Jason's World

Dolla Dolla Bills Y'all

By Jason

Remember in school when they would preach to you about going to college and getting your degree so you could get a good job and not spend your whole life being poor??  Well something is very wrong with that picture.  I went to college...got my degree...got a job...and I'm broke as a joke.  I barely make enough to pay back the loans that I had to take out just to be able to GO to college.

I know, I know...I graduated less than 2 years ago and I should just give it some time and I also know I should be thankful to have a job period...but this is not how I pictured things all of those times at 2 am when I had to motivate myself to keep studying.  This whole growing up and being on your own thing kinda sucks.  Shopping has lost all of the fun it used to have when it was done with my Dad's credit card in hand.  Who knew that several years and 1 degree later I would be scouring the sale racks at the local outlet stores and still deciding that everything cost too much?  Who knew that I would be using coupons at the grocery store?

So listen up, I can now see that things are turning around. The promotions are happening at the plant and I've met Gina who lives nearby at Pickwick. School was important and sticking my head in the books and reading it all makes me a better adult. I'll write more later.
