[quote=Anonymous]I'm 22, used to work for a nannying company while going to school for special education. I had help from my parents, but still lived paycheck to paycheck and led a very modest, frugal life.

Then, when I was 21, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and laid off from my job because I couldn't attend a job I was supposed to go to due to waking up that morning with Optic Neuritis (I was blind in one eye for a month because of this). I couldn't get unemployment because I was fired for just cause. I can't get a new job because my health isn't good enough, and I can't get disability because I haven't worked long enough.

I pay over $300 a month in medications and doctors appointments, plus as much as I can scrounge up to slowly pay off numerous hospital bills I have. I'm only taking two classes this semester, because that is all that I can handle with my health the way it is.

I just get SO mad when I see people on this board complain about how they are so poor when they make over 6 figures, or how much their life sucks because they have to buy a 5 bedroom house instead of 6. I just want to shake them try to make them see how difficult life can be and how their problems are so petty! I sometimes have to decide between buying my medications, putting gas in my car, or getting groceries.

When I see threads about 'WWYD if you found 20 bajillion dollars?' and the responses are 'I'd buy a fourth car, take a trip to Tahiti, and invest some, then give some to charity' I just want to yell 'GIVE IT TO ME!'

I don't really know what to accomplish with this thread, other than to hopefully give a wake up call to people out there who think their lives are so difficult even though their wallets are so incredibly fat.[/quote]
