That's because many of us don't pussyfoot around and sugar-coat issues. So, it sometimes comes across as harsher than it's meant to. :)
Yeah..im trying to work on my tact otherwise my good intentions n caring come off harsh :)

Joe, even if she doesn’t give you a sob story, don’t give her any more money regardless of the reason.
Yeah I know this is the final test to see if she is after my money, see I am going to explain to her how I'm low on money and need that money for food and other necessities and can't give anymore until payday, if she asks me for any money before then, well then it's all over for sure.

NOOOO... Don't tell her "until payday". Otherwise it will ask you for money EVERY payday.. Just tell her you can't afford to help her anymore at all..

Joe, the phone data excuse is just that, an excuse so you'll feel sorry that she'll lose her phone if you don't give her money.. This "girl" most likely isn't a girl at all. I had a scammer contact me on here not too long ago. His avatar was supposedly of himself, right? WRONG. He got exposed as a Nigerian scammer and the pic he sent me and Jewel and others here, showed an AMERICAN guy.. You are being used by this person, Joe..

Also, like I said earlier, phone plans give generous amounts of minutes, that if used wisely, should last all MONTH. Unless it's on the phone scamming other people also. :/

Well actually I have had many phone plans, tmobile/sprint, cricket, and not all are so "cheap" and generous, for text and talk sure but, data not always like for instance my old phone I paid $33 dollars every month for talk text and unlimited data but, only 3 gigs until it would slow in just about 3 days to where I would have to sit on pages even Christian chat for minutes to hours just for one page to load for a monthly data plan that would not slow so quickly was $55 and I guess adding tax would be about $70( had to buy phone cards)
Where as with cricket I paid a crazy total of $247 dollars for service, talk text and unlimited data plan with less slowing of loading time(it doesn't buffer or take hours loading pages or things like videos on youtube) a phone, a phone case and a phone grasper thing on the back.

Joe, if you (general you) use phone minutes wisely, and don't waste them all, they should last you until the next month. But if you're talking, texting and watching videos on it, then yes that WILL eat up the minutes very fast. My unused minutes roll over every month, meaning I don't lose them. I currently have 7,626.32 minutes on my phone.. :)

Obviously this person is doing something on the phone that eats them up quickly.

Lol yeah you got that right I mean at work I see people texting every second or watching videos on the job as if they can't wait to get home I don't use my phone typically at phone unless I am on lunch break, don't have anything to do(if the machines don't start up for awhile then there's nothing to do aside from maybe go to the bath room or get a snack while having opportunity for necessity) or if I need to call my relative to pick me up from work.
Oh and it's not limited to young people there's a guy at my work that is like 70 and messes up the machine and why?
Because he's on the phone texting not paying attention I can hardly stand it to see that I and a few others work hard while others practically sit around and some get payed more than I do(full timers not doing their jobs and not being fired because the company is too cheap and has poor management)

Joe, you really don’t have to explain to her why you can’t send her money. Just say “It’s not in my budget,” and leave it as is.

Also we talked about how that I need a better paying job because it's just not worth $8 an hour killing my back lifting heavy papers, one jerk turned up the speed on the machines and on top of that I didn't have a pallet jack to lift the pallet of papers so I had to over work my body, my back got tweeked and sore and now I have like a pulled muscle on the left side of my stomach.:mad::mad::mad:

Some restaurants pay $9. I believe McDonalds is one of them. I have worked at Chick Fil A before and they were pretty cool to work for. You should check those out.
I'm gonna give you some unsolicited advice because that's just what I do. :LOL:
Life is hard and expensive especially if you want to have kids and a wife. If I were you, I would just work and go to college right now. Start at a community college and work your way up. Get a degree that is worth it like accounting or engineering. It will be boring and difficult...but it's better to work hard now and have a decent job later, than to not work hard at it now and struggle financially when you do have a family to support.
If college isn't for you, learn plumbing or HVAC. Those are harder jobs but they pay well and you might like them. It's better than messing up your back for $9 an hour. :( My grandmother didn't go to school and didn't know English. She had to work in the fields and in restaurants all her life. It was a tough life for her because she had a messed up body from all that work...really bad arthritis and one of her legs was swollen for decades. I wouldn't want to see a brother or sister in Christ struggle like she did. :(
