So I started dating this wonderful girl whom I adore recently. You all know that with all my gushing right? Things are going better than expected and there have been no issues yet, but there is something borhtering me. Not about her but about money. She makes a lot more of it than I do. This doesn't bother me at all. IT's just that I don't feel like I'm able to be a good boyfriend when I can't afford to pay for myself a lot or that I'm having trouble taking care of myself finacialy.
Yesterday we went out for the 4th and WEnt to her friends condo. It was beautiful, and tasteful. She was my age.
Then we went over to our friend Glenn's house. Not my kind of place or neighborhood, but the inside was very well done and he owned it! He is two years younger than I am. Then after that we went to another of her friends houses and it was huge, with a stunning kitchen that I know for certain cost them at least ten grand. They were also my age. Then I come home and see my house. It's a great place, that I rent and can barely afford that. I won't say what I pay in rent but it's not over the top by any means! My car is falling apart and I can't even afford to get the seat fixed so I can take anyone anywhere! I look at my skin and realize that I can't afford my medication even with insurance! I'm close to defaulting on my student loan payments because I can't afford the payments. The truth is I can afford the rent, but I can barely pay the bills too. Plain and simple! I"m broke and have been for a while.
So my delima? I need to find a better job. Easy enough. The trouble comes in when I realize that I fucking love where I work. I mean Love it!!!! So, I'm going to start looking and see if I find something that I like that will pay me better and I will likeas well!
Also, I"m willing to cater small events for extra money. So please if you or someone you know needs some help with a catering event or wedding or something I will be more than happy to make anything they like, and will chagre fair rates. Please folks I need some help.

What if you kept the job you like and got another job that pays well?
