I understand, I make pretty good money for my age (21) 10-20k a month. My parents do not they make around 40k/yr and they are definitely struggling. I offer my advice to them but I do not give them any money. Before I made good money I would try to motivate myself by telling myself al the reasons I need to make money and I failed miserably, lost my job, and became depressed when I wasn’t bringing it in. It wasn’t until I forgot about every stress I have that I was able to relax, get a new job, and advance quickly. What really killed my spirits then was thinking I need to succeed so I can make other people happy (Ex. Pay of loans, helps parents etc.) when I really just needed to do what I wanted to do. Don’t go to an interview and say to yourself before “I need this job” then you’ll stress and it will be obvious to the employer. Go in there be honest, relaxed, and confident. What’s the worst that could happen? Stressing about things that don’t matter made me graduate early, miss out on a lot of fun, and miserable. Just relax have fun and focus on becoming the person you WANT to be.
