He always says that "he's trying" or "he screwed up." He was self-employed as a remodeler when we met and has done that off and on still. He currently has a sales job but has only made $500 since starting that one; he's had 2 other of the same type jobs but hasn't made any money doing either of those. The BIG job is always pending; he always promises that he'll help out when that one comes in.
