Tired of being Broke

June 29, 2020 6:01am CST
Living paycheck to paycheck is a very unfulfilling way to exist. Constantly being worried about where the next dollar is going to come from is mentally exhasuting. Obviously, some of the decisions that led to this weren't the wisest, but with industries being shut down, job security is pretty much non-existent. Aargh!

Right, especially in situations like this. Sorry I can't help you, but I hope things will get better soon.

It's definitely hard to live paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes, that's the way it is. However, you can always look for ways to earn a little extra to make things easier.

True, i'm always finding ways, i think freelancing is a tricky business, i was let go from one of my jobs without any prior notice coz the company wasn't doing too well under the circumstances...it was unexpected so it threw off all my plans but i'll recover if i just work harder at it.

Yes...I would agree. Lack of funds and regular flow of income is definitely a big thing to deal with.

Me too. That's why I start doing online work and finish my thesis at the same time.

It maybe hard to live paycheck to paycheck but count yourself lucky as there is something to look forward to on paydays. They are those unlucky ones who are jobless and have families to feed.

thanks for the tip, some of the sites don't work where i'm based but i do keep a look out for those that do, i just feel like for me it's not a sustainable way to live long-term but i am managing to get by for now...

It depends on what plan you made and how well did it work. There are paths that you had to pick depending on who's advice you took.
