Why does it seem that every time it seems I'm getting ahead, something comes along and stops me dead in my tracks.
I am constantly trying to better myself in any way I can.
For example, I have 12 hours of overtime and a bonus showing up in my paycheck this week. So my car has problems. I get a quote … $380 not bad at all. Fast forward… two days later nd the bill actually comes out to $606.44. I should have expected it you say? Who expects the bill to come out $226.44 over the Estimate? At one of my previous jobs, that's almost 3 weeks pay. Who can afford it? I can't afford to go without a car, so I borrowed it from my mom. (there goes most of the extra big paycheck tomorrow… enough to put me below my normal income)
I have no love life. I try to be a good, decent person, but that doesn't matter. I don't get out much because even if I did, I don't have any money to do anything, and I'm never noticed anyway.
I'm beginning to think that I should stop trying to get ahead, and just be satisfied with the hand I have.
The only problem with that is I don't feel right if I'm not doing the best I can.
Why doesn't that count for anything anymore?
