Are you talking about me? Who are you talking about???

No one would debate that your financial situation sucks. On the up side, at least it wasn't money that you personally MADE. Now that would sting. Easy come, easy go, as they say.

I was talking about you in reference to the conversation, that the one good thing going for me is gone. I also think that maybe some of that was money that I made, but I guess it doesn't matter. You are correct that having money never helped me date, but I guarantee not having it will make things a lot worse. A woman in her 30's isn't going to want to "settle down" in a house that is going to collapse with a guy that is horrible with money. It's just another thing to add to the list of reasons to reject me.

I guess that is extreme, but we both know i am an extreme person. Things have certainly changed since then, and I am not one that handles these things well. I still consider us to be friends, I just have to learn to adjust, and maybe learn how to be a friend.
