I haven't been in such a situation... but you said, "Sell any other assets you don't need for work (e.g. television, videogames, other non-essential and time-wasting items), use the money for food and debt service."
Is the $500 you're going to get for selling a TV and a video game system going to help that much? It seems that you should keep anything you actually use, to me - you're in enough stress as it is, you don't need to make yourself feel desperately poor.
Or am I missing something?
- skmurphy 18y agoIt's a question of focus. He is desperately poor: he's completely broke. He has talents that he needs to focus on making money. My assumption was that he still wants to be an entrepreneur: he needs to learn how to bootstrap on minimal cashflow.
