris" export and 1970's instruments. Not sure if it is a custom color, but it doesn't seem to be in Rickenbacker's actual programm. New instruments from the factory sometimes are described as Fireglo, but definitely show more of an Amberglo coloration. If they have re-issued this finish or not - I hope it will be continued that way. A beautiful sunburst.
Burgundyglo/BG = my personal favourite. A cherry red/trans. red finish that has been introduced around 1968 ☐. it has been kind of a rare "custom color" ever since.Most of them were manufactured during the early/mid 1970's (some early examples even had a "Burgundy-Glo-Burst", in wich the outer edge contours of body and headstock were much darker than in the rest of the finish). Also it seems, that the coloration in the finish of early Burgundyglo's was much darker (same as '69-'71 Gibson SG Std. cherry red) and getting brighter by the late 1970's (similar to the later "Ruby-Red"❋ finish). This color somehow never really got away until the late 2000's/early 2010's, but nonetheless stayed pretty rare and limited (Rickenbacker doesn't offer this finish anymore since decades).
note: if the links shouldn't work, just drag and drop. _____________________________________________________________________
❋ I'm not sure when the Ruby Red first was invented by Rickenbacker exactly, but I think around 1980/81. It first was a transluscent red , by c. 2011 it was offered with a metallic coat and re-invented as such. It is sort of to compare with Fender's "Candy Apple Red/CAR".
I hope you enjoyed my thread. If some of you Rickenbacker experts out there have something in mind I've forgotten to mention, please don't hesitate to get intouch with me. I again thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen, for taking your time.
So I've been trying to move out of my apartment and get away from the bad part of town for some time now and have been running into problems with bills. I've been paying EPCOR 3-4 times what I should be for power. With that in mind I've accumulated some debt to be paid off, and in doing so I've had to spend nearly an entire months worth of food to EPCOR just so that they don't cut off my power. Without power I'm unable to properly go to work, however with no food I'm unable to preform at my job as a construction worker full time. I'm now without food for 3 weeks because that's the soonest they can pay me due to reasons I don't fully understand. I would just need $100 and I'd be okay until pay day, I really don't want to lose my job and risk going on the streets.
It is my girlfriends birthday 2018-07-05 and I really want to buy this necklace to her, I forgot to buy her something last year, so now I do not want to fuck up again she means EVERYTHING for me, and she deservs the best.
love to everybody! God bless

Hi guys,
I am a university student from Germany and I work a minimum wage job, as that is all I can do while still attending uni.
Sadly it is not enough to cover my uni expenses (books etc, my attendance fee) and the rent I pay for an apartment I share.
Apartments are scarce and I don't want to miss another month of rent and get kicked out.
I am 21 years old and if I had another place to go and ask for help I would, but there is none...
Hello i am short 300 dollars on my rent. I finally was hired at a university as a cook and I have a chance at becoming a chef since they offer an apprenticeship. Unfortunately I have been laid off for the summer and have to wait four months before I have a chance to apply for this apprenticeship. I am working part time but it isn't enough and won't get Unemployment for another Month!
