I need motivation from someone please?
Okay. I need some motivation. Please. Its pretty sad that I am 25 years old and I am looking for someone to Yahoo to give me some advice. But, I am out of options and I want to know if someone has been in my spot before and can give me some help. As mentioned, in the 25th During college, I destroyed my credit by running up some credit cards and not paying them. About two years ago, I enrolled in credit counseling. I have managed to pay down a large amount of the debt, but still have about $ 5.000 left of the $ 11,000. I am getting married in a month, barely affording my bills (rent, utilities, etc.) and can not seem to save any money because my job (although decent paying) does not leave much excess. I need a second job, but It is hard to find one when I have to commute an hour downtown and home everyday. I work a 9-5′er that I probably will not be moving up in pay anytime soon since I just started this job. I just want to be able to give my wife the better things in life. I want to be able to travel with her, buy her a house, afford nice things. Its tough when almost all of our friends are doing very well, buying homes, better jobs, living exciting lives. Its getting VERY frustrating seeing her unhappy that everyone seems to be enjoying the good life while we struggle. She can not seem to find a full time position right now either. I know that this is basically “Life” but I need some motivation to keep pushing forward and keep my head up I usually have no trouble picking myself up each day no matter how hard things get or sad but my life is, Im getting weak and tired of fighting. I know that there are many more people in a far worse position that us, but is there anyone out there who has been here before that knows what Im going through? Any advice? Thanks.
Coming from someone quite a bit younger that you, I can suprisingly relate. My parents have a hard time with money. My advice would be to hold off on the fancy wedding until you’re in a better situation. Or get married at the court house. Or have a small backyard wedding. Never give up, just work hard, using you future wife as the motivation to get you through. Bless you!
Money doesn’t buy hapiness. My family got an incredible settlement a few years ago – we bought brand new houses and I mean full paid in cash; cars; all the latest technology and trends – you could find it in my house. We also had a business and my family invested in real estate. I was too young to take notice of it all, but now I look back and see what I really had.Things were going well for a time, but personal problems with money separated my entire family over time. We are all separated now. And part of the results in that are I got no parents at the moment. Cherish what you have – its the people that matter in your lives, not being material or financially prosperous. And now because of my family’s poor financial choices – I’m left struggling. For a few days now there hasn’t been gas in my house and I’ve been having to go to friends houses to take showers! Make a goal, keep looking for that second job! you’re going to get it. Don’t focus on the better side of life – just what you need at the moment and in time those things will fall in to place as well.
