I've lived both sides of the coin over the years,

There were years where I was "rich" meaning I had all the money I needed to take care of ALL my bills, wants, needs and desires, at any given time I could go out and blow $2k - $4k and not give it a second thought, there was plenty of cash to go around.

During that time I did not have a single care in the world, if I wanted something I could get it, ANY sort of issue that COULD arise I was covered for, but then thanks to VERY bad life choices and "habits" I blew every single cent and ended up flat ass broke and homeless.

During those times, I was miserable, partly due to the fact that I KNEW I put myself into that situation, but more so I had no place to live, stay warm, eat etc etc.

These days I'm just barely breaking even, most months I'm behind and I can say I'm deff NOT happy, If I had savings and the bills were all covered, or hell even a "steady" income I'd be allot happier because the stress and worry would be gone!

Hell If I had just a few grand extra I'd be happier then a pig in slop cause that would allow me to kick off two projects that only lack the working capitol to get off the ground.

ohhhh money how I loath thee!

I know exactly how you feel home slice... but you're still not talking about real "happiness"... you're talking comfort. I feel your pain man.
