- He has faced some hardships.
- Obviously the Freelancer.com customer support team is giving him the runaround.
- It's hard to see anybody in trouble and not feel bad for them.
I do wonder though, why doesn't he plan better? Having found himself in a tough situation a couple of years ago:
- Why didn't he build some savings before becoming a freelancer? Doesn't he understand that is a really bad idea?
- Why didn't he test the waters of Freelancer.com with a much smaller project? Any time you have some middleman between you and your money it seems like you want to know that they are not going to jerk you around.
At this point, it seems like he should go to one of those "work for cash" places and do some quick manual labor to get at least some of his bills paid off. And then learn how to avoid this sort of situation in the future...
