Ya know, I think the saying "money doesn't buy happiness" might be true in it's purest form but, honestly, I'm damn near positive that, so far anyway, I've been much happier and easy going when I've had money to cover my bills and expenses. When I don't have the money, I tend to spend most of my free time thinking about how I'm gonna get the money rather than enjoying the things that have been provided with that money.
Don't get me wrong, I don't sit and mope about debt or anything but my once-free thoughts of taking a day off to hit the shore, catch up on some reading, run some errands, detail my car, etc. are now met with resistance by my debt-burdened thoughts. Some might call this "growing up", "maturing" or even "accepting responsibility" but I know that's all bullshit.
I will say this for having debt ... it certainly is a motivator. It helps me look at my employment more than two weeks ahead because I know I need steady income for a lot longer than that to pay off my current debt.
Alright, back to work here ... gotta make some money.

Posted by: Lori at February 15, 2005 05:42 PMI don't think you "ought to be pimping" anything by now ... in fact, I don't want you to use that word again in reference to yourself, hahaha :-)
