Being in the line of work I am I routinely see a diverse range o f people in financial turmoil. People think that those who get payday loans are all scuzzy, smelly, and gross. But it is in my opinion that for the most part these are the people who pay their debts, and because of the vicious cycle have to reborrow, but it is the ‘classier’ middle class people who never do and are sent to collections.

Now this has brought me to an interesting quandry. Until you see people in severe financial diress, you can not actually appreciate money to its full extent. The value of a dollar has never been so clearly outlined for me as has become apparent from my line of work. Also being on portage, just past Arlington, you see a wild grab bag of characters walking up and down the streets d/t the nut house just down the block, but the people outside seem so desolate at times eating out of garbage cans and sleeping in the alley way. The Wolesley residents to the south seem to just ignore the situation like mold growing on a corner wall. You see large stately homes next to Manitoba housing ‘projects’ it’s really a fascinating area.

But back to my point. I have come to the realization that eventually I will die, and what is the point of working hard and saving my money for nothing, so I vow to always live life to the fullest and spend all my money- which I have been doing a lot of lately. Luckily I am over paid to do such a dull job. As my youth will soon be lost to Davey Jones’ Locker, I plan to have as much fun as I can. Life will catch up with you if you let it, so you must always be one step ahead.
