finances, chat, general frustrations
 

i'm trying to balance my checkbook and pay bills, and once again, there's not enough. And i don't quite know why, honestly. But i'm anxious and it makes me feel panicky..... and i really, really don't want to cut (tomorrow it'll be three weeks that i've gone w/o it!!), but at the same time, i want to so much.
And being by myself doesn't help. i'm in a new house, and the roommate works opposite hours, so we never see each other. And there's not good phone reception. i tried going to the chat here, but it's still not up and running.
So why am i posting?? i guess in a last ditch effort to not be by myself and not ruin a three week run....

And in case anyone out there is massively wealthy and wants to pay my bills. Hey, it can't hurt to try, right?

:smurf: <---- just because i like that there's a smurf smilie, and i'm really attempting to make healthy, positive choices. Heck, it's why i'm posting to begin with.

Aww hon, I'm sorry. Finances are such a bear, honestly. But hey, almost three weeks, don't give that up! I'm really proud of you that is so great!!! Keep it up!
*hugs*

well done for posting and not cutting, three weeks is great.
Well done for not sticking youre head in the sand about it either (my favourite technique!)...
I try and write down my outgoings and incomings everymonth and figure out if there is anything that I can cut out of monthly spends... sometimes you will figure that you spend things on silly stuff and that that soon adds up.
take care!

Hey, i know how you feel, my financial situation is a nightmare at the best of times. I know i chose to continue studying for another 3 years (on top of the four i have just done) but it doesn't stop me hating every second of being penniless. At times i want to just ruin all my hard work, but i don't because it's not going to help. At the end of it I would just be sore on top of penniless.
Anyway, well done for going three weeks. It is a good idea to see if there is anything you can cut out of your outgoings, or possibly see if you can try and shop cheaper or whatever. Good luck!

I just wanted to say that i understand what its like to have financial worries.
Good on ya for trying to get it out and not hurt!

Take care
