LIFE SUCKS : Money

LIFE IS MISERABLE AND DEAD END

I just got canned/fired at my dead end job at Jewels today and don't know where to get money now..... i am broke got like 200 dollars in the bank... I have no friends no more... High stress and mental issues.... no family (except for my parents who im so dependent on them and live with)..... I had friends when i was in high school but when i went to college i lost contact with them and many are busy with their own lives and don't care to spend time to talk with me... i dropped out and went to community but, quit again and end up working as bagger at a grocery store making 77 dollars a week then now fired and unemployed... i feel angry, sad, and confused on why this is happening to me..... but i try to make arrangements to hang out with my high school buddies but, they always say they busy or don't answer and ignore me or act like they don't know me when we spend 10 years of our lives together.... i mean its just insane... i felt like i am doing something wrong but, people tell me its "Life" but, my only question is why Life has to be so cruel?

Hello!

I'm not one to complain and I'm pretty easygoing- so this is the most primal side of me that I'm choosing to share. I'm a hard worker and people take advantage- making only minimum wage. I owe $700 to a roommate (half of my tuition- other half paid myself) for my CNA classes. My aunt let me borrow her truck to go to school. I had the second highest average academically, yet my performance anxiety made me lose focus so much to where common sense tasks like cleaning dentures became a challenge. I dreaded the people watching me. I had a change of heart and I abandoned the notion I'd ever become a CNA because of the stress I felt. I don't have the slightest clue what to do with my life now...I know I'm smart enough to surpass fast food- but I'm at a point where I'm too lazy to pursue anything. I wouldn't ever work if I didn't have to, honestly. I get depressed that I have to. I don't like interacting with people much, never have. The person I love has Crohn's disease, and although I will never abandon him- I truly love him...he has no job, and I'm not sure if he'll be on disability one day or whether I'll be stuck taking on the brunt of things for us. Dishes, laundry, groceries, rent (let's not forget). I no longer have my aunt's truck-the leaf spring got damaged so it's totaled due to aging. I must take the trolley to work- I'm only getting 20hrs. max right now. I'm living with my sister in a trailer in the trashiest ghetto town imaginable, and I've been given until May to move out because she's moving away for school purposes. I fear moving...I don't know how I'll afford my own place- and I'm very angry about that. I hate that this world revolves around money and greed. I hate minimum wage. Job description barely matters- I work harder than most all of my employees and I probably won't ever receive any recognition. I especially dislike all of the pressures I'm facing- it's a drag.

I am 25 years old and i have nothing in my life.. after graduation (HS) i took college courses and just stopped going. My brother and sister are 5 and 4 years older than me..My brother is Lawyer and he also has his own accounting firm and a wife and home that he owns with his little dogs.. My sister is a pharmacist at a good hospital and is getting married in 2 months. They are both really great and i love them to death. I know i shouldnt compare myself to others but i just think about how ashamed my mom probably is of me for doing nothing in my life.. I started working at a strip waitressing and moved on my own at 18. After a short time i began dancing and was making a seriously insane amount of money which i blew on clothes apartment car..whatever..i got a little dog the one that i always wanted..while i was moving from one apt to another my dog got out and got hit by a car in front of me..i heard him scream and i ran out to see and i saw him there and i started freaking out crying and holding him trying to get to a vet but it was too late..my baby that i loved more than anything died in front of me and i just sat there screaming and crying and replaying the events over and over and over and over and over.. i was completely destroyed..by the way that happened on valentines day. i moved into my new apt just a short distance from the accident and every day that went by i could not do anything but replay what happened in my head.. i know it was my fault he died and i just...

i have no money for tution fees even for my food.

hey readers thanks for paying attention .

my live didn't always suck grew up middle class, i had everything i needed, day camp in the summer and one vacation a year. I went to and graduated from college. Moved to LA met a nice guy and 4 years later got married.

