i've spent somewhere around four hundred dollars over the past week just partying my ass off with some friends, and i did it all on a fucking credit card, man. to some that may not sound like much, but i don't have much money, i'm sleeping on a couch because i can't afford a bed yet, and my clothes are on the floor because i can't afford a dresser of any kind. i had to pay rent yesterday partly with some change i had in a jar somewhere, and here i've gone and used this credit card to rack up frightening debt. i hate this, i can't believe i've been so goddamn fucking stupid, man. this sucks more than i can say, and i don't know how i'm going to pay this shit off without going deeper into debt. sorry, i just need to get this shit off my chest. |

Not at your livelihood's expense. Have some common sense, you won't be partying when you're so deep in debt that you get eaten by a group of small ducklings. |

maybe "partying" was the wrong word to use. it wasn't neccessarily spent on getting wild; most of it was spent on a woman that's got me knocked to my feet. i don't suppose that's any better a reason though...(heh, heh) |

Hey, I'm a student, I get £60 a week, but after living costs have very little to spend on stuff like music, going out etc. I save money by: Buying alcohol from an off license and drinking at home. Doing odd-jobs such as gardening amd fixing PCs. Copying all computer games I want (used to be a big drain on my cash). Not eating expensive stuff. Never eating out, even at takeaways or cafes. When I do this I can live on about £12 a week excluding bills & rent. Remember, even this is a lot of money compared to what some people have. And if you need to spend that much money on the woman she obviously doesn't really love you. |

Th other thing is I go for long periods of working solidly, I haven't had a holiday since Christmas or a day off from "Paid" work. Not only does this allow you to stockpile cash for "doss time", but you're so busy/tired that you don't have time to spend it. I did this to pay for my computer, because I knew I wouldn't be able to afford it when I went back to university. |

get your priorities straight. food and shelter is more important than partying and women. i don't spend money. i may take 20 dollars or less (15 pounds i think) out of my paycheck that i get every two weeks. the only other thing i spend money on is gas for my car. personally, i have a debit card. you can only take out as much money as you have in the bank. keeps me from spending alot too. |

yeah, I live at home with my parents, they pay for my food, and stuff... but I paid like 2000 bucks, everything I made over the summer basically, for my tuition, books, and school supplies... plus, I don't get car insurance, cause I can't afford it, and my parents don't pay for it all year... so, I don't consider myself spoiled... it's a good situation from my point of view... I gotta pay for my tuitions, but if I can't come up with enough money, my parents will chip in with the rest... so I have to try, but I don't have to worry that I might not be able to go to school because I can't pay... tis a good situation... |

It's really amusing, some of my lower-upper class friends get slammed for being supported into their twenties by their parents. Do any of the people who criticise this really feel they would say no to it if it was offered to them? I doubt it, they're just jealous. And jealousy is really silly as it just makes *you* unhappy. |

Actually, I have to pay a pretty big portion of my tuition, but not alot. I am responsible. I rarely drink, and when I do I take it easy, never take drugs, look after myself quite well, I rarely murder people, no criminal record, etc etc. I just don't HAVE to be responsible. Why grow up sooner than I have to? I'm more than mature enough to do it if I had to, I'm mentally and emotionally prepared. I'm very capable. |

It really amused me in school when we were about 12/13 we were made to sign a contract in Religious Education class saying that we would behave like adults and if not we would accept the punishment. A guy in the class pointed out to the teacher that we couldn't smoke, drink, have sex, drive, get a loan etc. so why should we take any of the responsibilities of an adult without any of the benefits? The teacher forced him to sign (therefore rendering the contract void in the eyes of the law again- It was already void as one party (us) gained nothing from it) and couldn't give a reason why we should. My attitude is that by working enough to have money and hence some degree of leverage in squaresville (read the adult world) you make yourself free and able to be childlike in your lack of concern. |

Ophecks if people trash you then they are just assholes. When i said boasting about that may piss people off i did not mean for anyone to think i was pissed off. Never would i want someones life to be downgraded because mine is! Thats just lame. Well sometimes when i see people take things for granted i would like to see them in a bad situation so they appreciate what they have, but you seem to know that you have it good, and dont take it for granted, which is respectable. Lol its true tho if people bitch at you and you asked them if they would say no to all that, they wouldnt respond cuz they would look like idiots! If i had those options theres no way i'd turn them down! I guess its just not having those options that makes people mad, but why want someone elses life to sux so you feel better? Thats just cruel. I have a "friend" (for lack of a better word) that gets all his stuff paid for (food, shelter, car, insurance, school, clothes ect...) and he bitches about the stupidest things and tries to make it out like he has it so bad. He is the type of person i'd like to change places with to shut him up and get him to appreciate his situation a little bit! Hope that clairifys a bit, Ophecks i wuz never pissed at u and wouldnt want you to not have what you have (if thats what u thought!). |

ceri jc: with your last post you put a certain idea into words in a way that was very interesting, a way i haven't really thought of before. i have to say that i honestly think that statement (about earning the right to live as an adult by taking on adult responsibilities) has helped me today (in terms of my outlook on how things are going financially and emotionally for me right now). it's been a rough couple of days (i think i'm bi-polar but haven't been diagnosed with it) and that simple statement you just made has helped me see the lighter side of things. thank you good sir. |
