True. Everyone who has money aren't happy. They always want more. Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy things in life you NEED. And if you don't have money, how are you to get things you need?
“When I was young, I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old, I know it is.”—Oscar Wilde
Again, true. It shouldn't be, but people have made it to be the most important thing. You shouldn't love money, but just because you need it doesn't mean you love it.
I actually do not like money. No, it isn't because we don't have ANY at this point in time, its because everyone wants your money. You have to pay to live somewhere. Even if it isn't an apartment, if you buy a house, you have to pay the bank with whom you took a loan out with. You have to pay for your car, outright, or monthly payments until EVENTUALLY you pay it off. You have to pay for food that you NEED in order to survive. You have credit cards that need payed off. You have to pay for your electricity, your cable, and other bills that happen to come out. What if something on your car breaks? It needs repaired. What if something medically is wrong with you? You need to have it taken care of. Oh,and don't forget laundry. You don't have a washer and dryer in your place, so you have to take it to a laundromat to clean clothes.
It is so hard. Money makes everything so hard. Life itself is hard. Especially when you are out on your own without anyone there to help you. You don't have family nearby. You're just living with your husband and dog. It's nothing like what I'm used to. Don't get me wrong, I love my life. I love my husband. It's just hard to change the role of being cared FOR into caring for yourself and husband.
Sometimes I wish I had my family close to help. I wish we didn't have to pay all of this stuff. Especially rent. It sucks having to pay where you live. First of the month, we're broke. $470 automatically comes out to pay for the apartment. Then what? It's a cycle. Rent, cable, electric, phone, credit cards, rent, cable, electric, phone, credit cards.... never a break.
Now I have to get a job so I can help pay for all of this because Matt's income just covers the bills, that's it. And we don't have enough left over for much of anything.
Life is hard and money sucks.
