That isn't my dumbass half brother is it...40k? Nah..he could never do that, he doesn't have enough self control...in the 80's he made a killing building houses and got cocky, that was the first bankruptcy (he had a vette, Harley, swimming pool, lots of guitars, ATV's snow mobiles...he actually had seven trucks with plows that made him a lot of money). But he blew it all and didn't plan for the drop in new home sales here then.foosnark wrote:A friend of mine at work got himself into something like $40,000 of debt buying music gear in the 80's. He's almost paid it off.
I have only seen him once since he owes me a ton of cash (since 98, when I foolishly worked with him) but he told me then he had filed bankruptcy again. I was working at Daddy's Junky Music store, a popular local chain. I came back from lunch and saw his truck (he wasn't happy to see me, he owes me a lot).
He fell in love with the dan electros and wanted one (he could of given me that money
) so I wrote it up (might as well make something 
) and he hands me a check. I just started laughing, I said yeah right...no John I promise it's good...It wasn't (fortunately instant approval caught it)...I called him maybe a year after that when he emailed telling me he had his second Jimmy Page Les Paul..I said "you know what? You're an ass, you've always been an ass and will always be an ass...I'll make sure someone tells you when I die" (actually it's in my will to send him my original brass pick) "Until then stay away from me" Though with him I do believe he is actually addicted to spending money, money he doesn't have. It's quite abnormal, he's gotta spend or he'll jones
