this is what scares me the most, because I need the money.

    Living in your car and on couches sucks. But once you hit the wall, nothing matters more then getting the fuck out of there and never going back.

    I save every penny I can in case I have to switch jobs. Or I need a mental health break from this fucked up world i live in. Or i work day by day, month by month, year after year and lose a bit of myself every shift i work until there is nothing left and i lose my shit and quit.

    Honestly I wonder why anyone would spend money they didn’t need to unless they had the remainder of your lives living expenses already saved up. You’re spending future rent payments, future food! Why would you spend your rent payment 10 months in the future when you could just not go to that concert? Or go on that vacation. Or buy something that isn’t essential or more extravagant then necessary.

    That’s not even your money you’re spending, it’s your landed lords monthly tribute. Its the grocery stores money. Its the car repair shops money. Its the gas stations money. Its the power companies money. Its the awful internet service providers money (fuck you centurylink).

    You just don’t know it yet. Or maybe deep down you do know it, and you pretend otherwise to delude yourself that you live in a free country. Doesn’t seem free to me. In fact it’s expensive as hell.

    Rent is due in 4 days by the way.
