Man, You make a lot of sense.
I would talk to a friend HONESTLY. If I didn't, they would continue on there ways of not being responsible. Eventually they become a burden on my daily life. Yes, I help folks out, but I take care of me first. I did what Matty did, and wound up without myself.
I CAN'T CHANGE THEM. They have to want to change themselves.
I'd say that matty got the reaction that might be expected, announcing to the world that he was gonna get a buddy to bail his a.ss with a $200K gentlemen's loan. He could be fulla b.s. (matty?!?!) but if it were me, I'd keep that kind of news to myself.
Not sure how serious this whole thread is, but I'll add this. Bankruptcy will not take care of most of your tax issues...especially with the feds.
Great point LW! The other thing that I forgot to add since I'm a pPompous A@*! It doesn't matter who says what about your art, if it doesn't sell and you can't pay your bills, just get a job! I wouldn't base your life around an opinion of one person no matter who they are. If this is BS then good for Matt! If not, Wake Up Man! Your through hike is over!
Man, if you've got someone who'll loan you $200k go for it. I'm assuming that's how your network of friends and associates do things. Not everyone operates using the same set of values and who am I to say what you need to do.
It's not my world but hey... pass the croissants.