He had a great job in the family business we bought a home and after a year an a half had our first child. Two years later I gave birth to twins, one healthy the other had major medical issues. he needed heart surgery just to live. Born during a major snow storm the hospital couldn't fly him out for three days. During those three days he developed brain damage from a lack of oxygen to his brain.
Three and a half years, two open heart and one (regular) heart surgery later he dies from a blood clot after spending 8 weeks on the hospital.

During his 8 weeks in the hospital my husbands family business goes completely (and very expectantly) belly up. Lost my child, lost our future, lost our health insurance, husband lost all confidence along with his income (job).

Borrow money to move and begin anew, work as a waitress for 9 years while putting myself through grad school to become a teacher. He has 5 jobs in as many years.

Long story short...here we are this many years later. I have four kids, two with depression issues, one bipolar. Not enough money to help everyone get through college. Not enough money to help my kids achieve success. They live paycheck to paycheck, we live the same. No intimacy in my live since my husband became emasculated (his words not mine). MY LIFE SUCKS

I know alot of sad sacks, maybe I'm contagious.

Just got off the phone with a buddy of mine who has been sleeping in the back of a van. Wife left him. He went home to Long Island to try and get life together. Hasn't given him much of a break. His old lady went to Arizona. Hasn't seen his kids in 8 months. Talked to another pal who lives in Ohio. Jobs are scarce so he has to work in another part of the state. Spends weekends at home and while he is away busting his ass for family, his wife likes to cheat. Got two friends in Florida both on second divorces due to spousal infidelity. Another pal in Ohio who's gal decided to decorate their living room a year ago with a 45 and her brain. Pal in California on shaky ground in 2nd marriage after 1 year. I've coined it "Vietmaam". Guess we just don't pick em very well or we all coincidentally suck as men. Me? Wife of 15 years wants a divorce. She filed a week before my birthday. Thanks for the present hun. Wants the house and kid. Took us twelve years to conceive. Had to go invitro. Only ever met my own father once. He never knew his. Thought I could break that chain guess not. We're struggling financially like the majority of the country. Don't want to live in my car when everything is said and done, don't see any other option though. Wife and my boy need the bread more than I do. Was a homeless teen (ran away, pretty dumb) before I joined the military, did it once I can do it again. Back will just creak more know I guess. My Step father who rescued my mother and I from poverty...

Stuck

I'm a 30 year old who's had it pretty easy for most of her life. I chose a career that was completely inconsistent with what my family did, but it was my dream career and fortunately I was able to study it. But after 7 years of trying to make things work, my career failed. I was subjected to constant criticism from my parents for my inability to find steady work, consisting of them telling me that how I've actually never wanted to work or how I've never done enough. After 7 years of rejections from possible employers, that's just not what you need o hear. I was forced to take a job with my mother, a job I've never wanted, not just because I don't want to have my mother as my boss. The job isn't hard, I get along great with everybody, but I can't stand it. I have to do thing that bore me to death or that I don't like, and I'm expected to do everything with a smile. I'm crushed. Sometimes I feel like I have acid in my lungs. I'm constantly being reminded of what an ungrateful child I am, only I'll soon be 31, I have no savings, nothing of my own, and since I live with my mother (because I can't afford my own place), I have no say in anything. My father says I feel this way because I haven't accepted that this is what I have to do and that I basically have to suck it up. I can't quit my job because I haven't been able to find an alternative. And I feel like no one is even making an effort to see things from my perspective or at the very least consider how all of this makes me feel. I don't know what to do.

