So, does anyone here have finacial issues? I'm quite sure many of you do… It's hard when you go to the store and see something you want but you HAVE to pass it up because you're very short on money… Necessities are something we cannot live without, and sometimes everyone has a little less money to get what they need. It's a tough life… Many times over I've pondered if I should just quit and give up… But I have to remember that there are less fortunate than me out there… I mean, I have a house, loving parents, a bed(A nice one at that), we have food, we have JUNK food, we have a computer, and most of all, I have clothes and I sometimes can afford to go have a small shopping spree. I know it's really damn hard, but… Think, what do you have that most don't? Repsond if you know how it is, or tell me if life is worse. I'm here to listen. And I'm here to help.

Trust me hun I know how you feel. I have three jobs, attend college, and have to pay my own way in life. Sometimes you gotta go without a meal to survive. It's hard, but you become used to it, and it's such a good feeling when you get enough money to finally buy that one thing you've been saving up for so long. ^^

I know exactly what you're saying. I have student loans to pay off and I'm stuck working at McDonalds. I have rent to pay, and my roommate keeps buying extravagant things for the apartment that I never agreed on and expecting me to pay 'my' share.

It's getting to the point where all my clothes, except my uniform for work, and including my shoes, have massive holes in them and I'm too embarrassed to go out on public, even grocery shopping, when I'm expected to do and pay for.

I have a trust fund, but I don't get ANY of it until I'm 28, and that's another 6 years.

Trust me I know what you feel. I moved out when I was 15, I felt that I really couldn't stay put any more, that I just had to move so I did. I mostly lived on the grants (I think that's what it's called, tell me if I'm wrong) that all people in high-school get here and on extra jobs that I had now and then. Sometimes I got money from my parents but they couldn't really afford that much. Most of the money I had to spend on rent, even tho I at one point didn't have anywhere to live and had to sleep at friends places. The rest of the money basically went to food and other stuf that I really needed. What sucked the most was that I couldn't travel, I had a bike but it doesn't take you very far. And I couldn't go out with my friends, friends that lived home could afford to go to clubs or by alcohol themself, I just couldn't. But as Saeton said; you get used to it. Luckily I had friends that kind of were in the same situation. We used to bitch about it for a while and then it feels better. And then I could think; Damn Im doing everything that I wanted to do, I should be so happy.
Unluckily it ended quite badly for me, I went beck into a depression. And well it didn't end very well. But now I'm living home with parents again, yay, not.. >.<... But at least I almost don't spend any money at all. And yeah I really feel happy for everything that I've got. My family isn't exactly poor, we got a lot of things. Maybe those extra things is just unessesary.

Well… Your problems are worse than mine… Normally, I'd try to help, but it seems like you all are doing very well on your own. *Ish proud*
