Now that I have graduated from school, I have no earthly idea what I am suppose to do with myself. I have been laid off 3 times in 3 years -- the last of which was because my fiance/gf is Polish. I have been unemployed for 3 months because of it in an area where my rent is $1100 and unemployment is $293/week. I had to cash in on half of my 401k to pay my bills for the last 3 months<BR/><BR/>I deperately want children, but I can't afford a house to put them in. My wedding -- sad to say -- will be dissapointingly untraditional. And even if it could be I don't have any money for that, and I am the best off of my entire family. <BR/><BR/>I'm here -- authoring a similar biography.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953355194356009265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10789997.post-1118452827606473282005-06-10T18:20:00.000-07:002005-06-10T18:20:00.000-07:00I don't know you but I read your post and wanted t...I don't know you but I read your post and wanted to tell you: I'm the same age and I feel the same way. My life is not what I thought it would be. I was working retail for years too and hated it. My body finally rebelled by sending myself into an agoraphobic depression and I had to move back in with my mom....just know you're not alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10789997.post-1118360488808949022005-06-09T16:41:00.000-07:002005-06-09T16:41:00.000-07:00Hi Jenn,I don't think you're left behind at all. ...Hi Jenn,<BR/>I don't think you're left behind at all. I remember feeling many of the same things you talked about at your age. The whole baby thing hit me really hard in my mid to late twenties. I was 31 when I had my first child and 36 with the second. Now, I'm glad I waited. I've always heard people talk about mid-life crisis but I think, for some of us, it's more like a 20's thing. (My house still looks like crap and I never have time for anything, but the worry is less.)<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a better day tomorrow.<BR/>DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
