So just went to the movies with my best friend tonight. We saw Secretariat, it was really good. I'll probably see it again tomorrow with my mom and two sisters XD
But anyway, after the movie, on the drive back home, Staci starts talking about her bills. Apparently she's 3 months behind on her mortgage, the cable company just cut off her cable and internet because her bill is over $250 and she's behind on it (her monthly bill for cable and internet is only $30 a month, that's like 7 months behind. I think they were pretty justified in cutting it off). And she's complaining to me about all this, and ya it sucks being in this situation, but I'm sorry I just can't feel any sympathy for her. I've sympathised plenty in the past, but this situation she's in now, is 100% her fault.
She doesn't buget/manage her money at all. She doesn't plan ahead. Major impulse buyer. And it doesn't help that her boyfriend is a dead-beat. I get mad just thinking about it. He's an alcoholic, he spends at LEAST $150 a week on weed, and he goes through a pack of smokes every 2-3 days. Plus he likes to party, so blows money like that too. And then he has the nerve to tell her he doesn't have enough to pay full rent!? He basically blows $1000 a month on his bad habits. I'm sorry but that's fucking bull-shit. Either man up Staci, or shut-up and lie in the bed you've made.
Her financial situation started steadily going down hill ever since he moved in with her (which happened after only 2 weeks of dating. um hello can you say opportunist?) and she is aware of this. He talks to her like shit, and when he's drunk he is such a dick, he talks to her like she's stupid. It's really fucking embarrassing.
I'm sorry but it's not worth putting up with that kind of crap just so you don't have to be alone. I don't understand how she can stay in a relationship like that. I thought she was stronger than that, but maybe I was just projecting. I would never, ever put up with that. I would either figure out a way to fix it instead of just letting it continue, or I would say fuck this shit get the hell out of my house and out of my life.
I guess I'm just really disappointed in Staci. She complains like she expects someone to swoop in and fix her bad decisions. Uh- ya, not going to happen.
