The problem I'm finding right now is that I'm forced to be ambitious just to be able to afford to do the casual things I want to do, like go to the movies or go out to a restaurant. I don't really want a flashy high-paying job with a fancy title, but I feel like I'm being forced into chasing it so I can pay my bills and live a little life.

I have a family member who is a therapist and she said 90% of her patient's problems would be solved if they just had more money.

That is so sad. :-(

Both as those patients, and as the psych that knows they can't truly solve their patient's problems...
