Vent: Money.

General
Mkay...so...I hate money.
I hate everything about it.
I hate it when people tell me money can't buy happiness. Or money isn't everything. Or money is the root of all evil.
Well, the last one I agree on but anyway...
I hate it. I hate having to spend it. I hate having to work my ass off to earn only enough to pay my rent...when my rent is already late.
And if anyone asks, yes I did try budgeting. I cut back as far as I could go without it effecting my life. I cut back on pleasures, and I haven't bought anything for myself in nearly a year. Except on things my girlfriend nearly forced me to buy to replace what I lost.
I hate living paycheck to paycheck and not getting anywhere because of it. I can't even invest properly on the measly wages I earn. Which is awful! I work 40 hours a week, I shouldn't have to be scraping by this badly...I really shouldn't. The system is flawed and I feel like there is no other way out...
Except to get a second job. Another full time job. I'm just tired of this bullshit of not having money for the basic life things. IE; cars breaking down and needing repairs, bills to be paid continuously on time and not having to be late on anything. Having a nice fat emergency fund if someone or some animal needs to go to the emergency room or vet immediately. Even if we are sitting at home watching tv and suddenly realize our tv needs to be replaced...we can just hop in the car, go purchase a new one and move on with our lives. Not having to wonder how long it will take to just earn the money needed to even buy a new one. To have some credit cards with a reasonable spending limit to use for fuel in our vehicles and not have to worry about them going delinquent. If I get a surprise bill that is a little more then I anticipated, it would be no sweat. Just dip into the savings and move on.
I would like my credit to be high enough where I can actually get a good mortgage with a low interest rate, or receive a loan if or when I would actually need one.
My girlfriend really doesn't want me to, but I am sick of not being able to properly provide for my family. What if we have kids? I will be damned to raise them in a trailer park. Or needing to buy them clothes from good will because we can't afford to get them nice things to wear. Or new things to have. I want a brand new car because I've had nothing but problems with used cars. I am sick of it.
And if I have to put in 80 hours a week, then for fucks sake I will do it.
I'm just sick of living like this when I know a lot of individuals around me live the same way as me. I don't want to anymore. I refuse to stay in fucking poverty for the rest of my fucking life.
