That’s good to hear ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Same stuff different day. Oh and i finally finished my unholy/blood and frost infusions for Shadowmourne yesterday. 8 years in the making hah. Just the shadowfrost shards to go.
Recently finished another book. Not like it matters since I lack the resources to publish, and none of my friends have time anymore to read it. Finished some artwork for it too.
Sounds nice, but now I have nothing to keep me distracted from myself and the reality of my bleak situation at home until I think of another story/picture to start working on.
As for WoW; haven’t played since November. Sub ran out a week ago due a hijacked bank account a month earlier. Been reading its news and whatnot, but I likely won’t return until they make the only class I want to play, unholy DK, fun again. Not necessarily numerically, nor visually, but mechanically; I want to feel like a DK again, not a generic AoE melee DPS. Until then, my interest is in Classic.

Life: sucks. Still recovering from divorce financially,
WoW: sucks equally class design is trash to where i keep getting bored and rerolling some never even getting to 120 but every other MMO is even worse that i have touched so WoW passes the time. SSDD
Well think of it this way. You can spend years feeling bad about your divorce or you can live your life, do the things you love to do, and maybe find someone else that is fit for you. Life is a journey. It has its ups it has its downs, but why focus on the downs that much. We have such little time to live, there’s no reason to focus on the negative
Tell that to my debt

Your debt will pass in time
Same, you get over it eventually.
With me it wasn’t even financial stuff with the ex wife, but rather my own credit problems because the wife had to have a house we could not afford and so forth.
So then I had some creditors after me, not paying them until they actually bothered to take me to court (often they don’t.) They garnished my wages, one at a time, but I don’t make a lot so it was a paltry sum I hardly noticed.
I think I’m down to the last one for 1900, which I just ignore since it just changed collection agencies every few weeks.
I’m living so much leaner though, with an apartment and stuff, that I have way more spendable money than I had before. I just won’t make the same stupid mistake again.
Even if I did ever meet someone, I’d flat out tell her that this is fine but I will never marry you, or make assumptions that you’ll help out with a house payment, etc. Honestly though, it soured me on the whole thing.
My favorite thing was how, prior to that, she always said “Divorce won’t be in our vocabulary!”
I felt like saying, “I GUESS YOU LEARNED SOME NEW WORDS.”
Luckily, at 52 it is very unlikely.
DON’T do this for a prolonged period of time. It can and WILL have serious consequences including but not limited too extended hospital stays and mental and body damage. Sleep is MASSIVELY important to the body and mind and cannot be underestimated.
Speaking from experience without going into detail. Please don’t do this for a long period of time.
Too late, blame the government for being to greedy
The government is not forcing you to do anything. Change is change and you have to roll with it, you also have the choice to sleep. At the end of the day it is up to you.
It’s the government thinking that students have the $$ to pay for school. I’ve been looking for scholarships day and night because of them
It isn’t the government thinking anything. It is your CHOICE to go to school for whatever degree you are going for. It is your CHOICE to not sleep.
You are obviously free to choose who or whatever you want to blame but at the end of the day the personal accountability lies with you and your choices…has nothing to do with the government. The system is what it is and you have to figure out how to navigate your way through it or go around it or…not participate in that particular system.
A college degree is only of limited value, it does have value but it is not the only way to financial or life success however you define that.

Don’t have a degree, you don’t get a good job that supports you. Only the lucky few get a good job that supports themselves without a degree
Not true, not even close to true. Of course that depends on your definition of a “good job”. Lots and LOTS of jobs you can do and support you and your family with that require no degree.
The college and university system can only educate something like 24% of the population (it has been a long time since i read up on this but it is nowhere near the entire population), you think the other 76% live in poverty and dire consequences because they have no degree?
Look i am not here to have some larger discussion about the value of a college degree, i will say there are 10’s of millions of people in America that don’t have college degree’s and do just fine every day.
Furthermore if you are worried about wealth, some of the wealthiest people to ever live never had a degree, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or going back in time Thomas Edison. There are many many ways to financial success and college is in no way a requirement, the only limitation is you.
Remember what i said about sleep, it is important and at the end of the day you need it to have a healthy and happy future.

Plenty of people work two jobs to support themselves. There’s avenues for self-scheduled work, too (i.e. being a driver for Uber, Lyft, or Doordash). Other options exist, like trade school programs or even apprenticeships. I found a carpentry apprenticeship that even offered your own tools back in my hometown before I finally decided on enlisting in the US Armed Forces.
Yes there’s jobs, but if you want to make a decent living, you must get a degree, even if you don’t use that degree.
And a decent amount of $$$ is needed, especially here in AZ where costs keep going up
You’re not even trying to absorb what Motors is trying to tell you. Find some roommates. Apply for jobs. One job isn’t enough? Get another one. Find a trade program, there’s also companies with things like assistance for school. The company I work for right now, UPS, they offer its workers assistance for school.
You know who else offers assistance with school? The military.
There are options and you’re just willfully not seeing them.

Sorry to break it to you but no you don’t have to get a degree to make a decent living. Again that depends on what a “decent living” is to you, but all a degree does is open doors within companies that might not be open otherwise…that is ALL it does.
As far as money needed in AZ, Arizona is a relatively cheap place to live in the country. It was only 24th in the nation of 50 states. Also the cost keeps going up no matter where you live, that is inflation.
Look, you do you, if you want to believe the government is doing this to you and you want to believe that college is a necessity to be a success, that is all a you thing. Good luck with that.
If and or when you are ready to look outside the box or take a wider look around than college is a must, you will see…or maybe you never will because you are not ready to open your eyes to the possibilities of what is out there and possible. That is all a you thing and your limitations you put on yourself.

Because college IS required. Here in AZ if you don’t have a bachelor’s in anything, you’re going nowhere.
Trust me, whole family has had this experience many times
