Have you ever owed money to family?
It sucks.
When I was living in my office, I needed $1,000 a secure an apartment and actually have a place to live. I knew I was going to have that $1,000 in a few weeks, but didn’t at the moment. So, I borrowed from my older brother.
It turned out [...]

My girlfriend and I have been dating about 5 months now, which has given me lots of opportunities to discover how to date when you’re in debt.
The Main Issue: Expectations
The person I’ve been dating knows my entire story. She knows how much I owe, how I’m trying to pay it, and has seen me [...]

It’s funny, since my best friend got a boyfriend a few months ago, my business has had it’s most profitable months ever.
Coincidence?
Yes, and no.
I’ve definitely had more free time lately. Almost too much at times. Even though I always have work I could do, and as much as I enjoy my work, you [...]

Recently my best friend (and only person outside my family who knows my debt situation) got a boyfriend.
While I’m happy for my friend, myself being a male, I’m seeing understandably alot less of her. More like once a week now vs. 3-4 times a week the past 12-18 months.
What has this meant for me and [...]

Really? Really? Are we going to make a big deal about this?
Perspective is something that especially in the past year I’ve always tried to [...]

Growing up, my parents taught me all kinds of valuable lessons. Like, “don’t play with fire!” (I love the [...]

This week pretty much sucked.
Business wise, I got a few things done, but not much. I’m feeling anxious all the time now, and it just doesn’t make much sense. I’m in a much more stable point right now than say 6 months ago. Yet, I’m feeling more anxious than I have in years.

OK, so there is this girl that I’m interested in. My big concern is that I can’t be myself completely without letting her know whats been happening and what is continuing to happen in my life right now. And if I can’t be myself…we’ll I’m not very attractive then!
If a girl were to read what [...]

It’s amazing how my work performance has changed since I stopped day trading. Not only my work performance, but everything in my life.
Even now, as I just got out of a spit bath shower using a pot of heated on the stove water, I feel so much better about myself. Not everything is hunky dory, [...]

The House
This weekend some friends of mine offered to help me clean up around my house and getting ready for sale (although it already has an offer). How nice, right?
In the end, yes. But for a while I was like, “why am I doing yardwork in a home I am short-selling and that already has [...]
