- You steal all your toilet paper from public restrooms and use napkins from pizza places as Kleenex.
- Your diet consists of dumplings, Ramen noodles, and the sandwiches you buy right before the store closes that are half off.
- You have had to make the choice between buying cigarettes and buying food. Cigarettes won.
- You say that not having cable is a "lifestyle choice" and you "don't watch television anyway" but you go over a friend's house to watch True Blood or the Real Housewives.
- You drink water at the bar on the 14th of the month and then run to the ATM at 12:01 once your direct deposit went through. Then it's time for a real drink.
- You take the bus.
- You know when things go on sale at the thrift store.
- A career in porn/escorting/stripping is a serious consideration. (Yes, your mother will find out.)
- You plan an entire weekend around drink specials and open bars.
- All of your furniture is from Craigslist.
- You net more money from eBaying your possessions than from your actual job.
- You cut your own bangs and you think they look good. (They don't.)
- Your mattress is on the floor.
- You have gone out on a date with someone unattractive for a free dinner.
- You spent more than 17 seconds trying to figure out your neighbors' Wi-Fi passwords so you don't have to pay for internet service.
- You don't live in a loft, you sleep on one.
I don't agree with the bus one... I take the bus and make a good amount of money. I refuse to pay $25-30 a day to park my car when I go to work.
yea I couldnt afford a car, but if I could I wouldnt its too expensive.

As I read everyone post I can only smile because everything sound so familiar. We were working on good jobs and making lots of money, but that changed. For a few years we were struggling.....
I now own my own business and I work from home making money.
If you want to change your situation you have to make the change. Let me know if you want to and I will show you how I did it.
