Which just goes to show it's all about what you value and why.
I have lived with money being an issue, and money not being an issue.

Trust me, money may not buy happiness, but debt creates sadness.

And that said, not being concerned with renting an air bnb for a weekend get away after a bad argument at work on Friday, is a thousand times funner and more gratifying, than being worried about paying rent this month and spending it cleaning up the house because you dont have a maid.

yep about money. I am a naturally upbeat person, I have been surprised to relearn. Once I wasn't 2 weeks and 1 unfortunate event (firing, being thrown out by scummy bf) from eviction i stopped having the regular meltdown freakouts and went back to my cheery optimistic teenage self, hmmmm... (being super infatuated with someone and having it requited helps too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])