My life sucks and I have no one to blame but myself. Growing up I had two loving, hard working, supporting parents. They sacrificed to give us everything we could need or want. Private school, great summer vacations, support in any athletic or artistic endeavor...Fast forward to now. Staring down 40. Wife, 2 kids, steady job that barely pays the mortgage. Live pay check to pay check. A once fun loving wife who has gone 180 and is almost impossible to live with. 0 net worth. Unable to give my children the kind of childhood I had or help support my parents in their old age/retirement. And everyday have to live with the fact that I had every opportunity to make a great life for myself, and I blew it.

useless

In my 40's, shit job, no family I care to associate with and only 1 friend. I'm in a constant state of rage and envy of people who have decent lives. I'm pretty sure my life will end with suicide ...I just don't know when. Money does buy happiness! Anyone who says otherwise is an utter dimwit!

no friends, no life, no hope

I hate my life. Everyone else is great in my book and I just suck! I try to relate to people but I have no brains or social sense whatsoever. I lose all my friends and I've never had a girlfriend at all and I'm 32. I keep wanting these gorgeous chicks and I don't even make a move because even I have enough sense to know there's no chance. But I don't have enough sense to want whatever chick would be good for me. There's nobody for me. I have two jobs I'm failing at because I'm just brain dead and still I have no money because they are both dead end jobs and my living expenses are too high; mainly because I buy crap. I suck with money. I've only been laid once and I couldn't keep it up which was humiliating, she was nice about it but I felt like crap. I walk out the door everyday and it feels like the world is caving in around me. I watch people talking to each other and I can't do the same, my personality sucks and I can't hold a conversation that well. I drink too fast and usually end up embarrassing myself or throwing up, I threw up in the urinal at my sister's wedding and they had to call out an emergency plumber in the middle of the night! I just hate my life!!

is this it?

i'm a 19 year old male living with my father,mother's living with new husband about 4 miles away from where i live every day i'm torn into making decisions from whose side to chose based on what happens...every month or so it's a new trip to court which are for a child support case concerning my brother and sister. i have yet to recieve my high school diploma due to constant suspensions from school which ended in me leaving once i turned 18.as for relationships...ive been single for 5 years so far, females have asked me why i am single and that i'm too cute to be single so much its unbelievable...i always respond,"i just haven't found the right one" but truthfully i just fear that the same situation as my parents will happen to me..you could say i'm terribly scarred for quite a wile. financially i've been working part time at a golf course waking up at 4am to get ready. my shifts are from 5am-10pm weekends only which is barely enough to pay my liability charges for a car crash i was involved in at age 17. the same car i put up for sale a few days ago on craigslist working perfectly just to get called the next day demanding a refund because the vehicles engine blew. police were involved,but the officer that arrived turned out to be a racist because even though i had the upper hand because i had already given the vehicle up at the dmv i was forced to give the money back by the caucasian officer without even hearing the story, and the person demanding the money was also caucasian. so now im car-less, money-less, my next liability bill is due in 2 weeks and i have no way to get to work to make money. so what to i do? my only options are if i miraculously win at least 1000 dollars in a lotto scratcher for a temp. car or kill myself....u.s.a land of the free....not really

My terrible life

I am living in Toronto. I hate this city and think that it is the hell to me. I am 46 and have a teenage and a 4 year kids. I lost my job because that the fucken manager wanted to control the office with his previous fellows. Since then I could not find a job I believe that other employers doesn't want to hire someone that was fired, even though that person is insane. In fucken Canada, I could get maximum 49 weeks of ei benefits and after that, my family had to live on my wife's salary. My wife is working part time of an on call job. Each month we have only merely about $1500 to live on. Back to five years ago, when my second kid was born, I took 5 weeks parental leaving, now the fucken gov of Canada is forcing me to pay back two weeks of the parental benefits from the overall 5 weeks amount that they paid me. My daughter wants a bicycle, I do not have money for it. I cannot afford day to day expensives. Each week I go to the market to pick up the cheapest food and vegetables. Even with on sale iterms, I have to calculate the cost to keep everything in the budget. I cannot afford any expenses, so right now, during the march break, I cannot take my kids to anywhere or have any activities. I am afraid to take my kids to the shop, because I feel so bad when they asking me to buy something like potato chips. We are renting a part of a house. Inside the rooms, we put two beds, and some boxes for clothes. The rooms are so macy and there are mice and crickets everywhere. I hate this ghetto living conditions but I could not change it. I become disbelieving god and don't trust anybody. I really want to kill someone, even though it doesn't help to improve my situation. I hope that some kind of natural disasters happen here in the whole Canada to destroy its buildings, people and everything. Fuck the god, fuck the people, fuck the land.

