That Corona Looks Empty!

Did my taxes this evening. Let's just say I certainly hope things change for the better. For the last 8 years my pay steadily decreased and my taxes increased.

Did some research, found my old iPhone 6 is worth $125 with the charging port messed up because it would cost $75 to have it fixed. Brother is living on SSI and only makes about $1300 a month. I don't know how he does it. His only phone is a mobile he has with Sprint. His phone is so old to text you have to use the phone keypad numbers and it just has like a 4 line screen. And after 4 or 5 minutes talking his phone gets so hot he has to hang up. Googled and there are cheap prepaid wireless accounts for about $30/m, he is currently paying $40. Says he is stuck in his plan because of the old phone (no body supports it except for Sprint because it is so old) and he can't afford to get a new one. So, decided to fix and give him the iPhone 6. It is a Verizon phone and is unlocked so he could be able to swap SIM cards for free and stay with Sprint for the same price, or move to another cheaper carrier since he would be bringing his own phone. Discovered att is the only carrier left locking phones to their network. You can't use phones purchased with att on any other carrier.

Several years ago I was going to give him a free email account on Zipbang.com. Talked to him and found he clicks on spam because he thinks they are legitimate businesses offering good deals. He had an on-line store he was reselling with and was basically spamming small scale. Did not want that crap on my server either him trying to send emails out to lists OR all the incoming spam traffic he gets because he clicks on spam. So just showed him how to use Yahoo. Can't believe he puts up with getting over 500 spams a day and thinks that is Okay.
