Ok so theres this girl that I talk to who was telling me just the other day how broke she is and has some many bills etc to pay and didn't know how she was going to manage as her hubby is struggling too. She is having 3 foreign holidays this year!

Anyway she's just been telling me how she hasn't cooked all weekend as she went out every evening for a meal!

This makes me so mad!

Also a friend of mine who only lives 20 miles away says she could can't come and see me because she can't afford the petrol but then yesterday updates her status on Facebook to say she has just driven halfway across the country!!

    Friend #1: Typical. Some people just can't help themselves and complain all the time about their money situation which is in fact a fairly reasonable situation. I wouldn't even think about it anymore. Next time she complains if you really want to get into it you could say "I feel for you, maybe you want to cancel one of those vacations to save up some"

    Friend #2: I would just ignore that. Too many variables you don;t know - maybe it wasn't her car, maybe someone else paid for the fuel. etc...

    People like this annoy me. There is a vast difference in having no money because you are saving it all /spending it on holidays to having no money because you are in a poorly paid job and can barely find enough cash to pay your bills!

    This is excellent advice:

    Other than that - go for a walk, pound the pavement a little and get fresh air - it always helps me to relieve frustration. xxx
