ARGH!! >< STRESS!!!
This is a vent, which was needed in order for me not to explode, literaly.
My friend needed to move out recently and needed to do so quickly but did not have anyone to share the rent with him. Seeing as we are like brothers he asked me and I gladly accepted, after all I should have moved out of my fathers house years ago.
Before doing so I made sure not to screw myself over since I had not much money. And so I did and I was ok. Next was my pathetic excuse of a car I needed to change, a 93 Lumina with 300k KMs on it plus the mechanics of the car we're literaly gonna crumble at any given time, I knew this due to the music-band like sounds my car made, oh yea and the 1500$ estimate that I received from my garage also gave me a clue to what I should do. Well I went ahead and bought a 2003 Civic (I ****ing love it) and turned the lumina in for a whoopin' 300$. I no longer have the stress of fearing for my life while driving my car.
But there we're a couple things I missed.
After insuring my car and paying 2 months of insurance on the first payment and paying my rent, and credit card bills and satelite bills and internet bills, renewing my license, buying new plates, renewing my health card, buying food, some appliances I find myself broke with barely any room left on the credit card. This situation brings me enough stress that I am literaly distracted all day long at work, which in turn brings added stress.
Why does this stress the hell out of me? Because I am proud that I don't have to rely on ANYONE for ANYTHING. This situation shakes my pride seeing as I might have to ask my father for money sooner rather than later, which in turn stresses the hell out of me.
Oh, well, life and it's challenges...I will do like I always have and push through my fears and resolve this problem. I just wish it did not cost me any stress o.O
Stupid money.....[:@]
Why can't I win the lottery or something? I'm gonna go buy a ticket....
Anyways, for you younger ones out there, if your parents tell you that life can be hard and unpredictable at one point or another you are better off beleiving them and save up your money while you live with your parents so when the time comes, you can be well on your way on your own without having to rely on anyone, which is nice.
...back to work.

lol..."us old timers" speak for yourself ^.^ not to be rude, but I'm just 23.
But it's the truth none the less and yes indeed quite a bitch slap in the face.
Don't let your employers hold you back either, if you can find more money elsewhere, go for it because in the end your employer doesn't give a damn about you. Unless the employer is your friend or husband/wife or whatever, but you get the picture, work is work, and your personal life is YOUR personal life. Be good to yourself and don't let anyone slow you down in the progress which is your life.
Toodles, I feel better now, I feel wiser, not that I am though... ^.^
