Commiserating

I'm never one to feel better when others I know are in bad spot. Even if I don't like the person, it doesn't make me feel better if something bad is happening to them. It doesn't comfort me. And yet, sometimes reading about people like me who are struggling to find their place and financial stability is very reassuring. Don't get me wrong, I wish them the best, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one pinching pennies and (trying) to focus on the things I have, instead of all the things I don't.
