I Wish I Had More Money

I hate, hate, hate that every single waking hour I'm always thinking of money. Which is more important, bills or food? I hate asking my Aunt for money, it's time now that I be financially independent and comfortable with my finances that I don't have to make a choice on either food or bills and which bills do I pay this month. Being an adult isn't fun when you don't have money.
I thought having an education would at least release the burden of being poor but it just left me financially unstable. For all those who made it work; props to you. :-/

What did you get your degree in if you don't mind me asking?

@black4white i was gonna ask the same, not to meddle but out of curiosity

@black4white As a medical lab technician. At the time when I first started, med techs were in high demand but now with the current situation with the economy, few private labs and government labs are hiring.

@iamnikki exactly the same reason i am asking

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@theawkward1 can you use those skills to do something like phlebotomy? They make decent for entry level.

black4white · 56-60, M

@iamnikki good idea or some other area in the medical lab field

theawkward1 · 31-35, F

@iamnikki No. Although I did learn to draw blood in the MLT program, to work as a phlebotomist in my country you need to undergo a phlebotomy course and be registered as a phlebotomist.

@theawkward1 look onto it. If you're struggling financially,you probably qualify for financial aid. Cut back whatever expenses you can. Eat cheaply for a while,soup,sandwhiches...
