How can you still enjoy life when you always experinece financial pressure ?

My hubby is working and working day and night and paying only the interest. But the credits remain. We have a big financial problem. But we live happily. I don't think about the whole day. My aim is to be happy. so I creat happy situations. Just playing jokes on others, playing with children etc..etc. Most of the happiness we creat are with no cost.

Even if I am single and live with my family but I still need to participate in carry out the responsibility to support my family as both my parents are not working. Yes it is a pressure indeed since I like doing business rather than working with others and I have no support from others in terms of advices and financial help (they can't understand me), work on my own everything by my own and financial is one of the issue. But as long as I am doing things that I like and at least I can give some money or contribute to pay my family expenses then I still can enjoy my life.Money is not everything, if spending more money will make me happy then I will always in pressure because of it.

With money pressure I can't afford to go on vacation anywhere! I don't have money to buy alot of the clothes I need to buy! I spend more on things I really need, like gasoline. I have not truly enjoyed life in a very long time! I am always worring about money and bills! I get so wraped in my own little world I forget what is importenat! If I had more money I could and would enjoy life more!

There is always going to be some kind of financial responsibiliity in life. Therre is no way of getting around that unless you have someone else to pay all of your debts for you. You just have to enjoy what you can in life in the way that you can even though you still have the financial woes. you shouldn't let life just pass you by.

hi there, i also cant do whatever i want i admit i cant enjoy my life that much because of financial instability. well, i have some savings but i try to not touch them. i am a practical kind of person and i don't buy stuffs i don't really need. and i don't like borrowing money from other people, and i don't like monthly bills, so i pay everything with cash. i don't like credit cards because well we all know everything's tempting when have CC's hhehhee. so since i don't have that much money, how can i enjoy life better? so instead of going out, i stay at home, instead of shopping, window shopping may do for a while i don't have a job yet since there is still one major exam i need to take to finally be a registered nurse. then when i pass (hopefully), i'll look for a job right away and so i can start earning and saving. maybe only at that time i can somehow get some of the things i want. i hope you find a job soon, keep on looking and i wish you the best. good luck and take care

For me financial problems is just a way to test you resolved in life.That is how you handle this kind of problem.As human we tend to be affected easily when don't have stable job to support our family.But we can always live life happily with the financial problem set in.Why because we have to be resilient in order for us to be more positive in life.Don't stop looking for a job,ask your friends if they know job vacancies in their locality.Upgrade your skills,if you're an office person and it is difficult for you to find jobs relating to your finished courses,then it is high time that you must look for a way to learn something new skills that you can use to find another type of job.Good luck and live your life to the fullest with your family.

My motto to life is "it is what it is" Thats not a pessimistic perspective its realistic. I know that things happen for me in waves or seasons. Just because its one way today doesn't meant that there is no opportunity for me a day away, a month 6 months, Hopefully sooner than later. But I always believe that things work out Always and thats what I put in the forefront.

I think that you are doing well to earn on-line. My Lot is a very enjoyable place to spend time I think. I know that seeing friends is a lovely thing to do. Free stuff to do includes walks to the beach, the forest and the countryside. You might be able to afford to have a picnic where there is a picturesque view. Maybe you have a tent or you could borrow one from a friend. If so you could go camping for a weekend. It is a shame that during a recession jobs are hard to find. Therefore it might be worth you doing some voluntry work. This would give you a referance that would impress a future employer. I think if you do a few free things you will be happier about having so little money. Good luck.

its very difficult to be happy when you are in financial difficulty.What programs are you trying.This amazon mechanical turk is good program to earn money.Have a look at it.Also gather some extra sources.Try to sell online if you know any source of getting stuff cheap.Ebay is excellent place to start. I did all these things when i was going through difficult period.

Our family has also been through a lot of financial stresses during the past few years because of changes in my husband's income (not the loss of a job, thank goodness). With that said, we've found a lot of ways that we are able to enjoy our lives without spending a lot of money. I don't think that our children would have the appreciation of nature that they have if it was not for the fact that we take free trips for hiking and other things like that because we don't have money to spend on luxuries.

I agree that it is hard to enjoy life under financial pressure. I'm blessed my family is not making me pay rent yet. I do have some other bills. The problem for me is that it's hard to meet a lady if you're poor. Now it looks like I might be getting on my feet (I have a part time job and if my book sells) and here come the creditors. One creditor is threatening court action and asked for my bank account information. And they want payment next week. I can't do that. And my phone rings all of the time because creditors keep hounding me. If I answer the phone, they question why I don't have a job and we get in an argument and my blood pressure goes up. A couple of weeks ago, I got a Trac Phone, so now I will turn my phone off so I don't get any more calls from the creditors. But I still feel under pressure.

You need to focus on the small things in life that are still good, until things get better for you. I know it sounds hard to do, but it can be done, believe me! Enjoy nature, nice weather, your friends and family or whatever you think of, to the fullest. And remember that things will get better eventually!

It is so hard to be able to fully relax when so worried about money. This really is a tough one. I understand what it is like to not have money.
