nah, we *should* push away landlords who feel they need this software

Which is sad. We need more resources to help fund people who may want to try. I know some programs exist, but.

I have to wonder if new businesses being started by regular people will start to tank as consumer and student loan debt rises. Even mortgage and car debt — there’s just so much fucking debt to exist already why would anyone want to take more to start a business

and then you have gainfully employed people who are just like ”why don’t ya just work for yourself?!” as if I’d start bringing in income immediately the next day lmfao

Also, we are facing having to move. You know what landlords or mortgage officers wanna see? STABLE, NORMAL INCOME

Maybe if I wasnt already traumatized by student loan debt and struggling with housing, it’d be more of a consideration. But in this economy, starting a business is a Very Hard No for me.

So many new businesses fail after only a few years and I sincerely cannot imagine taking that huge financial risk when I have barely any savings to begin with.

If you’re jobless, how do you even secure loans, etc to start a business? Genuinely would be curious about the stats around usage of the program. It’s better that it exists than doesn’t at all, but they should consider partnering with other orgs to provide legit funding.

Starting a biz is hella expensive and likely would need way more $ than what those benefits provide, especially if you need to do marketing and build up a client base. I’d guess that few people successfully use that program. No, I don’t want more debt in my life to start a business.
