I'm Not Sure You Want to Do That, Buddy
So, you wanna put yourself on child support? Let's talk this through, shall we? Because this sounds like the plot of a really bad sitcom where the punchline is you’re broke.
Why on Earth Would You Do That?
I mean, I get it. You're tired of being the breadwinner. You want someone else to foot the bill for those avocado toast brunches and artisanal kombucha. But come on, there’s gotta be a better way to fund your bougie lifestyle.
Maybe you could try:
- Winning the lottery (long shot, I know)
- Becoming a famous influencer (even longer shot)
- Robbing a bank (highly illegal and not recommended)
Any of those sound more appealing than voluntarily giving up your hard-earned cash?
How to Make Your Dreams a Reality (Probably Not)
Okay, fine. If you’re really set on this, let’s break it down.
Step 1: Become a Parent This one seems obvious, but you’d be surprised.
Step 2: Don’t Be a Good Parent This is where the fun begins. Consistently miss child support payments. Ignore court orders. Basically, be the worst co-parent ever.
Step 3: Get Caught The state of Texas isn't known for its patience. They’ll find you, and they will make you pay. Plus, you might get some extra legal fees for your trouble.
Is This Really What You Want?
Before you dive headfirst into this financial abyss, consider the consequences. You’ll be broke, stressed, and probably have a restraining order. And for what? A few extra bucks?
I think we can all agree there are better ways to solve your money problems. Maybe try getting a roommate, selling your car, or, you know, getting a better job.
How To (Not) Put Yourself on Child Support
- How to avoid being a deadbeat dad: Be a responsible parent. Pay your child support on time.
- How to improve your financial situation: Create a budget, cut back on expenses, find a higher-paying job.
- How to maintain your sanity: Avoid questionable life choices.
- How to find a good financial advisor: Look for someone who won't suggest putting yourself on child support.
- How to enjoy life: Spend time with friends and family, pursue hobbies, and appreciate what you have.
Remember, financial problems are common, but there are healthy and legal ways to address them. Don’t make a rash decision you’ll regret later.
