This just in:
Debt fucking sucks.
Student loans. Credit card debt. Car payments. Its all terrible and pointless. They know they aren’t getting paid unless im getting paid enough for them to get paid and i currently am not getting paid at all. So.. Sorry KMF, Amazon, and Sallie Mae. You are every bit as screwed as i am.
On another note, i am so thankful for all of you and sincerely wish i knew what to say to make this shitstorm less terrible. In the mean time, heres a question. What’s your favorite coping mechanism?

Wouldn’t the point then just being don’t get in debt, and most definitely not into deep?
Don’t buy shit, specially shit one doesn’t “need”. Why buy a house when renting is often cheaper whilst having more and better benefits
Why buy car, use public transportation or alternative transportation or move closer to work
Do you really need that 2000$ Gucci bag?
Yes debt sucks, but ultimately we got absolutely no one to blame for it than ourselves, and “wants”/desires…. and maybe a little peer pressure… and advertisements,.,, and.. oh wait what’s that, uuhhhh shiny! wait what were we talking about?
Right… coping?,
best coping mechanism is obviously buying stuff that makes one happy, and give fuck all about debt.
But then again, I know I’m out before they ever get a chance to collect, so might not work for all
Never truly did have/find a good healthy coping mechanism for anything that really worked.. so let me know too when the answer to that comes
I only have about $70 that came from unnecessary spending. The rest is student loans and car. I lived an hour away from work and could afford to live alone at the time, so i couldn’t move. The car was cheaper. As for the student loans.. I know now that it was a bad decision, but at the time i though it was a necessity. Nothing i can’t fix with ease. Just can’t do it in my current situation. I don’t stress over it much. That’s the least of my worries. Just happens to be what’s on my mind today.
yea, I understand that,
sadly I think money fills a lot of the world and our minds, at one or more points and in one aspect or another
Optimists go into debt. Pessimists go broke.
Seriously though, you made investments in yourself and that’s the smartest thing anyone can do. It just sucks that investments, even smart ones, don’t always pay off very fast. I don’t know if declaring bankruptcy or loan default is an option, but think of it like suicide. It wipes the slate clean. Then you have rebuild with whatever comes next. Actually a pretty swell idea (bankruptcy as well as suicide).
My favorite coping mechanism is chemical irony. I love taking sleeping pills first thing when I wake up. I love ODing on coffee right before I go to bed. My favorite is to take sleeping pills & OD on coffee at the same time.
It’s actually very ironic that I don’t do serious drugs, considering how badly I want to escape reality. Because see, that’s what they’re expecting me to do.
What’s yours Sams?
Salt, i have too many to count and none of them are working.
I know the feeling. The only other coping mechanism I have is sleep. But the waking up part kinda defeats the purpose.
@Salt
amen to to that.
and then when finally manage to sleep long, they go tell you “bla bla bla sleeping 18 hours and more isn’t healthy, depression bla bla bla”, well whats the alternative, waking up? seems to happen eventually on its own anyway!.. sadly…
I hate sleeping.. Also hate being awake. Well.. We’re all screwed.
My favorite coping mechanism is agitating the proles to throw off the shackles of their enslavement, and eat rich people. They’re delicious and good with ketsup. I will not rest until Sallie Mae is a (figuratively) smouldering crater in the economic landscape, and student loans are a mythological creature. Which means I’ll be awake for a reaaaaaaaally long time. Viva la resistance! Or something!
I almost spilled my coffee. Lmao oi to that, mate.
