Nothing is more Joyless than being financially resposible in your late teens/early 20s

Do you know what is worse? Being broke.

that is quite yoyless yes

Joy comes and goes - just like the money 😁

Shrug….it is all I’ve ever known. My dad was disabled when I was very young and unable to work. So I worked. I’ve never stopped working…and it feels like it’s been my life to support others.

The joy comes from not struggling with the basics later on down the road.

I was the opposite and it was also joyless. I think that’s how being that age goes.

Other than learning to spell of course...

well I can help you with your financial situation D..

You are going to hate me for this. But the moment I saw your post, this quote by Jack Nicholson from "As good as it gets" popped into my mind,.
" How do you write women so well?
" I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."😷

Welcome to adulting

Welcome to the jungle baby girl, but I can tell you, it gets better, it just takes time.

I’m not responsible yet and I’m in my 40s

The struggle is real

Axiomatic.

I agree. That's why I always called daddy to the phone when mom answered.
