There'll always be someone like "M" in your life, no matter how much you make.<BR/><BR/>You're doing so well for yourself. You're saving up, and looking towards the future. Keep at it. :)krystalatworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549147846423300947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-66944614015586380082007-04-30T00:12:00.000-04:002007-04-30T00:12:00.000-04:00It's tough when you see others spend money so free...It's tough when you see others spend money so freely.<BR/><BR/>One of my friends last year pitched dinner with a group at this swanky bar/restaurant and I took one look at the menu online and it was going to be impossible for me to afford a drink and a meal (starting at $20). I was embarrassed to admit that I couldn't afford it and luckily everyone else chimed in and said the same thing - we were all on tight budgets.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12104373921737620949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-35401346453397628162007-04-29T20:37:00.000-04:002007-04-29T20:37:00.000-04:00I wish it were possible for all of us PF bloggers ...I wish it were possible for all of us PF bloggers to get together for brunch -- not only would we be comfortable saying we can't afford something, we could go on for hours about why! <BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, you think they'd make you <I>pay</I> for products at a launch?

I try to think of it in environmental terms, and (rarely) that helps. I'm not sure that its comparing yourself to others or to yourself, but with much more money. I wish it was more common here in NY to invite people over rather than go out all the time, but everyone is so spread out and appartments are so small...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-70328537121897075422007-04-29T19:28:00.000-04:002007-04-29T19:28:00.000-04:00People will say you shouldn't compare yourself to ...People will say you shouldn't compare yourself to other people.. but it's hard sometimes, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>I guess in the end, you just have to do the best you can for your situation. I mean, you (general you) can save and save and save, and you will never come even close to what some people can make in an hour. But the fact is that you have improved your own financial situation, which would not be possible without your diligent savings. <BR/><BR/>Don't feel too down.Well Heeled Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018900786722067679noreply@blogger.com
