Another day, another someone-else's dollar $.

No matter what I do to try and get ahead...I get bit in the ass. I hate money, and the only reason I hate it, is because I never have enough of it!!!

After paying the bills, groceries, gas, etc, and my HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE past two dental visits....we are just about over our heads. Tax time can't come soon enough.

And why is it, I have seemed to notice, that the people that have an abundance of money don't help other people out (not saying they have to...but I'm just making a point), and then the people that have nothing are always trying to help other people out?

I have a friend, we'll say. She comes over once in a while, and I can think of at least five times now where she's 'forgotten' to bring her child's baby food. Granted I have some, but right now we're almost out, and that stuff isn't cheap. I have never done this to her. Wouldn't you think, or I would anyway, that if you were to use someone's things that often, maybe some money for it would be inorder? I'm not tryint to nitpick, but 2 jars of baby food, in one meal, that's 10 fars there! That's at least 5-6 meals or so for my child!!! And not only that, but she will ask for a pop/soda when here, and a bottle of water-and almost always NEVER finishes either of then, nor takes them with when leaving. I know, again, not trying to nitpick...but that stuff adds up, and is SO expensive!!! I remember when I was a kid, an I would leave a can of pop open and out on the table, my gramma would put it in the fridge, and when I'd ask for another one, she'd make me drink the gross, nasty, flat one. I learned to NEVER leave them out, and to finish them before opening another. I thought it was horrible...but I learned and I NEVER dump out pop/soda in my house....unless said friend is over. I guess it's a pet-peeve of mine to say.

And this is coming from people that make a significant amount of money more than we do...so I guess it just frustates me that people can't see that they're being wasteful....especially when said person scolds me, who is four years older than her, about being wasteful....????

And don't even get me started on dental care!! I can see why a lot of people have such poor hygeine! It's IMPOSSIBELE to afford even if you DO have insurance!!! Granted I didn't have insurance for a long time, and am getting caught up now and paying the price...but still. Yeesh....it's insane!!!!

I guess that's all I have to say...I'm taking my sore mouth, and my sore wallet to bed now. :(

And always right before the holidays too....why is that?
