Keeping at it until I find a lender to get me through the next month! I’ve tried for a few different reasons lately to no avail, hoping to establish history with someone to help me through potential future ups and downs. Open to other terms.

Tried to use this platform a few times over the last couple of days to no avail. I think it’s a great resource with lots of potential and unfortunately many scammers. I’ve fallen for the lot of them. Because times have been tough I’d like to establish some kind of loan history should I need to use this again in the near future. Open to smaller amounts and other terms, just want to get something on record.

Trying again with a more "even" number, trying to get a tow from Abilene to Austin. My wife was able to scrape up enough to get me in a room last night, but we're maxed and I need to get my vehicle (and self) home. Hoping to reach a real lender today and not a bunch of scammers. My paycheck will be in Tuesday night due to the holiday. Thanks yall.

I'm going for the biggest return and hoping someone comes through for the money sake because I need a hail Mary right now. I'm good for it, just stranded and short of the cost for a tow. I'll even accept higher terms if that's what's needed.

I've been trying to get a tow since last night, and I'm coming up short. I've been roadside at a motel in my truck but I'd love to get home. My wife is trying to find the money at home, and I'm shooting here. I'm upping my repay hoping the get help.

Been roadside since last night, get paid Monday at midnight and will repay 200.00 asap

Stuck outside of Abilene with a broken truck. My credit is maxed, my wife's isn't answering. And I'm just under 137.00 short of getting a tower back to ATX. Just trying to get home, thanks y'all.

Whining below, but hear me out!

I've lived here my entire adult life. Two days after high school graduation, I drove my shit-heap Volkswagen from a small town and got my first apartment (720 square feet for $450 a month) that very day. Most people didn’t have a cell phone in their pocket. I rode a bike, and it felt like the entire city was a playground that could be survived on five bucks and an adventurous spirit.

There was no hostility, and even the unhoused population felt safe and easygoing. Oftentimes, I’d have lunch on the grass with a revolving cast of self described "tramps" at UT, or walk into a bar, meet strangers, and spend the night with new friends. People seemed eager to do this together, and everyone cared about the city.

Now? It feels like a struggle just to get through the day. The people feel despondent and sterile. The art scene is obsessed with some weird rhinestone-cowboy aesthetic. The air feels violent and relentless. The ever-rising humidity makes it impossible to stay dry and the heat seems to climb higher every year. Not to mention the cost of living.

It feels like my parents dropped me off at a shopping mall with a runaway furnace and gave me 5 bucks.

My ears and head hurt from congestion. My skin hurts from the sun. I sit in traffic for three hours a day and pay $2,380 to live in a “convenient” apartment. I can’t go to the Greenbelt without worrying about my car getting broken into. I can’t swim at Barton Springs without listening to some “DJ” and thinking about the dog shit in the water. And I’ve been hit on my bike enough times for a lifetime.

If I’m lucky, I get by spending less than $50 a day, and as a treat, I get to top it off by going to the library and seeing a man shit on the ground in historical fiction.

I know I’m getting old. I see it in the mirror, and I feel it in my back. But is that really all that’s happening here? Or did Austin slip through our fingers somewhere along the way? I'd give anything to ride my bike to Veggie Heaven, spend the day at the green belt when the waters flowing and top it off with some burger tex before walking through the park and playing some kind of pick up with randoms.

I think it's time to bounce, the city is gone or I'm too old to see that it's right in-front of me.
Where did y’all move after Austin?

Trying to make it from Austin to Abilene tonight to make it to a job, if I can fill my truck and get there I'll be okay. I can pay back first thing Tuesday morning. Let me know what kind of convincing you need

I've been trying to secure a loan since early this morning and I haven't had a legitimate offer come through.

I'm a 34 year old man, working in Austin Texas. I am a printer by trade and a mechanic in my spare time. I'm trying to get to Abilene by 10PM tonight so that I can accept an offer to work a 2 year contract starting tomorrow. I will repay as soon as my direct deposit hits Tuesday early AM and can provide any clarity, proof, or answers to any questions that can help me secure a short loan.

Trying to make ends meet and leave in the morning to make a job upstate. My last deposit will hit Monday and I will promptly send it back. I'm new to this so please feel free to ask any details needed

Edit: will return 300. I'm getting desperate and would really like the help

Im going to preface this by saying I know it sounds crazy...but I'm hoping someone else has some kind of advice or has maybe gone through a comparable situation.

My dog passed on Sunday. It was unexpected and vulgar. Due to the state of her body I acted very quickly in handling her remains. My brother and I buried her behind my house in a proper grave, which is pleasant enough...but we picked a "pretty" place by the water and not somewhere that she would have wanted to rest. She hated the water and never goes near the tank.

We live on a ranch, she has routines and spots all over. Different napping areas based on the time of day, season etc. Places she's worn trails from her consistent paths to and from. She enjoyed the run of the place to the fullest and I'm bothered by the fact that she is now sedentary in the ground and alone.
