the money thing?

Question

i'm a student and I cant work too much cause I dont have the time. this gets me feeling down a lot of times cause most people i know have parents that are well off and they get to go on trips, travels and so forth. i'm happy for them but it makes me feel like i'm missing out on so much. how do i stop thinking about not having that kind of money.

thanx

Answer 1

You need to ask yourself, is it the money you want or the lifestyle they have? And then if you had the lifestyle, would you still be you? These questions help to focus you on the long run and see that every situation that has molded your personality is something to be proud of. All the rest is just fluff that others use to justify peoples perspective of them.

And in the end when you leave school, you will have contact with so few of them, you will no longer need them as a constant to weigh your life against.

I know its hard. But just change your thoughts... why do you think of all those who are lucky, why not think of those ill fated ones. You have so much than many many thousands of people around the world. Atleast you have a chance to satisfy your primary needs like food, clothing and shelter, but there are millions around who die without even a piece of bread. Just b'cas you have not seen something that bad around, doesnot mean there aren't any such... there are a very many such poor souls...begging for atleast what we throw away.

Well, pls, don't feel bad, you seem to be a good guy, happy at other people's luck. Your attitude is good. Just try to look at it a little differently as I said above, you will feel better, may be even feel happy for so many things!

One more thing, 'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction'...you are working hard, when they go on trips, you are struggling badly today, only to be well off tomorrow. You know something... those who go on trips and enjoy life today are missing on a lot of life's lesson that you are gaining. You are learning to face life at a young age. You are already facing a lot of life's challenges. Remember from every opportunity we can learn and gain something

Come on cheer up! Be happy for all you have and do the best with it. Life will reward you!

work from home or online in your spare time. Hustle, hustle, hustle. Think of things you already do and say how can I make some extra money doing this? Example, I know a lady who wanted to make extra money but couldn't figure out how. After attending a party at her house I told her she should sell some food to co-workers to make a couple bucks. She's making and extra $150-200 a week for an hour of work a day.
