Wouldn’t this make you sick?

To get my education it took me 5 years in three different colleges. I am working in my field and have a good paying job. I have been paying my student loans for the past 8 years and have 12 years to go before they are paid off. My two nephews did not finish high school they have moved to Alberta and both have jobs on the oilfields. Both their individual yearly salaries are almost double mine and they have no student loan dept.
I’m happy for them but it really pisses me off!

I can’t help but wonder was it worth it going to school? Would I have been better off not going?

Ahhhh the great what if!!!

Ever feel like just throwing in the towel and saying I give up you win?

Life has its ways of making me feel like that and this is one of those occasions. I don’t know what it is but for some reason I am not meant to get ahead in life.
I have spent the last 7 years working my ass off to get my credit report clean so that I could increase my credit score which would give me the opportunity to make my families’ financial life a little easier. Then Life comes knocking at my door. And bang I’m knocked back down again. Not that I had very far to fall that is. But it’s typical of how things go for me. I was just starting to see the light at the end of what has been a very long deep and dark tunnel but now the light is gone and once again only darkness remains. I know I’m not the only one this happens to but just this once couldn’t something good happen to help my family and I move ahead instead of always one step forward and two steps back? Is it to much to ask to have a plus instead of a negative every once in awhile?
