i can't enjoy life, to the fullest,until I have the money to do the things I want to! I want to travel! I want to finaceally independent so I can afford to buy better car! I want to be able to have money so I don't have to ask for help when I need car repairs! I want to live in a better neighbor hood! I can't do anything like this unless I have money! Savings money for me is a joke! I still have a real hard time doing it! I should of had a plan to do this years ago but it never crossed my mind! I am effected by the bad economy! I never will get married! I probaly will be short changed (Along with my siblings) or get nothing from my fahter when he dies! So I REALLY NEED TO WIN THE LOTTERY! I enter it on a regualar bases! If I don't I am really,really,screwed in the future! Big time! I can't say that enough!

You can actually enjoy life without too much money. Or you can enjoy life having those money but you have to work for it. If you really wanna do that thing you wanna do so bad, you have to earn it.

I have tried to earn it but life gets in the way! So does makeing alot of ton of money mistakes over the years! My parents didn't teach me the right thngs about money even when I asked! It has taken me forever to realize what to do and not to do! I am a very slow learner! That is why I need money to enjoy life!

Well, if you really need money, ranting here won't give you any useful solutions, will it? Think of ways on how you're gonna get rich and stop focusing on the let downs.

Well, I think there are times in one's life when we all have felt like this. Especially when prices continue to go up day by day at the grocery store, etc. and it makes you wonder. The pay never goes up really to match the cost of everything, and it can be quite hard. But for me that is when I have learned to put more Trust in God and lean on him a little more. It may not always be easy but it seems to work out more in the end.

I finally got a raise in December. Know of my raises never come cover the raise in cost of living! Gr! I constantly worry about money and no matter what I do I continue to! Until I am,somehow,finally secure I will continue to worry! I have put my faith in God in the past and I will never again! I am still disgusted with him for not helping me when I really need help! It is so frustrating!

Money makes the world go round, ha! Dig deep, there's more to life. Joy does not always come from the outer (money-driven matters), joy comes from within. God bless you!

Believe me,life doesn't come from the inside! Believe me! I have done a ton of searching and have been let down! God has even let me down! The money I want and deserve will be the only way for me to enjoy life! It is the only way! The only way!

Money Matters a lot.Think about so many poor people around us who are starving everyday even for a piece of bread.But do we care when we waste food or water?we really dont.If we have money will we contibute to even a small extent to recover our nation from poverty.Need for money never ends.If you have a ford today you will want a ferrari tomorrow.So the most required thing is need based analysis.How much we need really to survive.The extra amount we earn can we contibute it for the good cause of a nation?Have patience.Always think about the more poorer people around you.If you can really feel,you will feel sorry for them.So lets join hand to brush aside the poverty of the nation first.You will definately enjoy the life then.

Take one step at a time friend. Almost everyone, including me, wants some of the things you want so just rant away and hopefully you'll be lucky next time in the lottery.

I do play the lottery! I play it a few times a month! I do buy scratch off tickets every month and do win on those. Not alot! The most I have won on one ticket is $15.00. I will keep on playing until I win!

One advice though: If you keep buying the lottery you'll lose your hard-earned money even faster. Don't coz it'll wipe out all your savings or money. I know what you're going through. I also hope to have more money so that I can travel.

Oh brother! I only play the lottery a few times a month! I don't do this all the time! I am crazy but not stupid! I don't spend more then $20.00 a month on the lottery and scratch off tickets! I know better! Geez! Give me a break! If I had money I would not be ranting about it!

So often money seems to be the obstacle that keeps us from enjoying what we want from life. It doesn't have to be that way. We should appreciate and enjoy life with what we have. money doesn't guarantee that we will enjoy life after all.

On the lighter side - MONEY MONEY Its all about money... Dear you are not the only one around... Many of us are. It is the only tool that can help you do all that stuff... In the present day scenario- YES. I wonder what happened to the Barter trade that once existed... but then, I would have nothing left with me. Lolsss. Seriously speaking - Money is not all to crave for... there are many other good things too. I think having a peace of mind is better than having a load of money and trying to think - how do I save the money from burglars or the Income Tax Deptt. - after all it is my hard earned money. I think, these thoughts are momentary and you would calm down soon. Do not make these thoughts a regular habit. Take Care. Sids.

Like I don't know these things! I am not stupid! I need money to enjoy life! To live my dreams! To help animals and people I want to help! I wouldn't keep all the money for myself! GEEZ! I am selfish at times but I am not selfish! You make me out to an idiot and I am nuts! You sure don't know me even though you think you do! I hate people like you!

Hi, I can understand your frustration, but i dont thing Lottery is the solution. It is not to be trusted. Would suggest that you look for a good job and also work on the net parttime. You are already on mylot and that is really good. Join some other good genuine sites where you can get paid and i believe your problems would certainly get solved. Dont loose hope...Keep trying!!!

Happiness is a state of mind. You can enjoy life to the fullest even if you don't have money. Money is just a tool. Focus on what you have even if it is a little. Try to think of what you want in life, what are the things you want to have, what are the places you want to go and the person you want to become. When you focus on the positive things that you want, the universe will arrange itself to your way. And be ready to receive it. And believe that you will receive it.

i agree with you, but to have money we need first a job to earn it. winning a lottery is a luck but not a guarantee to happiness... even the richest man on earth seems to be not contented in his life...

My dear friend; you are facing with the serious problem.money is very important indeed,but we don't say that we have money ,have evrything.in our life we needn't compare with others except what we need in our life.when we compare with "excellent person",or better thna us ,we will feel lack for confidence,so we don't always want to have some things that others own.have a good time

I can only have the goodtimes when I have the money! If I wouldn't be awful with money and making so many unbeleivible money mistakes I would not be ranting about it! I can't help people and animals that need help that I wnat to help either! With money I can! When I have I will! Until then I can't!