Does it ever get better?

Bad enough I work long hours at a hard job. I got cussed out twice last week on the job, and I just have to "be professional". (In other words, smile and take it.) But I only get paid once a month. Yes, I haven't been paid since Feb. 10th. I was supposed to get paid last Friday but they "ran out of checks". I keep asking when I'll get paid again. The girl who writes the checks implied that it was because I hadn't done my job well enough! She's "too busy with HER job" to figure out my check. But officially, they keep telling me "tomorrow"... I work six days a week doing all the work no one else wants to do for the company. I'm broke and need to pay my bills. I had to borrow money to make my car payment for fear they would repo it. Now everyone has gone to a "conference" in another state where they will spend the rest of the week partying and having fun while I do all their work. Then, this evening, the neighbor's dog bit me. Turns out he hasn't had his vaccinations. I suppose that means I have to take all those shots. Can't afford any time off work, we don't get sick leave. Doesn't it ever get easier?

Bills homesick alone not satisfied guilty

I am havign hard time with catching up with our bills even though I and husband has a full time job , he pays child support for his 2 kids who lives in another state which is considered small amount. We have 4 years old daughter who goes to day care when we aren't home. My mom died from heart attack when she was 47 about 4 years ago when my daughter was 2 months old. She was in another country and I did not have money or nerve to leave the baby and go there ( baby did not have passport then and my husband was layed off for few months ) I had my little brtoher begged me to go there with tears all I was able to stay on web cam and talk him or talk on cell phone. My dad had been very strong and took care him most part of and helped hi to go back to school and he is grown up matured a lot now. He was 12 when this happened now he is 16. I could not go back to visit my dad or brtoher or they would not able to come because we did not have money enough to pay for flight tickets. My brother lost his hope he doe snot even ask any more and I always have been trying to pay my nest bill and wait 2 more days to buy groceries. My husband I had met and married shortly without dating so I was surprised to see he would not find me atractive as much as the girls on tv or maybe his chating ex wife, and did not have sex or I should say no more than 2 minutes of intercourse since we are married for 7 years. He never had solid full time position and I never made enough to...

poverty is killing me

straight to the point-life is never always fair and if it's, it must be playing tricks on me. am now 28 going 29 yet my financial life is characterized by a series of failures. for the past three years, I have struggled through thick and thin to earn something for my baby and I but nothing seems to come my way. debts, bills and general expenses are the order of the day.
whenever i look at my baby,am psyched to embrace life the way it comes just to ensure she gets a better life than i did. She must never know the meaning of going hungry, living under a dollar and day and so forth.
it's a struggle am willing to win by all means but before it's won, I have to admit that life sucks!!! money can't buy happiness and blah blah blah but without money, there is no joy in living. At times, my wife of three years will address me like a kid just coz am broke. but I struggle to do what is right because it's right. one day, the money will come and i will be a man again but before tomorrow comes life gives me nothing but a big SUCK!!! I just wish i could have money to help my parents and other friends on the struggle: to build a greenhouse on my 1/8 of an acre but where will the money come from??? life sucks!!! guys advice on money making ideas that are practically suitable for African atmosphere-Kenya to be precise. I need to raise $2000 for a greenhouse.
don't worry, if you got no ideas just admit that life sucks and keep looking. Finally, may God answer my prayers for financial freedom. May I be blessed in my youth and throughout my old age...I will keep open to having my wishes granted...let "life sucks!!!" be a passing cloud.

