It’s possible. I did a lot of drinking.

I was 18. I didn’t really care about what companies were headquartered in which countries.

2002

Seoul. I was barely 18 and got stationed there. I was expecting grass huts and donkey carts based off MASH or other movies I’ve seen.

But I was legitimately shocked. Like you know in movies when someone goes through Tokyo for the first time and they are starting struck, that was me in Seoul.

I keep a jar of pickle juice at work so I can keep cramp free on hot days. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

So?

Or aliens

Man, if I find something I could describe as a “space trunk” you’d better believe I am not going anywhere near it, let alone using my mower to pull it out.

I’m also in a small town and used a local bank.

It was 2006.

I knew a couple athletes in college that played professionally and have pages.

I’m not denying that I got very lucky with my timing. But also I chose a very low cost of living area.

I joined the army before I was 18. I saved money while I was in Baghdad. My first house was 40k in 2006. I live in a small town in the middle of corn and soy fields. I have a union job. My wife and I are good about not blowing money. I put $20 bucks a week into different savings accounts to help pay for big expenses.

I bought a house when I was in college. It was a shitty 900 square foot 2 bedroom for 40k. My mortgage was $109 a month. After I graduated and moved away, I tried two rent to own contracts. First one was a disaster. They paid for a few months and then after a couple of court appearances, they got evicted and owe me several thousand dollars.

The second contract was “successful.” It was a professor of mine that went through a nasty divorce and had credit problems. Dude took the full term to pay me off even though I suggested that he take a loan in an attempt to rebuild their credit. Nope. Just gave me money each month.

Three months after paying me off, he left the house and moved into on campus housing for adults. Let someone buy it at a tax sale or something.

I don’t get it. I know I’m probably more aligned with boomers than I am with my millennials, but why wouldn’t you want to own your house that you’ve been paying for? Renting is nice because it’s not your problem if something breaks, but the vast majority of rental owners are shitty and are going to fix things the cheapest way possible.

I was in the same boat, but for not nearly that same amount of money. After I talked to a lawyer I realized it was going to cost me more to recover the money so it wasn’t worth it.

Also, at no point in that article does it say libel.

Libel - letter Slander - spoken Defamation - something else.

Libel needs to be written and published. Slander needs to be said and broadcast. And depending on who it’s against, there are different levels of evidence needed. Like if you are a public figure, the person doing it needs to be doing it with the expressed purpose of injuring you name/actual malice.

He has the judgement against her, so he could try and garnish wages and such. But it’s a pain in the ass to jump through the hoops.

Not libel.

That’s an instant buy.
