fukk no. But I've only been going up.

Credit's bad but it isn't something I can't repair and I've already been taking steps to work on that. When you had a job that paid nearly double your current job, its hard to change your lifestyle spending-wise when you're let go without notice. That what happened to me three years ago. I just need to finish school already cause I do see myself having a steady 9-5 with nights, weekends and holidays off. One class till I have an A.A. and a year and a half till I get my Bachelor's. Being 31 and in the CA school system as a Business major are my obstacles. I gotta get motivated to put up a good fight just to get the classes I need. I'm tired of school but I know I need to finish to have a better life.

Don't get me started on my love life or lack of. Been there, done that with all of the bullshyt games and hoops to jump through when it comes to dating now. Again, I'm 31. I rather work on my professional career than waste time chasing women. I envy and sometimes even hate on dudes who found someone and happy in a relationship cause I don't know what the fukk that feels like :damn: Just dealt with a bad hand :manny:

But I have my own apt, ride that's paid for (though I want another whip) and I'm far from :flabbynsick: unlike a lot of my h.s. classmates. So at least I got my health and my looks :smugdraper:

Oh, and no kids :whew:


story of my life as far as the pay cut and the credit rating cut lol...but sounds like you are doing fine...

5k isnt that bad...unless you have a ridiculous interest rate...just make large payments or consolidate...

Yes and no.

I've worked at a Fortune 500 company for 8 years, but I need a new job. Been doing my job too long and need to make more money. It's hard when I'm my own boss and don't really have to answer to anyone. Motivation to move up the ladder and have to deal with bosses is hard. Not really sure what my career path is and what I want to do.

Just bought a house in July. Man mortgage payments can be:damn: Nice knowing that every month though instead of throwing my money away it's going towards something I'll be able to either own or sell down the line.

Been married a little over a year. Lots of good times and a few bad ones. She struggles with me not showing much emotion and keeping things inside. She also wants me to get more involved in the church which I don't mind, but the church wants people joining church groups and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I already have all the people I need in my life. In the end though she cooks, cleans, works hard, and loves me. I guess I'm doing good.

27. Nah, not right where I want to be, and I've made serious mistakes over the years, really fukked up when i was younger in terms of higher education, family, women, having to sit down for a minute, but I've done a lot right since then, financially I am not where I want to be, but I am solid. Savings, investments, working capital are all good. Relationships is where I am hurting the most, to be honest. Work wise, I need some more financial security for the future. Personal, need to take more vacations, get a bigger place. Comparing yourself to others isn't always helpful or inspiring, but in terms of health, stability, maturity, I am doing well.
