When you're terrible with money . . .

Ok, so I'm a *VERY* wasteful person. @ 22 (23 in april) years old, I eat to much, don't sleep enough, generally let my room stay a mess and I smoke w**d constantly. I'm a slut of a man too.

I moved out once or twice, but never stayed gone because paying rent really gets me pissed. I keep convincing myself I'd rather live my life *ballin* w/ all the b*tches I could ever possibly want and lots of dough to *WASTE*.

With that said, I blame myself, but I also understand I was not taught well growing up when it came to money matters. I deal with a lot of depression problems and a lot of negative thoughts about myself as well. My job is a very stressful one so there's a lot of negative sh*t I feel the need to counteract on a consistent basis. My poor mental state and self image (used to weigh 350 pounds, now I'm a HOTT dude but still feel like sh*t about myself) is hugely responsible for my issues. I was also alone alot while growing up so I'm not very good at relationships, male or female.

I've been making a good bit of money (50-60k) since highschool. I still make good $$$ but I'm starting to feel like I'm goin to be in trouble soon. I really *really* don't want to stay the person I am, but have serious attention span issue's when it comes to changing my habits and keeping my mind on a goal of any sort.

I'm not quite sure what the best course of action would be for a person like me. When I have a large sum of money, I spend it on having fun, dr*gs, over indulging or toys. In other words, all my money is being thrown away cus I'm an unhappy dude . . .

How do you make a lazy, depressed bastard with not a lot of will power left retain some of his hard earned work???

I've been thinking about cutting my income in half and accepting the fact that it's just going to be wasted anyway. Somewhere I'm holding the thought that I'd rather live poor while I'm young and able rather than not have anything in the future.

Generally I think my life should *not* be in my own hands, but being that that's not possible, some serious reform is needed.



 
Can't help you with the personal issues, but financially, why don't you get a big chunk automatically deducted from each paycheck and deposited into a hard-to-get-at account (like a retirement account)?

If money isn't important to you, take a year or two off and join the Peace Corps. It'll build 'character' and take you away from your current noxious surroundings.

Yup, more SHENS on ATOT. Nothing new
 
In the immortal words of Fat Bastard;

[to Felicity] Of course I'm not happy. Look at me, I'm a big fat slob. I've got bigger titties than you do. I've got more chins than a Chinese phonebook. I've not seen my willie in two years, which is long enough to declare it legally dead.
[on the verge of tears]
I can't stop eating. I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's someone I'd like to get in touch with and forgive... myself.
[Farts]
 
I'm not calling complete shens, but you're definitely lying about something.

You say you would rather live your life balling with the all the "b*tches" (Implying you have a healthy social life) but yet you're depressed and have a very low self-image?

You're wasting money on material possessions to replace relationships (or lack thereof) and to get a "boost" of happiness. Until YOU look at yourself differently and make a change, this will not stop.

Stop doing drugs to (hopefully) cure the lazy and depressed part of your problem. (I can't guarantee it will cure the bastard part) Take that first step and see if things get better, as I'm almost sure they will.

Try volunteering at a charity for a while, or get a pet.

On second thought, forget about the pet, it might die.
