not worry about money anymore

It’s a hard thing when your parents tell you that college is mandatory, but them helping you pay for it is not. I want to be able to not have to think about being able to pay my student loans every single day and stop giving myself a stomachache over it. I was tricked and now there is no way I can make ends meet to quite literally pay the consequences. I don’t live extravagantly. It is beyond my means to simply pay rent, put food on the table, and pay my monthly student loan bills.

this may sound obvious, but having a job, and money, makes not worrying about it very easy. and also makes it hard to keep an eye on things—i was much more careful when i was unemployed and broke. there has to be a good balance here; between worrying and stressing about it versus spending carelessly when there is a surplus. i want to save!
