About 9 months ago, I was making good money, almost 80k a year, but between a constant barrage of dentist appointments and sins, I didn't see a dollar. My girlfriend came up pregnant about 3 months in, and, sure, it's probably on us, but it was the day before her period. I was already in financial limbo. No clue what to do.<br><br>I started selling shit. Everything I owned, all my crap, I had 12 stamp albums full of my father's forefathers. Gone. I had 65 vinyls. Gone. I gave them to my buddy and said pay me back when you can. I had cool kitchen shit. Gone. I sold my Xbox and gave my girlfriend my ps4. I sold about $3000 worth of shit to end up with about $1500 after fees. I now have about $500 left, I also have a car loan and I'm buying stuff with it right now, I also have an apartment and I'm looking to move if only because it's not big enough, I'm just feeling claustrophobic at the moment. <br><br>$27k a year after that is dismal. I'm slowly selling my soul to the plant, working 6 days a week at 10 hours a shift (60 hours) with no extra compensation. I'm slowly losing my mind and it's all due to my poor choices.
