About teddybear818

I am of the generation where the cost of living is so high, for young adults, many of us must move back home with our parents, or never leave until our money situation changes.

I have filed bankruptcy at 25 years old due to many different circumstances. Which were always be a responsible young adult where I have worked since I was 15. Being properly taught the value of money, but not the value of myself. Settling for mediocre pay, pay cuts, and inflation all the while still trying to be a productive part in society. Go to college and pay off student loans. Having the freedom of a car, paying the note and insurance.

Having everything in my life go wrong because of the lack of money, mismanagement of it, when juggling bills, and responsibilities. Not having children of my own due to the fear of not being a good provider.

I am currently still working two jobs in the education fields, and still not making ends meet. I moved back home two years ago with my Mom, to end up feeling like a failure. Stuck in the "chase your tail", perpetuating cycle with finances. I can't make more money to pay for certification tests to be a NYC teacher, because of so many reasons. "You cannot move ahead unless certain roadblocks are removed" – I. Teddy Bonet
So you wind up living a mediocre existence, never fully happy, never able to help others the way you would want to, and not feeling proud of yourself- no matter how many things that a person has accomplished in your life...

Thanks for your time.
Sincerely
I. Teddy Bonet

hi, I just visited your website. Read what you wrote and that hit too close to home for me. I heard every word on that page and wow. I couldn't agree more. In some way you were describing me. At times those were things going on in my head but I didn't know how to put it into words. That was so amazing. Elke

Aspirations

   

Higher Goals

Goals that seem impossible to most.

Dreams for the better

Better situations, environment, and life.

 

A golden ray of sunshine

A refreshing cleansing of the mind, body, & soul.

Out with the old, the negative

In with the new, and the positive

 

A means for the best-

Then I must have…

Prayer, hope, faith, determination, perseverance and trust daily,

In the Lord above to see fit that I have,

and don’t EVER have to go without.

To enlighten my path

Broaden my horizons,

to try to

reverse the coldness in our hearts.

 

I aspire for big, better, best.

I aspire to stay meek and humble.

I aspire for love, peace, and rest.
