NWFlyer 2 #26 April 8, 2014 grue ***Been there, done that a couple of times. Being short of ready money didn't increase my chances, it just decreased my money. If you're worried about money, it's time to listen to Dave Ramsay. Wendy P. It's time to get a different job, actually. I don't have money worries in the sense of "paying my bills", I'm just… well, not happy with what I can do. All around me my friends are taking vacations, buying homes, doing 50 jumps a month and getting to really enjoy life. I'm not gonna pretend it doesn't make me really jealous.

wmw999 2,452 #29 April 8, 2014 Do you know what you need to be happy? Make a list; write them down, then looking at them, decide which ones actually matter, and go about getting them. Start with the easier ones that have no dependencies (e.g. "let my hair grow down to my navel" might not coexist with "stay in army long enough to retire" ). Working on getting a new job is a pain in the ass. I'm trying to talk someone else into actually doing it, too -- for most of the same reasons (minus skydiving). Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

turtlespeed 221 #32 April 9, 2014 Squeak ************I bought a lottery ticket Be careful what you wish for. it's difficult to imagine things becoming worse because of a substantial enhancement to my finances. Don't forget there's sometimes a side to people that's very, very ugly when someone they know comes into a lot of money for one reason or another. Be prepared to lose family members, friends and other relationships due to MONEY. Be prepared for people claiming to be relatives to come out of the woodwork as well. Be prepared to question the motives of others. Do they like me because I'm a nice person or do they like me because what they THINK is in my bank account? Some probably just like you because you're a curvy chick with big titsThey aren't THAT big.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
