    There is so much i can take. I put up with siht every single day of my life. From my family, to a stressful job, driving with idiots making up their own rules of the road. All my 27 years of life, i haven't got anything to show for it. Went to college at 17. That was to early for me to decide what i wanted to do with my life. I didnt like the course. Landed my self a job and its the same thing day in day out.9hours a day.Colleugues that work against you rather than with you. It seems as if they are trying to be competetive. "I did better than you". Its not as if the management thanks you for it, they dont. I haven't travelled. I get paid and the money is gone again in a few days.I dont even drink.Where is all the money going? Or where does everyone get their money to go off travelling.I dont get paid enough to save.Half my family are stuck up and dont speak to me.They just want things to go their way.It was always about them.No consideration for others.I just want everything to be fair.Oh but no,it doesnt matter about me or what i think.

    Nothing seems to go my way.I just want to achieve one thing i always wanted to do.And i will be happy.Im giving myself another year and if i dont succeed, i just want to end it.
    Sorry for the rant.

    Hello

    What is it that you want to achieve, and what would prevent you from doing it within the next year? Have you a plan on how you would do it?

    Re the finances, and where you don't know where the money goes, maybe look at askaboutmoney.com, it is a great website with suggestions on how you go about tracking your inflows/outflows and budgeting, and where you can potentially make savings.

    It is sometimes hard to see the woods from the trees until you take a detailed look at this and listen to other's suggestions.

    If some of your family members are getting you down, well then maybe steer clear of those individuals for a while until you are feeling more positive

    Hi OP, really sorry that your feeling so peed off, but don't think that you are the only one, even when things go really well for me sometimes I feel in bad form. You need to focus on positives in your life though. Are you debt free? Are you healthy? Have you good friends?

    I have a big family and we are quite close but there are times when I need to avoid them just because I can't be dealing with their kids, partners, problems etc., When I was turning 30, 7 years ago, I remember thinkin that I had nothing to show for it, but when I sat down to think about it I had a lot more achieved than I thought.

    No matter where you are in life and what job you are in you will meet people that just get on your nerves, thats a fact, in every classroom or lecture hall there will be at least one pain. You have to let it go over your head. You are better off than most believe me, so try to cutback on your spending for a month just to see what you can actually survive on, think of it as a challenge and you might be surprised where your money goes, I have one brother who spends a lot of money every day on takeaway coffees, bottled water and Red bull, it could be something as simple as that. Best of Luck, I think you will be ok.
