The Good Old Days

Thanks to Olga Quinn 

When I first moved to Atlanta I had absolutely no money. I was 22 years old and fresh out of college. I had a job, but I was only making $25,000 a year. I thought I would be fine on that salary, even though I knew that I would have to be very conservative. It was hard at the time, but now when I remember those lean times, I remember all the good things. I used to complain a lot about not having any money, but I had a great time. I made so many friends and had so many new experiences. I remember when I moved out of my studio apartment into a one bedroom and could actually afford DIRECTV atlanta for the first time. I thought I was so cool! I finally had enough space to have friends over for dinner or drinks. Now that I am older I wish I could go back to those more simple times. Now I have all of these responsibilities like kids and a mortgage. Sire, I have more money, and I can spend more, but those days were fun.
