I've looked at apartments for rent up there. Saw some shyt in South Shore just a few blocks from the lake for right at a rack. Looked at a condo in a 3 flat in Washington Park, new remodel, swank as fukk for about $1150. My mom's stay in a pretty nice older high rise on the Northside, her rent only $1350 month. None of those equal more than 17 racks a year. And all those are in decent to pretty good areas. I'm sure where this broad was living is the slums, worst of the worst. Ain't no way in hell 17 racks barely covers rent for some hood rat in Auburn-Gresham or Englewood.

Rent Affordability Calculator
This calculator shows rentals that fit your budget. Savings, debt and other expenses could impact the amount you want to spend on rent each month. Input your net (after tax) income and the calculator will display rentals up to 40% of your estimated gross income. Property managers typically use gross income to qualify applicants, so the tool assumes your net income is taxed at 25%. Actual tax rates vary.

She'd have to make $3000 a month and spend no more than $1000 on bills a month to afford something in that range. Having a 17k lump sum does not demonstrate that you can afford to pay x amount per month.

Ok I'll bite.

How hard will it really be to get yourself together with $17,000(And this is assuming she had absolutely $0 to her name before this, which would also make her a bigger clown)

17,000.

What do you need? A car?
Ok, craigslist, Chicago:

chicago cars & trucks - by owner - craigslist

honda accord exl
2008 Honda Accord, first page, $3000 sold my owner. Car is yours no payments. Car is listed as having no problems, get a mechanic to come with you and check it out to make sure. Boom.

2005 Toyota Corolla runs and drives great
2005 Toyota Corolla. New Alternator, new brakes. $2800, sold by owner. Get a mechanic to come inspect it with you, boom.

Whats next? Shelter.
The Gateway West Loop

650-475

This beautiful condo in the loop is only $2000 a month for a 1 bedroom. Again this is the loop. So obviously the price is higher. With a price like this Im willing to bet that you can find a nice apartment in the city outside of her shytty neighborhood for around $1100-$1300.
Pay your first and last months rent, as well as may two more months. Boom. You just spent 5 racks, but you don't have to worry about paying rent for 3-4 months or making a monthly car payment.
Total expenses so far:Car-$3000, new apartment outside your shytty neighborhood into a safer one, $5000.
Now you have a new car that you OWN and a home, but you're only left with measely $9,000. What now?

You have 3 months to find a job, and $9,000 to last you until you do.
What more expenses would you have.
Internet=$50 a month
Groceries for one person: $200 a month.
Phone bill: $60 a month
Lets say for the sake of the argument you're paying $200 a month for utilties. These are you're essentials and they're all costing less than $600 a month to maintain.

But I guess theres just no way for her to get herself together with that measley $17,000 hand out she just got.

She can spend the money on whatever she feels as long as the initial reason for the fundme of burying her son was accomplished. :manny:

17K isn't lifechanging anyway.
Sorry man, but thats bullshyt. When you aint got shyt it is lifechanging. Some dude from Tongo could set up an empire with that money. Some Filipina can make sure her extended family is set.

But nikka men and nikka women cant?

our black queens y'all
soit black womens fault that a black man saw fit to kill a 9yr old boy?
Work 2 jobs? She doesn't have to pay for a kid anymore( I assume she only had 1 ). So let me see, if people are willing to go far enough to murder your own 9 year old son, how the fukk does a car protect you?

If you know certain people may be after you because of gang ties, would it not be wise to move to another area ( even if you can only barely afford it ). Also is this the only poor neighborhood in Chicago? she can't move to another one?

I rather live in an area that causes me to work 2 to 3 jobs and barely get by, then to live in an area where people just killed my own son and I may be next.

which one would you take? Answer the question honestly and not try to skim around it .
how are you so sure she hasnt moved in with another relative until she finishes grieving and gets back on her feet?

If she covered the funeral, fine. But I would be using whatever is left as a stimulus to GET THE fukk OUTTA THAT shytTY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I hope she gotta plan, cause really, that boy never had a fukking chance.

Improving your station in life requires more than just an address change and a car for that matter...

But spending part of the money on a car is not stupid or a poor use of the funds...

I would prefer she used the money for a trade school education so that she has a skill to provide for her for the rest of her life...

I just hope she didn't spend it all on a car

Having 17k in the bank is not enough to prove to a property manager that you can afford to be approved to live in their vicinity. That's not the way it works, you don't show up and say "I have 17k in the bank" and automagically get approved.

The kid is dead and funerals are expensive as Hell. Personally I'd rather see her invest it in stocks. Either way it's a Hell of a lot better than just giving all of your money away to a funeral home and not getting any use out of your purchase.
breh did you really just say you want tihs ignorant bytch to invest 17 THOUSAND dollars in stocks? :mjlol: shut the fukk up


This bytch probably doesn't even know how to open up a bank account, let alone a brokerage account

Nah fukk all that. If she is really a target, getting out of there ain't a bad idea. She just lost her son. It might be best to find greener pastures and reboot.

theirs such a disconnect with mothers(from all backgrounds) and their children these days...

the "fame" they receive from a child being killed or missing (the mccains etc) makes other mothers try and seek the same results

and when a woman becomes a mother at such a young age you will tend to see a huge disconnect between her and the child ....

kids are always cute when they are babies,women love the attention they receive .....let a few years past though:francis:

I'm going to agree to disagree with that. Your assertion is that someone with a background of being able to handle money could flip it doesn't mean that the average person has the same skill. 17K isn't even a yearly salary from a minimum wage full time job and anyone who made that much would be considered poor. That in a lump sum doesn't make it anymore of a lifechanging amount of money.

Does it help? Of course it does. She's able to possibly pay off an used car completely or provide a very good down payment on a new car. She can't quit her job and rely on that 17K. She can't take even 6 months off with that as her source of income to change careers.

Clown ass nikka, man what is with you nikkas frm Chicago, do yall think Chicago is different from anywhere else in America? Who gives a fukk if Im not from there, the same rules apply to Chicago, as to NY, as to LA, as to Dallas, as to muthafuccin Boise Idaho. Don't be an idiot.
Use half of that money to get a new car and an new apartment. Put the other half away and look for a job. But I guess that makes too much sense for dumb nikkas like you.
