Cost of Living

People are not comfortable being called a redundant person, but aren't you sometimes feel useless? I got such feelings from time to time when I cannot accomplish my goals - What the hell is this? Why cannot I break the chains to gallop freely and proudly? - Sorry. The blocks are there as I tried for quite a few times already. 

In these times, I usually divert my attention and energy to other things. When I come back, the situation would probably become less stressful and I would come up with new solutions. But it's not always go like that. I also have experienced the impasse after intentional oblivion.

Right now, I suddenly find I had missed a big part of life - cost of living. I had harsh times though, but I always feel I could survive easily no matter how bad the future could be. Now, I change my view. You know what, people would not "buy" you when they themselves had a bad day. Certainly you can undergo those moments and turn the nay to yea, but the problem is that you have bear the cost of living now. 

This brings about the topic of preparation for the future. "You should deposit a certain amount of your income for the uncertainties. " Everybody hears this a lot. But it is somehow a suggestion not easy to follow. We live in the "now" and we spend the "future" NOW- I mean the credit card, the credit loan. 

People are in deep water, because they owe more than they own (ideally they should owe less than they own when they have strong credit) as the credit weakens. yeah, that's suffocating.
