Do You Wish You Were Rich?

Post Reply New Topic

Money can't buy happiness, but it can make your misery a lot more fun.

Yes.

I thought I was financially secure until I found out my mum's partner is leaving his house to his daughter. I don't know how I'm going to cope. I've been doing lots of calculations to figure out my future, how much it will really cost, it's scary as Hell.

It is not fair.

I thought maybe I could even have children one day. I will never be able to afford to raise kids. I'm great at budgeting. I'd make a great mum. I can't afford it to raise kids now, not with this money. I had budgeted and made many calculations. That hope flew out the window when I found out the above. It's impossible and lost...now.

Everything in my life for my future, was mostly secure. Now it's all gone. My hopes and dreams are gone.

^^^^
were it not for what my folks left me, i'd be living under a bridge someplace, if I still was surviving, that-is.

I wish I was rich. I'd be able to live way out in the country, where I don't have to deal with lousy apartment neighbours.

if I was rich, i'd drive around in one of these beauties-

^^^^^

Yes. It would be great never having to worry about money and the freedom to basically do or buy anything. I wouldn't buy unnecessary and vain things though, but would probably spend them on travelling, home stuff, etc.

of course, i wouldn't have half the worries and would have the time to focus on what I really want to focus on

My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was little & they spent a lot sending me to private school but they did have enough for me to have some personal things. They were lower working class & are now working lower middle class thou my mom is retired now. I never really wanted to be rich but I did want to be financially independent after I graduated high-school partly cuz my parents were on my back about it alot. I have worked some but I'm on Social Security Disability now. Me & my girlfriend live a fairly comfortable lifestyle but we're worried about losing our government benefits like my Social Security, my Medicare, our Medicaid, her SSI, her Section 8 housing voucher, her food-stamps, & her low income energy assistance. It would be nice if we had enough money not to worry about these things. We would move back in with my parents if it came to that but we really do NOT want to have to do that. I would get a job but my girlfriend has anxiety & depression issues & doesn't want me to be gone for more than a few hours at a time. She thinks there's a way where I could get paid to be her caretaker cuz I'm classified as her live-in-aid on her Section 8 but she hasn't really looked into it cuz of her depression. She put her cat to sleep a few months ago & has been having a really hard time coping.

^^^I hope you can together make things work out in the best way.

Of course I don't. I want life to be as hard and as difficult as possible.

So I can help others live kinder lives and have a physical platform to affect what is around me in a larger and more tangible way I dunno, I considered myself rich enough to feel comfortable when I could work minimum wage but I suppose if I ever earn more than that it would be a nice thing to have as a big net I could dip into.
