hrm... it's been odd here in my head lately...

I think it's because I've been focusing a lot more on the physical and temporal than I have in a long time.

That's mainly been brought on by the current financial stress and need to buckle down and figure out some career stuff--things very rooted in the here and now. And there is progress going on there, so panic should be abated

If you ever need someone hash out your financial situation with, let me know.

Often people will say it comes down to "You spend more then you make", but that isn't very helpful.

Cool. Will do.

My current financial situation comes down to the fact that I don't make enough to cover what I have to pay to take care of what I spent when I was making nothing.

Only real solution for me (aside from bankruptcy) is getting a new job that actually pays me enough to cover my expenses. (And, hopefully, that's well on its way to happening... finally.) :)

Well, the other thing to remember is that there is more then one way to file bankruptcy. There is one that wipes debt, and then there is the other that restructures debt payments. (One of the clients for my night/weekend business is a bankruptcy attorney, so I get to hear lots about it on the side while I fix networks and software!)

Or to get a second job. Or to drastically cut expenses. Or to rob a bank.

They may not be ideal options. And they're certianly not long-term solutions. But they are options.
