This next month I'm going to be barely squeaking by, financially. This is the month that I take out the money to help pay for my parents' cruise. My mom keeps saying, "I don't know how you kids can afford to do this", they know how much debt we all have from various things, but they've spent so much money on us that I don't even care if I take a hit for a few weeks. I'm going to go through all my stuff and sell a lot, so that will help.
And at the end of the day, I have a roof over my head. I have friends and family who love me. I have a job I love. I have two cats who pretend not to love me but really do and a dog who loves me. I have food. I may have to eat saltines and Easy cheese for dinner a few nights, but I have food.
I'm not trying to brag. I'm just saying that I really have no room to legitimately complain.
