On the other hand, I've been working pretty much full time for five years now and have almost nothing to show for it. I can't seem to put a stop to my compulsive spending and while my music and movie collections are quite impressive, my bank account balance certainly is not (A fact that is also not helped by eating at restaurants frequently, and attending events like concerts and the Renaissance Faire).
I buy a lot of my own food and do my best to lighten the burden on my family, but I know they're frustrated with me. (Though lately it's hard to really care, since I'm typically working 70+ hours a week and am only here when I'm sleeping.) Maybe someday I'll finally grow up and move out, but it's not likely to happen any time soon, since one bedroom apartments in this town run about $900 a month.

Thank you for sharing that.It'sgood toknow I'm not alone.
