You are a grown man living at home with your mommy. I would hope to god you can at least make a small car loan payment.
You're a grown man acting like a child, why are you still involved with this kid's thread? You said initially it was to help steer him away from a potentially bad choice like you made, but he already made the choice so it's a moot point- you're obviously not in this thread to help the kid out and you're obviously frustrated about how your whole life experience has gone up until now so you're trying to take it out on him, give it up. A grown man doesn't keep up such a petty argument, obviously this kid has gotten past it already, why can't you?
That's clearly a case of "He started it!" Who's the kid here?
But it's not even a "fight" as you indicate. The kid put his business out there as a lightening rod to attract certain types of comments and now he is getting them. It's the members with the maternal instinct and "glass half full" outlook with comments like "come on guys, grow up" and "geeez, why bash him", that are turning this into a back and forth.

He wanted attention, he is getting it.
Go save some whales.
Slight comprehension skills Jim? I don't see anywhere in my previous post where I "indicated" that it was a fight. "Go save some whales", where the hell did that come from? I dislike spending tons of time on the computer as there are so many things that far more entertaining. Such as...having this conversation with you face to face. While that would be very unlikely it's a nice thought.
Bottom line is that no one is trying to give advice. Many here just think it is stupid to live at home with your mommy when you are a grown man because all your income is being spent on a brand new sports car. I am not sure how anyone can see it different.

Yes, I was clearly trying to give advice.
Seeing how you choose to listen to your assumptions rather than the EXACT comments that I made, let me restate it for you. I am not concerned about what the kid does. Hell, I don't care if he wakes up tomorrow morning. The kid put his business out there and when you do that on a public forum you get feedback. Not everyone is going to be impressed with the decisions you make. Maybe you have no idea how forums work, so consider that a free lession.
So what would be an appropriate response when someone makes a statement like, "I pay the debts that I agreed to"? Is a round of applause better? Sorry that I do not see it as a big deal, it's more of the minimum expectation.

Obviously they do! Me and several others are proof of that. You must mean that I am being immature by staying in this conversation, stating my opinions and replying to comments made directly towards me. Maybe a mature person would just stop commenting? So that begs the question, how are you any different that what you accuse me of?

This is a public forum, deal or don't read it's that simple. The OP will eventually realize that too and move on past this thread.
