Just talking about money gives me a headache. It is amazing how living in what is known as an industrialised country is stressful. Even if you make enough money by working you end up with less than 25% of it at the end of the month. Let us start with the taxes before your money even hits your bank account, then it is time for rent, car and insurance payments, power, utilities, credit card, gas, and last but not least groceries. Now you barely have a couple of hundreds in your account and you think okay now I can maybe have a break and go out somewhere or invite some friends over, but reality soon sets in that you better not because of the economic situation and what is going on and how businesses are doing really bad, and the downsizing of the employees and that you might be out of a job ! Every body is gloomy, and I thank god that at least it is summer and the weather and sunshine is free to be enjoyed by all, but imagine if all this gloom carries on into winter what it would be like !
Like I said it is summer and the weather is amazing, so some positive thinking will go a long way.

Come home . You won't have to worry about the rent ,gas ,medical ( since it is all free here , lol ) , insurance ( since we don't believe in that system , only the INSHALLAH system works here , lol !), or the electric bill .Even the cell phones are cheaper . And plenty of fresh air ,fruits and veggies too ! Come home to Libya girlfriend !
ReplyDeleteI wish it was that easy ! Thanks for the kind words. I realise that by complaining it doesn't make it go away but at least the venting makes one feel better for a while. I realise that once you make your bed you have to lie in it , so will have to jump on the threadmill until I fall off again. Falling makes one get up and dust off and continue, so life goes on.
