Life Was Getting Too Good.....

just when all seemed well, and my existance was becoming a calm content one--BAM i screw up, I lost my rent $ 450 down the tube-just trying to imagine that some poor mexican family with 6 kids is gonna have a great x-mas this year--mine on the other hand won't be nearly as rosy--MAN why do i gotta be so stupid!!!!!!!!!! oh well--gotta try to let it go--nothing i can do about it--my freind and my mom both jumped my casea about having that kind of cash on me--heinsight is 20/20--like that is what I neede to hear at the time...the reason i deal only in cash is because im trying to be more responsible--last time i had a bank card i ended up cutting it in half because i was spending too much $$$--anyway hope you all are good
i'm so sorry to hear this. Maybe try getting a hold of some kinda agency or chruch to help. I lost my money once RIGHT after i cashed a 600.00 dollar check. i left my purse in the cart at a store it was stole i called the cops and everything. I was real upset i was telling my sons teacher about it she called her chruch they paid my rent.I HAVE ALWAYS been very greatful to that chruch for doing that. This was years ago. I was so mad at myself for leaving my stupid purse unguarded. I feel for you hon. What totally crappy timing too. At Least i lost mine in augest.
Oh, Amity, I was just saying how really good you sounded. Well you know what? You still sound good - very accepting and not at all victimized - if that ain't growth I don't know what is. It stinks, it really does, but no one should be making you feel all crappy about it - like you don't feel crappy enough already. My daughter is like you - cash only - because she doesn't yet trust herself financially. I think you are doing great, I really do. Don't let it ruin your holidays - and believe, like I do, that good things are coming your way.

Peace~MomNMore
thanks you two--not that im glad you ost 600.00 but it makes me feel better that im not the only one and yeah--i was surprised at how well im taking it it helps that i have agood job and steady income--I know it will be ok, if it had been a year ago and i was on poblic assistance or in active addiction, then id be facing eviction or worse.....but still i wanted some new clothes and to buy my son a car he can really drive--ok i better get off my pity pot before i get a ring around my arse love you all....
Maybe it will be returned. Just yesterday here a women was at a rather large mall and lost her wallet. In it was 1000.00 in cold hard cash, she was about to do her Christmas shopping.

Within hours, she was contacted and the wallet was returned to her complete with every cent. The person that found it wanted to remain anonymous. It was on the local news here because the women wanted to thank the person in real life.

Did it fall out? Was it stolen? Can you make a police report? I hope that you get it back.

Sorry...I hope you get it back. That just plain sucks.
