I am Bummed. Frustrated with my money situation. My mood goes up and down with my finances. I get paid on commission, when my income is flying high, so am I. When my income is down for days or even weeks, months... i get down. Ugh.
I am in a trapped situation where my loser ex wife is taking advantage of my work ethic. Even though we share custody of the kids, she has “majority” so gets ALL the tax benefit, while i get slaughtered with taxes. I also have to pay her huge child support, only because she is lazy and makes crap money, while i work my tail off, and the law is such that she is rewarded for laziness, while i am punished by my hard work. Child support rules are so broken and ridiculous these days. I am engaged to a new woman and hopefully i will eventually get 50-50 custody or even more, and she can kiss off and stop living off of me. Anyway, i am done venting. Any of you have bipolar mood swings that correlate with your finances? Please share, so i don’t feel alone in tjis.

Nah, I'm pretty much always broke. First meal in my new place, ramen noodles with peas and corn. I'm very grateful for what I have, regardless of what it is or isn't

When my husband was alive we were always broke because he mismanaged funds and then spent it all on drugs in later years. I was constantly stressed out about how to pay the bills. I def think it took a toll on my mental health.

The only medicine that really cures my depressions is spending money.
Dunno what's better, to buy new stuff or throw away the old.

I'm a lot more anxious when it's low. When it's good I'm more impulsive.

It becomes all consuming when it's low. When it's high I don't think about it.

I am going to draw out a serious detailed budget. I dont care if i have to eat beans rice and potatoes for a year! I am determined to get out of debt!
Debt destroys my mood and eats away at me constantly with anxiety. If someone wants to send me money, please message me! Haha, just kidding.

We have always had little money coming in, because my husband often was not able to find steady work, while I worked full time and part time from home. And I truly believe stress about money has been a big factor for my mental state seriously plummeting over the past 5 years or so. Now that I get disability benefits from my former job, which pays me 65% of what I used to earn, it’s all just gotten worse. We’ve been married for 16 years and have two kids, but still living off on only my disability right now. I know my mental health will never be able to completely improve until our finances improve, and that’s so frustrating. I’m sorry you are in such a crappy situation! Hang in there.
