Most People Try to Hide The Hard Times

I'm going to put mine right out there...

The thing that I hate more than anything else is my money situation over the last few years. I keep telling myself it'll get better, and I keep trying my ass off to make it that way, but it never gets to a point that it's bearable. I am seriously, seriously depressed about it. It's retarded. It's really the only thing that gets me down. Like, if anything else goes wrong financially, I think I will for real lose it. At this point it looks like that something will probably be my car, but really, it could be anything - furnace, AC, leak in the house, damage from a storm, some medical condition. Whatever it is - I don't have the money to be able to handle the situation.

My savings account currently is no higher than it was 3 years ago. I mean, I put money into savings every month so that I can eventually buy myself a car... but I've had to take it right back out just to pay for bills and life. Some months I have to take more out of savings than I put in.

And every single month for the past couple years I've been moving money in between my account, kari's account, and savings - just so that we don't go overdraft - which we end up doing every month anyway.

I believe that Kari and I owe more money than everything that we have is worth. That is an awful feeling.

I guess that new BMW 135i doesn't look that cool anyway.

I feel your pain. I paid money for a car I don't have. What you have is a negative net worth. Welcome to the rest of us. We need to make something huge someday soon. Have Josh figure out the odds on that one.
