I've been bummed out lately and the main cause is financial...I graduated college a while back (about 6 months) and haven't found any full-time work yet. I work a part-time paying job (barely 20 hours a week) and work for a website ( but don't get paid-although the experience and networking will hopefully work out) I budget to the extreme and just barely am able to pay my bills. With Christmas coming up I can't afford to buy anything for anyone. I want to be able to take a girl out, hang with my friends and go out on my own...but the only thing holding me back is a lack of income. I always hear that money doesn't buy happiness but I think It would make me a lot happier if I had money coming in. I think it definitely makes people happier, or at least makes things a lot less stressful. I just need to vent here...as I'm becoming increasingly depressed at my situation.
