ugh, money woes.
i know there are lots of you on my flist who are seriously fucking GOOD with money - good at saving, good at spending (well, i'm GREAT at that), good at finding deals. i am not one of those people.

i understand not wanting to give up your animals. especially with being bound to your property. i feel similar about my horse - i can't NOT have a horse... but then i think, "christ, if i ever wanna get on my feet something needs to go."
i guess in that case, if jed gives up drinking & smoking, the pony may have to be sacrificed so we can buy a house or have children (and that starts a WHOLE 'nother debate on childfree V horsefree [or just childfree & everything it connotes]). then the pony would have to be leased out or go out on spell for several years, lol.
my dad is all about making money as well and i know he judges me on my bad money skillz. o well.
i think ppl gripe about it for a variety of reasons - do you go and spend everything you have on frivolities every pay day, meaning that youre struggling to pay for necessities down the track? are you disorganised? are you in credit debt by being sucked in and living beyond your means? why haven't you got a better paying job?
we've had friends do it to us here as well! one of jed's friends was like, "you and juanita really need to sort out your money!" as if it was a huge problem.
i think being frugal is a virtue to some, in a way.
