Anybody Else Frustrated With Their Lives?

[InDePickWest]

Yeah. I have big hopes but you can't really do shyt if you come from nothing. I'm broke as hell with two full time jobs and still barely making it. Mind you I spend nothing on fancy clothes, expensive outings, etc. my second job direct deposit goes straight to my savings and I look at it and get discouraged. Keep on. Eventually somebody will give you a shot.

I've actually been moving BACKWARDS in terms of pay for my (mostly part-time) jobs over the last two years (from $10 to $9 to a pathetic $8 now). And in that time I had to move back in with my parents, and still somehow haven't managed to amass any savings. I've been paying sporadically on my student loan debts but because of interest and the fact that one is defaulted I'm pretty sure I owe more money than I did when I started paying on them. Looking back over the last couple of years I had an opportunity to do certain things but I haven't done them, but it's easy to look back on it that way and harder when you're living it on a day-to-day basis.

My girl isn't a problem individually necessarily, but she is an added expense because we live twenty minutes from one another and she doesn't own a car. And when you add in just the normal headaches/arguments/nagging you get from any relationship (I can't say that she's high maintenance or particularly troublesome or anything) it's just extra stress that I could do without.

And she hasn't really confronted me about it, she's actually been incredibly supportive from an emotional standpoint, but I can tell that she increasingly worries/believes that the reason I'm not moving forward is a lack of ambition. It's not really a lack of ambition as much as it is just an overwhelming feeling of discouragement.

On the other side, I do love her and I would hate to lose her just because I can't get MY shyt together. And I know I'd feel terrible breaking up with somebody when they haven't actually even done anything to spur it on.

Holy shyt breh. You're on a big ass bind there
I ain't even got a solution for you. shyt just sounds so hopeless...all I can say is: good luck!

It's a horrible feeling. All you can do is keep grinding and try to stay positive.

This is a borderline depression thread.

I know I can't be the only person out there who is utterly frustrated and at their limit with the lack of progress made it in their life. I'm 28, and I really feel like I'm no better off in life than I was when I was 18. In fact, I'm worse off, because I'm ten years closer to my demise and I'm in a lot more debt now.

I used to run my own businesses, but that failed, and ever since I've been stuck in dead end jobs for the last two years and really am making no progress. Every time I try to do some shyt to get out of the situation (like sign up for classes or start another business or save some paper) some little shyt (or big shyt) comes through and destroys the opportunity. SMH.

I don't even know if I need/want any advice, or any support, or anything... I just had to vent brehs.

what kind of work do you do breh? theres an art to flipping your resume and bulshiiting your way into a better position. thats all I've ever done to improve my circumstances

thecoli can really be supportive when it wants to.

to the OP, it's a marathon not a sprint. Hate to sound cliche, but that's the truth.

Also, when I was at the most intense of this...this ... seemingly perpetual struggle, I really wasn't try to be serious with a female and didn't seriously entertain the idea. Now's the time to really stay focused...enjoy what you have...focus on self and improvement and give when you can. Many of the females could just cause further frustration if your mental isn't strong and/or if you aren't hard on 'em.

And especially if a female expects and/or lives a lifestyle that's on the the opposite end of an "on-the-come-up" lifestyle. Now if you happen to stumble across one that'll ride for you and with you during the come up, you might wanna keep her around, but that doesn't mean some measure of added frustration won't come along with that, as in any close relationship.

Stay up, tho. And be sure to pop back in and tell us how it is once you get it!
