You see me in a fancy car but i got it use and paying twice what its worth brand new... you see my son in a fancy eddie Bauer carseat but what you dont know is a friend gave it to me bc i didnt have one and she was unable to get pregant after trying for years... you see me out at the scoccer field with my kids cheering them on but what you dont know is i dont have a home and they live with my mom... you see me at the store at 3am on a saturday night but what you dont know is i just go off after working a 20hr shift... you see me in a nurses uniform heading to work but what you dont know i make the same as a McDonald's worker... you see me hanging with friends every evening looking like i have all the time in the world but what you dont know i cant afford food and they are feeding me.. things arent always as they seem so b4 you judge someone get to know them listen to their story see things from their eyes bc what you see isnt always what you getFB_IMG_1500595901253.jpg

So you're overpaying for your car? I don't even have a car...

I didnt at first i walked 15miles one way everyday to work for 2 years to save for the down payment while paying for my other bills... you can achieve anything you put your mind to... my goal is to have my children live with me in my place again... i set my goal and ill achieve it as well as me not knowing you but i know if you are truly determined to get a car you can make it happen...

Wonderful post, and very true. I can relate.
