it's ridiculous how much money i waste. i remember when i FINALLY graduated from high school i had to get to work. i had a job that paid 8 bucks an hour. it was amazing i wasn't making minimum wage. it was SO much money! i had my girlfriend at the time living with me at my parents house. the first check i got that was like, 400 bucks, was spent on all sorts of cool shit of us. i bought a nice coat for my ex, i bought a watch and some shoes. i eventually even bought a brand new car! a 2004 scion xB. i'll never forget that car. it was awesome. i was on top of the world.
fast forward a year, my girlfriend left me for the twelfth time. i get a new job. they said they were going to pay me 10 bucks an hour, and if i stick around, i'll get a nice 50 cent raise in a couple of months. so here i am now. 19 years old, and i'm so excited. i finally made it into the double digits! i had it made. i couldn't believe how much money they were paying me. it was the greatest thing ever. you can ask my wife now (which was one of my best friends at that time), i always had money. we would go out and party, and i would pay for everything. the shit was awesome. i always had money. when i would go rehearse with my band, i always had my own GREAT equipment. i would buy this stuff cash. it was going great! i even had a nice classic car. i had a 64 impala SS. after that, i even bought an old school mini cooper. it was awesome. after i crashed the impala, i bought a couple VW bugs. i would trade them like trading cards. i had the greatest time with my cars.
move ahead a couple more years. my ex-girlfriend is now pregnant, i get an even better job! now i make double of what i used to. it was good. it was great. i eventually quit work for a while. i didn't work from about october until january. i had money saved up for the whole time i was off.
i was single, i was a disaster, i was drunk, i was fun.
being fun, being, drunk, and being single is VERY expensive. i eventually ran out of money and it has been an uphill battle ever since. it's been about 3 years now and i'm STILL paying for it. can you believe that? i'm married now, i have 2 kids, and all this debt that doesn't let me do much. i have a new job that's even better than all of my other jobs. i make decent money now, but i'm too caught up in paying for my credit cards that i ran up years ago. maybe in another couple of years i'll be debt free, and everything will be good again.
i'll let you know when that day is. it's not on the horizon any time soon. when it comes, you'll be the first to know.
k. thx. bye.
