text: Furthermore, asking a person with experience will help you out a lot. They will help you stay away from what terrible things could happen. The quote from a commercial, "we know a thing or two, because we have seen a thing or two," is very valid, for someone who has knowledge on the choices you have made, will try to shift you on the right path. For example, my uncle does not have a job, and did not pay his rent for three months. He asked my mother for advice, and she said, "I was in this predicament last year, and I found a decent paying job to help pay for my rent," so he took her advice and looked for a job, and once he found one he was well on his way to pay his rent.
