How many of you are depressed because of money? I am broke myself, as is my dad...I hate it, it's an unstable feeling, and to sum it up, it sucks... When I see rich kids with anything they want, and other middleclass familys I can't help but feel sad...I know this is wrong to be materialistic but you have to admit, money can help have happyness, even though it won't give it to you.

 

Be thankful for what you have and don't regret what you don't have. There was a point not so long ago in my childhood when my father had less than $20 in the bank. If you are concerned about your financial situation then you will learn to save money.

 

Yeah, as a child I had an accident that caused me to lose vision in my right eye and thats the money I had to buy my car, and I have about a thousand left. My dad needs to borrow it and says he'll pay me back but from past experiences, I know he can't...I'm not blaming him, but I just feel sorry for him as well...When I'm a father, the last thing I would want to do is depend on my children. I know he feels bad but I guess he just has to do it...

 

Sell your car if you feel it will help you and your father make ends meet. A car is a luxary item and not a necessity.

 

When my Dad died 2 and a half years ago, i was left X amount of dollars. It's gone. What do i have to show for it? Well, I paid off my car and paid for my wheels, lip kit and other things for it. Umm...yea. that's about all. The rest of it, I lived off of and bought some clothes, took my friends out a lot..i was generous. Now, i have less than $50 in my checking account and as i type this, have $300 in bills on my desk. My cable is going to be shut off and my health insurance is going to be canceled. My Life insurance is 2 months behind, and my credit is already ruined because of late credit card bills.

When i think about the money that my dad left me and how i completely blew it all instead of saving it for a house, like he wanted...it makes me sick. Then when i think about how ive been searching for a job in my field for 7 months now, and havent gotten ANYTHING, it makes me want to crawl in a hole and die.

It's no one's fault but my own. Yes, i LOVE nice things and new things..there's not a damn thing wrong with wanting to have nice clothes, a nice car, nice tangable things. I just wish i wouldve been a little more responsible with that money, not because i'm broke now, but because i feel like i let my dad down.

Oh well. It's only money, right? If i died tomorrow, what good would it do me? May as well enjoy life now...because you never know.

 

Money does not = happiness.... I left a good paying job because I was absolutly miserable. I've had to live on about 800 sine August. It's almost gone... and I'm now on the verge of taking a job that's five dollars an hour less then where I was. But... I think I'll be happy there...so it won't phase me.

Yes..I'm in debt... so it will be harder to pay things off... but....

I'll be happy.

Money doesnt equal happiness. But when you have a large chunk of it and then you dont..it's pretty damn depressing.

BUT...i AM pretty damn happy when i have money and can get the nice things that i like.

BUT..i dont need money to be happy. It's just nice to have.

 

Money doesn't equal happiness.

Money equals freedom.

 

Are u kidding me, no its not.
Money does not equal freedom.
Money controls and manipulates people.
