I got 99 problems....

What are your current problems?
I have a credit card debt that was referred to debt collecters while I was living in China, wasn't my fault took Chinese bank tellers a few visits to figure out how to wire money to my home account. I haven't made a payment on it for about 3 months because I was saving to move to another country (I am totally going to keep paying it back once I am able to, though), but it's always in the back of my mind, even though they haven't contacted me or said anything.
I need to find a job pretty quickly in the new country as I have a small amount of savings that will last about a month, but if I don't have a job by then I will be in trouble. So worrying about that, too.

What are your problems? Unburden!

 

I'm still out of work and our home is owned by a crazy old man who never gets anything fixed properly. Thankfully, we're saving up to buy.

 

no job, no car, problem people, fines, hospital bills, still getting high when I got piss tests, don't like where I live, don't like the sound of my own voice........

I feel a little bit better now.

 

Its been close to ten years since I've owned a vehicle.

Granted I live close to inner city with reliable public transport just out the door so its less of an issue compared to other people.

But its been a relief that all the problems associated with owning a vehicle have disappeared, the drain on your bank account, having to play designated driver, people asking you to drive them places, traffic fines, parking tickets, stressing about losing your license, getting agro just driving in traffic

I found it all a complete pain in the ass

 

i'm hungry, but my kitchen's all the way over there...

 

hmm maybe I should stop wanting a car.

 

I need to start making more money...

And I've gotta get outta this emotional rut I'm in. Although I have every right to be in it, its draining me

 

For these very reasons, I would looooooove public transportation. I love my car now and don't take one minute having it for granted (it's hard to when one had to go 3 years without any sort of reliable transportation), but driving scares the ever living hell out of me. I'm not a bad driver, but everyone around me is.

My problems...well...all the damn farms that grow the cheap dirt weed around here keep getting busted, so I had to move up to higher grade smoke. It's not really a problem, I'm not really spending any more money than I was and I'm getting better bud, but I'm so used to making an ounce of schwag last us a week that it's taking some getting used to to make $60 of the better stuff last a week. But it's not that big of a deal, I have never been so hiiiiigh off three hits.

But yes, I have a job, one that pays very well. Doesn't get much respect, but people are assholes and at least I have one. My house is clean, my fridge is full. I have two refrigerators! (Some may recall from past posts that I did not have more than a mini fridge for several years, now I have not one, but two fridges!) I have no real debt, am working on helping my boyfriend settle his debts one by one, and after getting my shit together have started to enjoy "playing" adult.

 

life won't leave me alone and let me be

oh and bitches.

 

I have a load of ambitions and plans and very few resources.

 

my current problems no job which means no money

 

Having a wedding in 10 days that im totally not ready for. Still need to:
Get bridesmaids dresses
Make centerpieces
Make garter
Make ring pillow
Order boquets and flowers
Finalize music
Finalize ceremony......

On top of getting ready for my hubby to adopt my son and adjust to less than perfect living arrangements and deal with 4 kids...actually, the kids unconditional love for me is just about the only thing keeping me sane.

Ahhhhh, I feel a little better just bitchin about it. :2thumbsup:

 

Is it you getting married? I dont think I knew that.

One thing that always gets me about weddings, is that just about in everycase the bridesmaids are put in these stupid dresses that make them look ridiculous, and thus the bride look better. Last one I attended they were wearing bright orange prom dresses. It just screams an insecure bride to me. If you havent picked them yet, please go with something stylish, not fluro something


And also, in keeping with the thread title, always amazes me how much some spend on weddings, supposed to be an expression of love yada yada and expressing that love in front of friends and family ( oh gawd, think I just grew a vagina by thinking that last sentence ) - yet $20K of materialistic crap has to go along with it which takes ages to pay off thus causing problems

 

I'm too lazy xD

 

All the weddings I've ever been to, including my own, were farcical and pointless.

Still, hope you have fun

 

Agreed.

That's why the one I'm planning for ours is very simple, more like a cookout, especially since we're already married...

But I can't justify spending $10K on a wedding like most people...

 

Yeah, its me getting married...well, we eloped so we're already married this is just for the friends ans family. Lol about the dresses. Totally agree. We're going today to let my girls pick out what they want to wear so no insecure bride here! my only request is that its a wine color.

Our wedding costs less than 2 grand and that includes the venue (1,000) and my dress (350). So, all things considered id say we're doing pretty good . AND its going to be held in a botanical garden so we're saving a bunch of money on flowers. But still...STRESSFUL! Lol

I definitely dont understand the whole breaking yourself to have a 20,000$ wedding. Seems like that money should be used for your future. But i guess if ya got it...

 

Agreed. I just want to party in a pretty dress :gorgeous:

 

Are You Going To Be Barefoot....?



Cheers Glen.

 

Yes!
