I’m very bad with money and it tends to hit hard with depressive cycles. I end up just buying all kinds of shit I think I can afford (and in some cases can), but then go overboard on other things and running out of money once can turn into a really bad cycle. Trying to figure my way out of probably the worst I’ve ever gotten myself and it’s tough because there’s just no way to get rid of the heaviest hitting expenses. It’s somewhat embarrassing though, because I make more money than a good many of my casual acquaintances, but am likely significantly more broke.
The last time this happened to me, my solution was to take even more debt to move to a new job that doubled my salary. I had a plan to be debt free in ~2 years, but that kinda fell apart with COVID. I suppose I could try and do that again, but I’m not in a position professionally to take a better job.
