Topic: I hate the holidays. >:/
Ks !KansasxqvM started this discussion 15 years ago #14,427
Why? The holidays are fucking expensive. You know what else I have to pay during the holiday season? Bills and fucking taxes. It's not like I have a bunch of extra money all year that I can save up, I'm good with my money... there is just not enough of it. It's all fun and games when you're young and living at home, but for adults this. shit. sucks. No wonder the holidays are so fucking depressing. Fuck Christmas and Thanksgiving. New years is okay I guess, except I don't drink anymore, so fuck that too. BAH FUCKING HUMBUG

...and having to contend with the omnipresent Christmas music and traffic and foaming-at-the-mouth consumers whenever you go out. ...and having to dance around people's butthurt when you don't want to drive to fuck-off-nowhere for a Christmas party or exchange gifts with people. Fuck it all.

Property taxes is the big killer. I was even looking for part-time work for last 6 months or so to soften the blow, but nothing is fucking available.

I'm looking forward to it. Double pay at work for coming in for Christmas lunch and infinite cider all holiday. Can't wait.
Yeah it'll probably suck when I've got my own house but that's not for a bit yet.

Lucky you! I jelly. What do you do for a living?
> Yeah it'll probably suck when I've got my own house
I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I made more money, but by the time I pay everything there is not much left over. The economy has effected me like most everyone else... it wasn't always this tight. I've lived virtually broke for around a year. I can pay the bills... I used to 'supplement' my income by selling certain things, but I've gotten away from drugs and alcohol so that's out.

Nothing fancy, I wash dishes in a hotel kitchen. It's much more fun than standing idly behind a till having to deal with chavs all day though.
> it wasn't always this tight
True. We've been in this economic downturn for so long now so it's probably starting to feel like the norm for some people.
