Looking Through the Eyes of an Optimist

Before I started school I was working in a high paid job. I couldn't do that job anymore when I started school so I got another job that doesn't pay that well. I got money problems but I don't blame the economy crash, I blame myself for spending all that money on things I don't even remember.

I have basically been living off my family and they are very helpful. The only thing that bothers me is the price of gas but that has been high for more than a year. The thing is... I wouldn't be so broke if I would change my lifestyle. Stop eating junk food and take the bus. And there is plenty of junk food to eat, no shortage on that!

I haven't met anyone who has been that much affected by the economy crash, maybe because I don't know that many rich people or people who took a loan to buy everything they own. I just get on with my life and nothing has changed me. I can still afford most things and all the luxury things that aren't a necessity, I can skip cause you don't have to spend huge amount of money just to have some fun.
Yes, the prices have gone up on movie tickets, restaurants and other entertainment places but do I really have to go pay to have some fun? We have our houses, our T.V. our stereo and our computers, and not to be much of a cliché, we have each other.

That's entertainment people!

Can't afford a book? Write a book. There is always something to do without spending money and that's pretty much how I live today, and it is even better than spending money.

When it comes to me, I have been affected by the prices going up but I can change my lifestyle and then it wouldn't be so much of a problem. Life goes on, Fun as ever.
