Hi Reddit,
This is something that has been keeping me up at night. I feel like a total and utter failure financially. A little background:
I am 29 years old, newly married. I own 2 businesses on my own, which are quite successful. I have a lot of media presence, even with some of the biggest financial media groups in the world, no lie. However, all this is a sham, it's a front. I look, act, and feel successful, but I'm not. I look, act, and seem successful to my family and peers, but I am not.
My current situation is(excluding my wife): -Pay myself a salary of approximately ~125,000 Annually -Savings is about 14K -Student loans at 60K -Credit Card Debt of 12K -Lines of Credit Debt of 3K -Checking account average ledger of ~1,200 -Lease a car @ $799/month -Monthly living expenses(rent, tv, con ed etc) of ~3K
I am sure there's more I am missing, but I feel like I am doing so much wrong. Somehow, even with my businesses handling my gas, eating, and other minor expenses, I end up with too much bill and not enough month.
Last month, my wife and I finally began looking into homes and I realized I had to admit to her that we couldn't afford it as we don't have enough saved and I was afraid of the mortgage and other expenses. I've never felt lower.
Guys, please help me- I can't live this lie anymore. What do I do?
