I just need to vent. I am terrible with money. I'm
not sure if this has anything to do with depression
or not. It feels like a real psychological thing. I
spend money I don't have. it's a pretty regular thing
for me to bounce checks. A couple of times a yeaar I
get myself into a really bad situation where I'm $600
or so overdrawn in the bank and have to ask someone
(family member) to bail me out. I think they're finally
through with that. I'm 32 years old, I should have my
shit more together. I make enough money to support myself
I'm just not responsible. Again, I'm in the emergency
situation of being $600 or so overdrawn in the bank.
I'm not about to ask anybody for help (not that they'd
give it anyway at this point). The only positive thing
is that maybe if I just let the shit hit the fan and don't
depend on someone to bail me out and my bounced check
fees amount to like $1000, I'll finally learn my lesson
and be more responsible. This has me feeling pretty shitty.
I hate that I do this, but I keep doing it and never seem
to learn. I've gone to financial counseling before, but
I always seem to go back to my bad habits. I'm pretty
discusted with myself right now. Anyone relate?
