There are times, like right now, where I have no freaking clue how I am going to pay some of the bills I have, let alone pay for the everyday things like gas to get to work so I can make try to make the income I earn. But, you push through and you move on. You find ways to make it happen. Even if there doesn't seem to be a way, you find a way. This is a mantra of mine I have lived by. Luckily, I have an awesome group of family and friends that help me sometimes. Even when I am too stubborn to ask them myself.
Too many times I have seen people just give up completely and completely mooch off the their family and friends and the Government. A lot of times, ruining the relationship they had with their family. Where it seems that they only need or want them when they need or want help with money.
Do not get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with asking for help or hell, being on some kind of Government assistance plan to help supplement your income until you are able to get completely back on your feet. But too many times too many get too reliant on other sources paying for everything that they need.
Another thing that really irks me, are the people who always say there are no jobs. There are jobs out there, but probably not the jobs those people are used to or want to do. Keep in mind, I am not necessarily talking about the people laid from a job making 60K+ a year. Those "good jobs" are sometimes really hard to find. And if you worked your butt off working in that job for years, I think you are entitled to your unemployment of up to 80% until you are able to find a job where you made something comparable to what you were making before.
No, I am talking about the people who jump from job to job, people who haven't had a job that makes more then 10-12 an hour. People who are in their mid twenties and above who think working fast food or labor jobs is beneath them. The people who usually quit the job, other then being laid off or fired. I am talking about those people. Those people I want to smack. Especially the ones who have a family to support, but do nothing to support them themselves, since they know the Government will not let them starve and especially if you have children, will also probably pay for your rent and utilities and now even a basic cell phone.
And you do not even want to get me started on people that are single and that are homeless. There, in my opinion only a couple reasons where you find yourself homeless. One, you are disabled in some way and for some reason, due to your situation cannot or on a waiting list for Government help. And the second reason, which does happen sometimes, you from no fault of your own had the worst luck. Setback after setback and something was always coming up to get you to that point where you found yourself with no place to live.
To all those single parents, families with smaller incomes just making ends meet and not giving up and fighting everyday for the best life you can provide, you guys rock. Keep fighting and hard work and dedication does eventually pay off. Like anything in life, you have to work hard for what you want. Almost nothing is going to be just given to you, you have go out there and take it. You have to go out there and work your ass off for success. Though it seems like some people have better luck and someone kiss ass more then work hard for their position, hard work does pay off. I know, I have been there. And I am getting back to that place now.
When there is not a way, you find a way!
