You are correct, IF he had the money when he came here. I thought his government screwed him out of everything, I misunderstood. But still..... he borrowed a small amount of money (at the least) and failed, so now it's going to take him 2-3+ times LONGER to get back in the fastlane. I understand he came here not quite knowing how everything here works but most people that have lived here their whole lives don't understand those same things. So now that he is where he is........ he does NOT have an exact plan except maybe this and maybe that...... so without a plan, pay off the debt, work those long weeks and by the time he has saved again, he can put together a plan. Already thinking like a fastlaner got him in to trouble last time because he didn't map out his journey, he picked up his friend that he barely knew (franchise), filled the car up with gas, turned up the radio and off he went depending on his friend to guide him. Turns out, they ran out of gas and no money to get any more gas so his 'friend' abandoned him and that's how he wound up here.

Or at the very least, you can get other friends and you can tell your creditors to go to hell but pay off the IRS. They are the last people you want to screw with.
