My co worker. All she does is bitch and complian. Negative Nancy.

Her husband has had some health issues in the past year. But even prior to that he really wouldnt work or hold a steady job. Co woker has always said "yeah DH is known for not wanting to work".

Co worker has taken on a second job outside of her professional job to pay the bills. She probably works another 30 hours a week at her 2nd job.

I feel bad for her. I do BUT OMG and I am not trying to judge but she BLOWS money.

Examples:

A church and several co workers at her other job gave her gift cards for Xmas to use and to buy groceries. What does she and her DH do? Go out to eat, by junk (candles, clothes).

We found out we are getting a bonus- she plans to take hers to the casino. She says she feels lucky. :jawdrop:

She plans on using her income taxes to get new hardwood floors put in.

She was given a grocery store GC recently and said that "we just bought junk".

WTH.... It's not my business at all. But I have to hear her complain ALL THE TIME about being broke and being "$800 in the hole" every single month!

Oh and her DH who can't work. He is applying for disablity. YET he can work "side jobs". Oh he is always feeling okay enough to work the side jobs, but not a real freakin job. Instead he will let his wife work 70 hours a week.

My old neighbor was like this. So freakin annoying. And when I was a single mom, her and I were making about the same amount and I was doing better then she was.

I know people fall on hard times. I have. But then you dont spend on ANYTHING extra. That is my mind set. I lived 1 year and didnt buy one single thing that I did not need. Not 1 thing. Took a year and it was hard but I got myself out of debt and then was able to live a normal life when it came to bills.

Ugh sorry just had to vent! Im about to start my period. So sick of hearing her bitch when she just does it to herself.

I believe he already got rejected once but they are submitting more paperwork.

I agree, many people don't get it and they can't tell the difference between a want and a need. DH and I have been only purchasing needs for over a year now and we get so much slack from people. Its a difficult mind set to get into if you are used to buying all your wants and it takes practice but it can be done. Hopefully the people who have been donating to your co-worker in her "time of need" will realize that she doesn't really "need it" and will keep the money in their own pockets.

I would be so stress if I was "robbing Peter to pay Paul".

She will pay her monthly minimum credit card payment then use the credit card to get groceries! OMG. How do people live like that willingly?

I wasnt always good about money. Especially when I was with my BS's dad and I was picking up his slack. But you best believe when I came into "extra" money (bonus, income taxes) I was making sure that I was catching up on bills and stocking up on groceries.

Sounds like my FIL. He turns down union jobs then can't make the mortgage payment. What does he do? Takes his last $20 and goes and buys a case of beer to drown his sorrows. SMH
