A wife got so mad at her husband she packed his bags and told him to get out. As he walked to the door she yelled, "I hope you die a long, slow painful death."

He turned around and said "So, you want me to stay or what?"

Hope your ski mask keeps you from freezing on your way to the bank ... just -4jokes.

I'm concerned about your debts: what kind of interest rates are you paying on them? Might some be for payday loans? If you pay $20. for $200. that's 10%, a bit high to use it for a year - but when it must be repaid in 2 weeks, that's 260% a year -- way, way too high!

"Credit"/debt cards issued by stores usually run about 25 - 30% annual rate (calculated monthly, of course).

Those cards issued by banks usually charge about 19 - 21% annual rate, again, calculated monthly.

If part of the debt was for visiting bars, I hope you found that a bit boring, and remembered that booze consumed at home is much less costly ... and perhaps you were somewhat repelled by the disputes/fights behind bars?

If your ski mask is related to a forced withdrawal from a bank, which must be done anonymously, of course, it must also be accompanied by continued anonymity.

Quite a tall order, that!

Lacking complete anonymity ... being forced to spend substantial time behind a different kind of bars is not enticing.

Give the whole matter some thought as to whether a less risky, and preferable plus wiser course of action might be carried out.

Do ya think?

@ ole joyful - are you okay?

I'm fine, angel - and thank you for your concern, and possible offer of angel aid?

I'm just working on helping a guy, calling himself a joker, who appears planning on robbing a bank to pay his debts, to find a less risky method.

With perhaps offering some suggestions to some other readers with problems managing money to consider some potential alternatives.

Thankful that, despite a recent 50% increase in rent on this rural house, and it's still less than a nearby family pays for a smaller house, not "if" but "when", without a driver's licence at 95, I'll need to move to the city, at more than double my current rate, I'll be able to afford it for several years.
