why?

why is it that when u get paid each week that there is nothing left. i hate complaing but it is just so frustrating. we work so hard and are trying to get out of debt and do the things that we need to do and it just seems like we are getting no where. dont get me wrong we have the bills paid and there is food on the table and gas in the car which is serousily killing us right now but things are takin care of but that is it. there is nothing left. i know i should be grateful and i am for being able to do those things when i know that there are those in the world that cant even do that. i should not complain but at times i look at those around me and wonder how can they do all that. its not fair but what am i to say that they are not swimming in debt or really arent making it. ok so now that i have gotten that out i am pathetic in my complaints. i am grateful and i do feel blessed that we do have what we need. but someday maybe someday i would just love to be able to have some left over each week after the bills are paid.. is that just to much to ask? anyway i have said my peace.
