I broken up with my boyfriend because of his finances, and part of me feels like a horrible person. I always insisted that I would never dump someone because they didn't make a lot of money, but I'm afraid he'll never have a stable career as a journalist. He's been looking for a job since graduating 6 months ago, and I know the economy is rough, but I feel like he just doesn't budget the money he has. He also filed for bankruptcy a year ago (after a series of family hardships and the death of his mother) so he has trouble getting credit. And he doesn't have a clear plan to pay back his loans.

I'm self employed and work has been slow the past couple of months.I'm hustling but it's really slow, maybe it's the economy. I've saved my money and have been very careful lately, I don't have any debts, but i'm concerned. I want to work on my own but I think I will have to find another source of income!

Dating was not this hard a few years ago and men were not such assholes. Well, they were but not so bad as they are now. Is it economy ? Wtf.

I don't know how much longer I can stand being in a relationship with someone that I love but hasn't been able to hold steady income since the economy tanked. I know it's not his fault but I'm not getting any younger. I refuse to get remarried unless he has stable income. BTDT. WWYD?

33 votes, and all the debates that go along with them, in the republican house to repeal the health care bill. Why are we paying the salaries of those people who are wasting all of this time knowing, from the beginning that their attempt to repeal the bill was going nowhere? Is there nothing else that may warrant their attention, like the economy. Seems like making our president look bad is foremost on their aganda, and that's what we're paying them for.

Repo men and bill collectors love this economy.

Bitter, passive aggressive, bitchy, angry old jealous female managers love FUCKING love this economy. Cant wait to see karma get their dried up old asses for their power trips. Hopefully soon, this shit is getting old.

Controlling parents love this economy.

I'm going to be 38 in August. I've been in a relationship 4yrs but we can't progress (marriage) because he's broke since the economy tanked and can't sell/rent his house. I refuse to financially support a man ever again so I won't let him move in until he has stable income. He's really nice but I am so SICK of waiting. I keep wondering if I should just move on but my luck the next guy will be financially stable but an asshole. That's how it always goes for me. I don't know what to do anymore, maybe just be alone...

My SO and I live apart. We want to find a place together, but it's been really hard in the economy to get even a one-bedroom apartment in a safe neighborhood. At present I share a house with three people. Today a housemate threatened to complain to the landlord that I have overnight company too often unless I agreed to their request to leave the kitchen window open at all times. What a strange thing to be blackmailed over. I've already written to the landlord to request a consultation about it.
