Okay, so my little(MASSIVE) gripe rn is Dave and all his himness because istg he makes being a dumbass his entire brand or whatever. How you be almost 60 and still this fucking dumb, idk?
We got a very large donation on the GFM and unfortunately it had to be held for a long time which resulted in an extended van stay. Some of the money was released and we were able to get a fixed deal at a motel up until December 22nd for now. Nice. Wonderful. Whatever. The additional unfortunate part is that Dave is now whining because almost half of the donation has to go to paying mom's bank back so she doesn't end up in jail.
Because Dave bounced her account so many times this year that he landed her in $$$$s of dollars in debt with the bank, and then, in an effort to keep us out of permanent van-life as well as fixing the van's many recurring problems, she had to make the decision to bounce it a few more times herself. The number kept growing and she was only able to pay it off once before Dave did it again because he refuses to fucking read(and then wonders why I call him an idiot).
So she has to pay the bank back in increments of $200 daily and a considerable portion of this donation HAS to go to it and all Dave has done is whine and moan about how it's unfair and why can't she just close the account and drop the bank and get a new one? Like, how many times does she have to explain that the set up around her bouncing the account means she basically instantly borrows money from the bank without being stopped or given warning and that the money has to be paid back within a certain time frame or else?
We get it, he's used to bumming money off of people(for racing of all things) and never paying them back apparently, but mom is not the same. Until now, mom has never been in debt before. She's worked so hard her entire life to never be quite so poor that she ended up in debt to anyone, and because of Dave, that's been ruined thrice over.
So is it painful to watch a very large donation not be able to actually help? Yeah. It sucks. But at least, and this is the sad part, mom can pay off her bank and then have a clean slate if she needs to bounce it again in the future(cuz she probably will have to).
I'm just tired of this same point having to be driven home over and over. Like, he whines that his friend Ricky, who basically spent $3K from January-February 2022 to help keep us under a roof for the winter/repair our van again, won't let him pay him back, but God forbid mom has to pay back a debt so she won't go to jail over it. Common fucking sense.
