frustration

They say "Money can't buy happiness."

I don't know about you, but it can sure buy me happiness indirectly.  

• It could buy me a gym membership, that would make me happy

• It could pay what I owe to get caught up on my monthly bills, that would make me happy.

• It could buy me some new clothes that are in season (even last season), that would make me happy.

I won't say that I am not happy. I am okay, I guess.  I am just feeling frustrated with monetary problems I/we are having.  

It seems like we get one bill paid up to date, and because it's paid up, we have to let something else get behind.  And when that gets behind, the phone never stops ringing.  You can only come up with so many excuses that are believable as to why the bill hasn't been paid.

I know we are not the only ones.  Everyone has this problem, but sometimes I look at the people around me and the green eyed jealousy monster rears it's ugly head.  I feel like that a lot of the time.  Like people have everything handed to them on a sliver platter. 

Who knows, they may be getting by pay cheque to pay cheque like us.  Maybe they have a hundred credit cards.  Maybe they are just able to make a budget and stick to it. 

All I am asking for is, maybe $1,500 to cover the "past-dues". That would also include a couple months of a gym membership. Because I KNOW that would make me happy and perhaps get me out of this horrible funk I am still in.
