Being single & finances
| Wed, 10-03-2007 - 2:51pm |
I am new posting to this board, but have read for awhile. I am 50 years old, have never been married and do not have children. I didn't choose to not be married, it simple never happened for me. I am a very social person with good friends,many of whom are male. I did meet Mr. Right once, but the timing was off and it didn't end up working out. I have a job that I love, but it is in higher education, so I don't make much money. I own a home, mainly because I have a couple dogs (furkids) and where I live you can't find something to rent with animals. I read some of these posts about everyone doing all this fun stuff, traveling, etc. and I wonder, how do you afford it??? I have to work two jobs just to make it month to month. I have always worked two jobs...so I either don't have time to do things because I'm working, I can't afford it,or I'm just too tired! I don't have any problem being home, and I love a good saturday night by myself with a good book, but it does get frustrating when I think that my whole life is spent working just to keep my head at the water line!!! I feel like it would be nice to have someone to share the financial worries with or just to go out to eat with! Most of my friends are married and have kids or they don't live in the same town. So, I don't mind being single, I'm used to that by now, but it is difficult at times to be single. I guess lots of married people would say that it is difficult at times to be married as well!!! Thanks for listening...

I agree with Tall girl here.
You can have dogs, be a responsible pet owner, and have a mate.
I want to change my post.
Money, or the lack of it, does change things.
AJ, enjoying life with C.
