I go to stores and see all this great stuff that I know I can't afford... and they're not even creme de la creme stores like Prada, Marc Jacobs, etc. Just your average dept. store... :(
Waaaah! I don't wanna be poor!

You know being poor isn't fun but sometimes the poorest people are the most humble an being rich in heart is so much more important as being rich in your pocket,I pray your not starving or something like this but if you have access to the Internet then your probably in the same shoes I'm in ,just a little broke to get everything you want ,there is a difference in wants an needs ,I had to figure that out as I have got older! Keep your head up !!

You're young. You'll probably earn more as you get older.
I know exactly how you feel. The truth is, you'll NEVER have all the money you want. You just won't.
Think of it as being like a guy who's constantly distracted by all the gorgeous women out there. It would be wrong for him to actually go after every one that caught his eye.
I don't know if that makes you feel better or not - I'm going on the theory that it's nice to know that you're not the only one who suffers!

I know- being poor totally sucks but are u poor or just not able to get the things you THINK u need? I always think Im poor til I look around me. I have a roof over my familys head, food in the fridge and cupboard, gas in my car- a CAR, my computer, 2 little dogs and chinchilla who love me- IM NOT REALLY POOR AT ALL! Just cant seem to afford alot of the things some others can! Thats okay though cuz Im richer than any of them when it comes to love! LAYAWAY! Its great!

Get another job, a part time job to go along with your full time job. Or work more overtime at your job.
Stop going into the mall or all the stores.
Start saving all your change every day in a jar. It adds up quickly.
Start saving $5 a week out of your pay and let it build up.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I'm broke ALL the time. Its gotten so bad I actually can't afford to buy beer anymore. What a tragedy...
Forget the job. Your cost of living is too high. Reduce that as much as possible and you should have plenty of cash to deal with.

I feel bad about not having a lot of money to take vacation and things like that but you know... there is some people who have tons of money and they will give it all for a good health, or to bring back a loved one. life is a journey and we have to hang tough and appreciate what God has given us. there are people at there who are in a much worse situation than you and I. Be happy for what you have, thank God or whatever you believe in and some how you will manage.
good luck

Get a job, if that's not working, get a better one.
Sell stuff on ebay, get a second job, have a garage sale w/unused items.
Don't whine about being poor. Do something about it.

You need to dry off those tears and mature a little. Lots of us girls are low on cash and we still want stuff. We work harder and save up a little at a time. Try it.
