I hate it when i don't have enough money left. I'm feeling restless, hopeless, depressed and everything. How do you feel when you have no money?

I feel the same way you do. It isn't easy when money is low are not there when you have an emergency. After I have what I call my pitty party I have to sit down and decide what I am going to do. First figure out where you spent your money and if you are bringing in enough money to cover your costs of everyday living (this includes all bills) If it does and it is just the extras in life you are missing out on then maybe you need to get another job that is fun for your mad money. If it isn't covering even the bills then you need to look at what your bills are and if you really need cable tv or if you need to look for a totally new job all together that will pay the basic bills. It is never easy to manage money and believe me I am no expert at it but when you take a close looke at it that may help you determine what your spending habits are and what you need to do to correct it. Oh and when you are depressed about money going to the bar or on a shopping spree doesn't help trust me I have tried both. Good luck and remember tomorrow will be a better day!

We feel the same way. Especially when you really need to buy something. I feel that God had forgotten me. hehehe... But we shouldn't feel that way. What we should do is to work harder, right?

You are abosolutely correct even i get frustrated soon when i dont have even a single pie with me, and i dont understand what to do, before this situation rises i control my spending and see to that before i run out of money i should get my next pay soon, it is the only way to keep off this situation , if still it comes then no way i am going to get frustrated for sure, ofcourse i am a normal human being and its common with everyone.buddy dont get depressed by this, its very dangerous , i know how it feels but i try my max to avoid such situation.

I guess, it's normal to feel down when you don't have enough money to spend for your caprice much more to your basic needs. Luckily, I'm earning enough for my basic needs and gets excess for my "shopping" hobby =) But mind you, I have to stay 4 hours in excess of my regular 8-hr duty just to have an extra money. That's the sad part of it. =)

I feel down when I have no or little money as it means I can't buy nice healthy food for my kids or be able to take them out to nice places like swimming or museums. However I do try to work on ways of getting more if I'm like this, by looking for things I can sell on ebay or trying to find a bit of work or something.
