Money! Where does it all go? Sometimes I feel like I'm just a hapless vehicle for its movement from one financial company to another. It's only halfway through September and already the cupboards are running empty and the coffers are gathering dust after being wiped clean by repayments on credit cards, loans, taxes and the house.
It's quite stressful really. Although earning slightly below the national average, what I do bring in is mostly quickly zapped up the moment it touches down into my bank account each month.
One looks around to see where it might all have been spent down the years, but I am always slightly puzzled by where it could have gone. Interest repayments probably! Sure, I've had some good times - a few trips here and there; the odd DVD or book; perhaps even a night out once in a blue moon! But, darn! I just can't see why I'm still feeling poorer than I ever have - even more so than when I was a student - despite earning more than I ever have; it just doesn't make sense.
A (substantial) lottery win would be most welcome at this stage, though of course the odds are stacked against that happening. What to do, what to do!
