Ah, the commandment of Control
Most jobs pay you on a bi weekly basis, that means that you'll work at least 1-3 weeks before you get paid. This means your F*cking livelihood is in mid-air. Your money is on their court, not yours.
The food on your table
The roof on your head
The gas in your car
Is DEPENDENT on your job.
A friend of mine worked for State Farm, he put in his 2 weeks when he got a better offer. His boss wasn't so happy, she held his money and didn't pay him for his commission and 40 hours of work. He has a 3 year old daughter that just started school, his wife works a dead end job and he has little money saved. To take it further State Farm employees have to get paid on a State Farm bank account. His boss could've frozen his bank account to her whim. Not to mention there's a $15 wire transfer fee if he wanted to move his money out ($15 might not seem like much but that's over an hour of work for him to make that after taxes)
Another problem with this is that The government (taxes, Medicare, ss) takes a portion of your money before you even get paid. If you run a business you pay the government last. Doesn't seen like much? Just imagine that this is a banks biggest source of income (investing your money while deposited) This seemingly small detail is a HUGE advantage to businesses.

MJ says that there's nothing wrong with getting a job to build yourself back up. Let me take that one step further. If you're gonna get a JOB make sure you get paid CASH DAILY think server, bartender, manual labor, construction worker.
Eat what you kill, and don't leave your money on someone else's court
