What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

[Buffy]

^Awh *hugs* I'll try my best, but it's almost getting to the point where I'll take anything. My parents' paychecks aren't bringing in enough so I should start supporting myself if I can.

So I liked the first episode. I will definitely keep watching this thing.

[Regulus]

Heh... I just found out yesterday that my parents are about to be $50,000 poorer. Potentially, at least. Yep, not looking good. Not at all.

Don't buy a house, if you don't plan to live in it for very long.

[Buffy]

^Wishing you and your parents the best, Reg.

Okay the Suite Life of Zack and Cody doing High School Musical is still one of the best things I've ever seen hahah!

[Regulus]

Thanks.

I'll manage. In the worst case scenario, I'll have to take out a student loan. Still, it's not a comfortable feeling, being screwed over by the economy.

[Buffy]

^Yep! I know the feeling, well, not being screwed over by the economy, but just having little money. Our family can definitely not afford luxuries at the moment and I am beginning to doubt we ever will unless I somehow get a job and can contribute. In which I'll be contributing the most seeing as Mom's work schedule is messed up and Dad doesn't have a steady income (he does odd jobs and plays in bands). We survive though, and that's the main thing. We'll be okay and hopefully you will too.

I should go brush my teeth.

You're not going to make decent money without an education. Unfortunately, one needs money to get an education. Thats the problem that has plagued our society for centuries. It's how the rich stay rich, and the poor stay poor.

Thankfully, my parents understand that. Even when my family was poor enough to qualify for food stamps, my parents were saving up money for me to go to college.

Being poor isn't anywhere near as bad as being financially unstable. The more money you have, the more you have to lose--and the more unstable of a situation you end up in.

Thunderstorm at 3AM. Kinda nice, actually.

[Buffy]

^True, true. What I meant was that if I got a job somehow, I'd end up saving it up seeing as I do not have to pay rent, nor do I participate in a lot of social activities like going to the movies and whatnot. And I also kind of hate shopping unless it's for books and tea. I have goals, and I am going to save my money to reach those goals.

My parents never saved up for me to go to college, I have to earn the money myself and pay for it. They probably would've been able to afford college for me had we not moved to Canada, but moving to Canada was expensive and then my parents didn't want to work for the first year and a half that we lived here and so because of that we are now in this situation. But we'll muddle through!

[KingCub]

^Wishing both of you the best! Me and my family have been fortunate enough to not have to go through any financial troubles, so I don't have much advice to give.

I really need to hang out with her! But, my parents do not understand the concept of boys and girls being friends and nothing else.

[Kiburi]

^^ KC, I know what you mean!

Time for sleep!
Goodnight!

Well, I just found a piano tribute to The Lion King. My life is now complete!
