lots and lots of spending money... It's official. I'm baaaadd with money. I never have any and the only things I want desperately need money to buy them! What's that about? Sooo...
I need money!!! Any good ideas? I'm thinking about selling a kidney on the black market. Any hook-ups?
I guess I could get a different job where I'd make a 6 figure salary but then I'd have no life and couldn't enjoy all the things all the money could buy me. Damn! It's a catch-22!
ahhhh, YES! i really wish that money wasn't such a big issue for me. i end up feeling guilty and materialistic when i complain that i don't have money to buy the things i want. ahhh, vicious cycle...
i live in san francisco and the cost of living is extremely HIGH. i also work for a public university, so my salary is teeny tiny. actually, if i lived anywhere else, my salary would be okay since i'm only supporting myself. but not in SF! the one good thing about working for a university is that i get GREAT healthcare benefits.
anyway, for now i'm living paycheck to paycheck. by the end of the month, i'm almost completely broke- like right now! i have very little money for the next 6 days. (i get paid once a month! must budget...) i keep telling myself that i'm only 23 and that most people have a few rough years when they first graduate. at least i don't have any debt or school loans to pay off- i don't know how i would survive if i did, considering my miserable salary!
I know EXACTLY how you feel. I work for the state (because I love what I do) but it's not the quickest way to make the big bucks. And I have mucho law school loans to pay off. I live paycheck to credit card to paycheck. And I'm moving soon And I need a new car soon.
I feel your pain. I'm finally starting to get a grip on my debt and climb out of it, but I need to buy a car and a computer, neither of which is a small purchase. And I'm moving in about 8 months, so my cheap-o rent will change to a more expensive half a mortage payment. It seems like I no sooner get on top of things, that I have something else come up that sucks away more cash.
All I can say is save whenever and wherever you can.
Yeah, I'm thinking about just selling my soul to the highest bidder (law firm). I'll be emotionally and mentally bankrupt but at least I'll have nice shoes.
