Participantthis reminds me of a dating experience not so long ago. long story short after a few dates (which i paid for) woman plays the “lets be friends” card.
Me: I have enough friends and i’m not interested in more.
her: ?!?!
me: so let me get this straight, as your friend you expect me to pay for everything and you do what exactly? …just sit there and entertain?
her: (surprised) well ya
me: ya thats not going to work for me
moral is. in any dating situation both people should be looking at what they’re bringing to the table. if you are wonderful, fun to be with etc then i’m fairly certain there are people who would respond accordingly. to have expectations without bringing anything in return seems a bit shortsighted.

ParticipantThanks everyone for your suggestions. I’ve tried to reign in debt, no new cars or fancy electronics. Biggest debts are school loans which are soberingly large (think law school large) yet manageable.
From what I’ve gathered, this is classic tortoise and hare. Essentially I need to continue plugging away and looking for good opportunity to buy property at a reasonable price (which I expect will happen w/in next 3-5 yrs) or otherwise invest what I’ve saved.
