Update on my Question About Money

Started with $19,000 or so from my mother's insurance policy in August.  Was going to invest it in something.   Didn't.

Now stand at a little over $6,500 after simply paying bills and buying a new laptop for work (tax write-off, but still an expense).

I just don't know what to do.  Thinking of buying a small house in Florida or something cheap so that at least I have something in my name, however with my shit credit I'm not sure if I would even qualify.

I guess it would have to be really small for $6,500.

As long as you spent it on stuff you needed and bill that had to be paid, then don't sweat it.

I hope those bills were near collection, to spend 2/3 on bills is very unfortunate..

Already pretty much in default status with Sallie Mae.  Monthly payment is about $750 a month.  Still paying off a car loan for a car I no longer own (thank you quality Chrysler vehicles).  I'm in a commission position, so owe the IRS $1,300 in taxes from 2008.  Just a bunch of little shit basically

first thing u need to do is pay the IRS. 

IF the money has helped you along for the last year, then it's been a benefit.  It sounds like you've needed it pretty badly.  Why wouldn't u pay your house note with it?  You've got to have a place to live!

I say try forex....start a mini account with 2k...there are threads up from over the last year plus and i been steady making $$...

I have been paying the IRS...I'm not fucking around with them.  Set it up so that they take a certain amount out of the checking account once a month

And what exactly is FOREX?  I've been reading the threads and trying to keep up..  is it simply buying and selling of currency?  How much stocks/bonds are involved?

Open a practice account at any broker,theyre free and you trade in real time with the rest of the market....its simply trading currency with leverage
