payday advance

One thing I have learned in college is that when you are playing around with money, you can either view what you got as a juggling act or a ball around your neck. See, I have been on my own since I was a very young child so I have no fear of being left out in the rain without money. I am a little more willing because of this loan business to play the game rather than just to say the hell with all of it. I know some kids that freak out every time they get a loan interest bill or an electric bill. It doesn't matter to them if everything is going to be fine. They just see the money sign and the word bill and they start sweating and snarling. I don;t think that gets you anywhere because I know it's all gonna end some day and why should I have to worry about money which comes and goes when it wants to. That's not to say that I don't keep up on the bills and do my work because I do it harder than anybody I know. I on the other hand am not driven by fear and worry, but by an honest desire to live my life and experience everything there is. When I get in to dire straights in terms of finances I go out and fall in to my safety net. I don't worry about taking out a payday loan or getting a cash advance. I mean people view taking a hand out when you need it as something that knocks you down a notch. I think if you really need something and it's available, then take it. My buddies asked me that a month ago when I was short on the rent and took out a payday advance. They were all kind of shocked that I didn't have some other way of working it out. I just said look man, I have two days till I will have the money due today, I don''t mind taking the hand out for a tough situation. I think that it's all about your prior experiences and mine have conditioned me in a way to just realize that everything works out and it doesn't ever help you to freak out about something as intangible as money. I mean you can't eat food, and you can't honestly feel good about stealing it because it gets you things, so why do you worry about it so very much. I guess that's just something they will have to work out within themselves someday.
