living in debt
recently i’ve been struggling a lot financially… and i know, i know i am one of the few fortunate ones to still have a job (knockonwood), but my parents’ debt (which i guess really is party my own debt in student loans and all that) and my brother’s tuition overfloweth into my checking account.
aaaand i’m broke. and i’ve been really stressed, and burdened, and feeling like this is neverrr going to ennnnddddd
i find myself thinking, is this all i’m living for? holding a job and working for the sole purpose of helping to get myself and my parents out of debt? seriously?
but maybe it is. maybe the hopelessness of my financial debt is supposed to show me the even greater hopelessness of trying to pay the debt that i owed to God.
maybe life isn’t supposed to be easy, so that we can truly appreciate being able to type that letter ‘d’ in the previous sentence…
First blog I read after wakeup from sleep today!

Are you tension? panic?

I am in the same situation, with debt, but the parents are unwilling to cut down on expenses. Passing on debt to you is not right. They were in effect borrowing your future. What will the next 10 years look like for you? Are they aware of what they’ve done?
