Stressing

[TikiTalks]

I'm so stressed out! I don't want to bring it up to my fiance because I don't want to argue and I don't want him to work away from home, I'd rather he just stay home all day and clean and cook. Money is scarce, I'm 22 and I work the standard 40 hours a week my company rarely offers overtime on days i'm off and i don't have it in me to be on the phones for 12 hours a day.

Rent just went up and I just want to scream and throw a fit! :( Financial stuff sucks. And I know it just gets harder, and I act like I have money and I don't. I pray that SOMEHOW I'll be able to pay rent this month. I've never been so broke i feel like i'm living off my credit cards. I'm not going to go out to eat anymore because it's cheaper to just cook and make a mess!

I know everyone has been through this and I know everyone has financial issues and times when you just can't do it and somehow you manage. My sunroof on my car got vandalized the part is there i just don't have the money to pay for it every morning its freezing and I'm just SOOOO FRUSTERATED :beathead::mdgrr::ugh::eyes::tears: This is the progression of my moods. :sigh:

I really want to go back to school, I want to be a teacher but now I'm thinking my just go get a certificate to be a dental hygeniest though looking at peoples mouths all day never appealed to me, at least i wouldn't feel like i am feeling right now :( Thanks for listening guys, I just needed to vent.

so sorry you are going through this dear..it is rough I know...cutting back is the answer..however, you need to pay yourself first...with each pay check...always put aside at least 20.00 to buy yourself something..that helps it really does..I know where you are at...totally believe me with hubby being on disability it isnt easy...take care dear.

Michelle, I am so sorry!
I don't know all the details of your situation but I think I understand. But, on the other hand, talking about it with your sweetie might help if you let him know ahead of time that you don't want him to change anything, but you just need someone to vent to who will hold you, rub your feet, get you a glass of wine, etc. without offering answers. (The "without offering answers" part is what is going to be hard for him. The other stuff will be a piece of cake.)

Starting this month, my husband and I are going to start living on my income alone. It's not easy, but it's doable.

And hey, student loans are there for a reason. I racked up $20,000 in debt to get my Masters by going to an in-state school and taking a part time job helped some with the living expenses (making $600/mo and living on pb&j sandwiches). You CAN do it. Don't settle for something else. I'll tell you, even a dream job has its nightmarish moments. So, you at least have to start by doing something you believe in. They will work with you on the payments after you get out, if you need them to do that. Don't worry about it!

Hang in there!

I used to work in a dental office & Dental Hygenists earn very good money, at least here in Texas. I did front office & chair side assisting. Like any other Dr. there are good ones & difficult ones so I wish you all the best in what ever you do. It does help to talk about your concerns & what it takes to give you a lift. Guys do like to know specifics of what youwant from tham. A foot rub , a hug or just to sit & listen or look like they are listening.
