I know exactly where your coming from. It's part of the cycle of life. Ups and downs. Sucks, but it goes that way.

Let me share my story:

2000

I'm VP of a (then-) successful dot-com livin' large making a phat salary with stock options and a shitload of stock putting my net worth pretty high for a 27 year old. I'm traveling to Europe every month for work. I meet with porn companies even though we were a non-adult company. I fly first class, have a big ass expense account. I'm even planning to get engaged and married....basically livin' like a phat pimp. Oh...and my office is a mile from my house.

Fast forward a year

Then the economy tanked, I lost my job, got seriously injured, had to have surgery, was on cruches for six months, girlfriend left me, have to move out of my phat 16th floor apartment overlooking the SF Bay into a tiny ass "railroad" apt. There's no fucking jobs, so for the first time in my life, gotta go on the dole. Of course, unemployment doesn't go very far in SF....doesn't even cover half my rent. Basically shit sucked. Oh, and I lost nearly ALL my money in the stock market. What was left I spent supplmenting the shitty unemployment check I got.

Fast forward another year.....
Back working.....making decent loot....nothing like before....but my girlfriend is back, we're talking about marriage again. I look at porn half the day. My commute sucks (over 3 hours a day). But, all in all, I can't complain. Compared to that period between livin' like a phat pimp and now, helped me appreciate what I have.

I guess my point is, things are good, bad, in between, whatever....but I think everything happens for a reason. I think the reason I lost everything is because I became an arrogant little rich prick who thought $$$ was everything and would be there forever. I learned my lesson. Now I don't blow the little money I now have like I did before. And, I appreciate shit.

So hang in there bud...it will get better....always does.....

Oh, and if you're pulling a DearAbby (preying people's goodwill...remember the little thread about using the word "tard"?...I'll kill ya!! Don't think you are, but.........w/GFY ya never know.
