If you're broke and you want to complain about it, feel free to do so. But... don't complain to me and then do ANY of these things:
1. Get pregnant. If you're broke, you should not be bringing anything living and breathing into your life that you have to fully support. Norman and I are not trying to get pregnant simply because we have no idea if Norman is going to have a job through the winter. You bet your ass I would be knocked up or trying if I was financially secure.
2. Buy a house. Norman and I bought a house four years ago. We're broke. We weren't broke when we bought the house. This is different. If you're in the same boat I am, I can relate, however buying a house on unemployment is ridiculous, and makes me want to stab you. We are not so broke that we are even close to losing our house, so please don't think that.
3. Buy a nice car. If you're broke, buy something that runs that isn't too expensive. Or better yet, don't trash the car you've got currently, and wait until you have money to get a good car. I would love to be driving a 2010 4x4 4 door Jeep Wrangler, but unfortunately, nothing is wrong with my camry and we don't have the money to drive to Auburn and buy a Jeep.
4. Go on an expensive vacation. I haven't been on an expensive vacation in months. In fact, I think our Honeymoon was the last time (June of 2009.) I don't care to hear how broke you are, then find out you're taking two weeks off to go to Disneyland. I want to go to Disneyland, but can't afford it.
5. Get a puppy/kitten. They cost money. Enough said.
6. Quit your job. If you voluntarily quit your job and then complain that you're broke, I might run you over with my old, beater car.
7. Pull money from the state simply because you don't want a job. Unemployment because you were laid off is one thing, and most of the people would rather be working than pulling from the state. But if you're not even trying to get a job, I don't believe you deserve that money...
I'm sure there are more things that annoy me, but I'm going to stop here for now... I might add more later.