i graduated high honors from high school and magna cum laude from college supposed to have a bright future right..ummm wrong. my parents didnt pay for me to go to graduation bc they said they werent proud of me. i had an ex that put a car in my name said he was gonna pay for it now im stuck with it and did i mention its broke down at the moment blown headgasket and 20 other problems and its gonna cost 2000$ and i been payin car insurance and a car payment for 2 months on a car i cant drive. ohh and that great college education forgot to tell u im a waitress..what a great career i get treated like a moron when customers are idiots that cant read a simple menu.. then here is the worst thing the guy i have been with for a year and a half just hangs out at home and drinks..but he never used to be like that..so i have a bf that i am taking care of like a child i pay all the bills for all the food he smokes at least a pack of cigarettes a day..and if i get frustrated and say like well maybe i wouldnt be so grumpy if i didnt work seven days a week he flip out like tonight i said well if u worked i wouldnt have to work so much he started screaming in my face i told him to stop then he smacked me in the face knocked off alm the stuff on the end table and threw me on the floor by my hair..ended up in my leg getting gashed open and instant blood trickling onto my white carpet..we have broken up before but he really is my best friend i know it sounds crazy but he has applied at every job avaliable ans there is just no jobs out the which i understand bc i a college grad working as a servergod cant anything go right for me..i feel like im a good decent person that just keeps getting the short end of the stick

where to go from here

Where to begin? In a few days, I'll be turning 40 years old. Since graduating from high school, I've gone through death, divorce, despair and everything -- you can probably imagine. I've racked up credit cards, then eventually cleaned my credit. Now, I am back to where I started. All my credit cards are maxed out. I live with family since my divorce. I was only planning to stay a short time, but it feels like an eternity now. I have a job with a big company, but only get paid commission. In a week or less, all the money I have in the bank will be gone. I don't have any rich relatives, so I don't expect a pay day. I tried to commit suicide last year, but even failed at that. I am a good person. I believe in God. I graduated from college. I have global experience, having lived and traveled around the world. I have a beautiful girlfriend. She's drop dead gorgeous and we have amazing sex. I have lots of friends and I know a ton of people in my business. I just don't know what to do. I know other people have it worse. I know that. But, where do I go from here?

Life suck!

I'm 21 years old, I have three kids already. My kids are still very young and sadly I don't get much help from my husband or anyone even my own family. I just got a job offer that pay good, but I didn't pass the background check because of something stupid that I did when I was younger. Now I'm jobless, my husband doesnt want to work. I have so much bills that's due which I dont have money to pay. All my husband want to do is play LOL all day long. He never help me with the kids or around the house. I just feel so stress a alone in this world! My kids are the only reason why Im still here.

Life sucks hard

Going thru college getting good grades, even made deans list. Sitting here drowning myself in beer and hating everything in my life, my wife is a liar, my kids are great but I don't feel like being around them. whoever said "money cant buy happiness" is full of shit. I am afraid to spend money on food for myself when I go to college cause my wife might bitch at me, after supporting her and my kids for the last 12 years. I feel like my life will never end and all I am made for is labor jobs so I can pay the bills. I can not wait to escape and be away from everyone.

A little over 2 years now...

I was on top of the world; my wife and I had good jobs, I just got a mortgage and my apprenticeship was finally complete. Then I get laid off (no kidding, less than a month after I sign the paperwork for the house. My bosses knew, they just didn't tell me it was a bad idea.) That was 2 years ago. Now I am divorced, my house is in forcloser and my utilities are being shut off one by one. my unemployment ran out a couple months ago, and i've been running on fumes ever since. my ex wife's credit was bad when we bought the house, so its in my name alone, so I am the one responsible for it when it hits the credit report. I haven't eaten in over a week and haven't drank anything or showered in days since the water was shut off. I've looked for work for 2 straight years, but have given up since my car broke. it needs both insurance and an inspection to make it legal, anyway. I am seriously considering just going to "bed" (its really just an old broken couch. my ex took the $6000 bed and most of the furniture when she moved out.) and laying there until I die of thirst.
Oh, yeah. I've been trying to tap into my old job's annuity for the past six weeks in order to survive, and my old union rep has just been giving me the run around. Apparently I don't qualify for a "hardship" withdraw. The last 6 times I've called him he just sent me to voice mail.
